Hi. Does an external capture device come with this ultimate package like it has in the past? If not, can I use the one I have from Pinnacle v12?

It does but it's a horrendous program I would avoid at all costs. It will use 100% of your computer resources and crash routinely with Windows 7 64 bit. Try Adobe, iMovie or final cut pro

I have done this using the old Studio Movie Box and loading it into my desktop with Pinnacle 14. But I must say as I remember I had problems with getting Pinnacle to recognize the devise. I did do a lot of this when I had earlier versions of Pinnacle. The newer ones don't seem to cooperate. I hope this is of some help.

For viewing on any computer with a USB port get the EzCAP168 USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - sold here on Amazon around $16. Works great for any device with composite video output.

I dont know about this specific device. However if you try to record from another device it won't work. In order for the software to work you most use your voice and a microphone.

This is capture device, you will need to get a conversion cable with correct ends (which essentially is an extension cable). The internal works of this unit will attempt to transfer information.

I hope you read this post. I just ordered this dvd recorder for my husband for Christmas, (to go along with the hdtv and dvr service). I assumed that he would be able to record movies off the t.v. But on the box it has in little writing: an external tuner is required for taping movies off cable or sattelite. Do I need this, what is it, and where do i get it?

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

You can hook one up through your graphics card USB port the graphics card on this comp as one.As for a interal capture card I'm not sure.I would go with a Eglato but I hear that roxio is abit more noobie friendly and has some editing software on it

This is only a video capture device. You still need the video to come from somewhere.

Hi Scott, I bought this unit about a year after it first came out (2007). Mine came with the standard 30Gb hard drive with the zif interface. The unit came standard with a USB cable, video out cables (no HDMI cable), a remote control that you could use to control recording, zoom in/zoom out and playback control if you connect it to a TV/monitor. I personally swapped the original 30Gb drive with a 80Gb drive (had to since the 30Gb drive completely failed). Any additional filters, were not part of the standard package. Any modern Windows or Mac computer can deal with the AVCHD movie files that this camera produces. It has been a stalwart for the six years I have owned it, and its optic zoom lens is really more than decent. Of course, nowadays, 1080p can be achieved easily with an iPhone, but trust me, the crappy lenses that all smartphones come with along with their crappy digital zoom, will never be able to match the performance of a good optical lens -- that is just reality. That being said, new cameras which support 4k recording are not that expensive these days -- the problem that you will have is that smooth 4k digital editing requires fairly powerful hardware. I can honestly say, that today's consumer/prosumer level computer hardware/software can finally be used to edit 1080p AVCHD files smoothly -- so let me see, six to seven years before the hardware/software became up to snuff to edit the video from this camera? How many more years before 4k can be smoothly edited? I still use this camera to this day -- colors are kind of toned down, but other than that, excellent video/sound output. And of course, the night mode is impressive -- you can take monochrome videos in absolute darkness.

Do not know if the video card provides capture capability. Video card works extremely well under Windows 7 64 Bit Professional Edition. See my review of the card.

This is the wrong product for you. 99% chance it won't work. Check out the "HD Game Capture Device" from Elgato. It works on my Vista OS.

Mike, Hello. The only decent editing software I found to work ok with the raw Vado HD files was Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. When I tried Premiere Pro CS4 I experienced the same thing as you. I would get audio, but no video. It seems you might have to convert your footage first. Oscar V.

Ah...I see. I had the Shark007 32-bit drivers installed but didn't yet have the 64-bit drivers installed. I installed the 64-bit drivers and then rebooted. I opened WMP12; however, all my mkv's are still in the "Other Media" list in WMP12. Do you know how to make WMP12 re-categorize the mkv's from "Other Media" into "Videos"?

I would suggest using open broadcast software with this video capture. u can't use this device to record voice. also u can't play and record at the same time with this device. Again u have to use OBS with it to get the recording. Also u r going to get low quality video with this device.

I still use XP Pro. I expect my Capture will work on newer versions of windows. 8.* is supposed to have touch screen capabilities.
