Does the product degrade quality and how can i add commentary, is there an effective way since you need to use a different way of adding it?

You can't do commentary. Aver media made the second version that does have a microphone input to plug in a microphone and do commentary. Look it up. It's called "aver media game capture hd 2" hope this helps

Regarding question (1) : it does not degrade quality over time. Or with large files. Be certain to have anything to help cool down the hard drive, tho. If you mean degrading material quality, does not. I have one for over a 1.5 years and no problems whatsoever.On question (2), you cannot add commentary directly. But using a mixer (or a computer) and a microphone, you can. You may need some additional cabling, but it's totally possible. With the mixer solution, you can be certain about volume levels before post producing the videos.

The quality is pretty good, there is no way to get perfect quality with compression, but this is close. For commentary you can add it after the fact (record during with another device) using editing software on a computer.

Hi Mike, I've never had a reason to do that so your question made me curious so I tried it out. Power Director has a series of "tracks" that it displays when you edit a video. The original video has both a video and audio track. There are additional tracks below those that allow you to add another video and audio track, add an effects trqck, etc etc. All of the tracks also have a small control at the head of the track that allows you to turn them on and off at will. So, I opened an unedited video and just clicked "disable" at the head of the origianl audio track and the audio is gone. Click in the disable audio track again and your video is back. Power Director keeps all of the original material (original video, audio) additonal audio or video, additional effects, etc active within a "project" so that you can go back later and tweak anything you'd like without having to start over. When you "produce" a video you edited, the produced video gives you only what you enabled and/or added and none of the elements that you didn't want. So, you can disable the original audio, and replace it with what you want (if in fact you want audio). The produced video will have what you replace the original audio with. However, your "project" is always intact should you want to go back and change something later. It took me a while to get used to Power Director, but I've come to like the way it works.

It's just another hard drive similar to the one you have in your computer, so no it won't degrade quality.

No it doesn't. I would have to disagree with the bad quality comment though. I have no complaints.

Dear Valery: With this Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 software, you have many choices of audio editing, for example you can extract the audio from a video, you can change the volume of a song in MP3, you can make conversions of audio from one format to another, mix, trim, add, add silence between songs, add fade at the beginning and at the end of a song, you can add special effects, among other things but I'm commenting only a few options that I've used, but still have not used most of the options that the software has naturally required patience and time to take advantage of the program, as it also has an excellent tutorial that will indicating you step by step how to do, it is really very well recommend it since I've had other editors and this is the best and all off the foregoing their specialty is the edition of video clips.

Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired. Sony could not correct this noise problem, but they did report to me that they tried several of the cameras on site and all of them also made the sound. I requested another new camera which they agreed to, but it does the same thing. Fix: I tried using an external mic on a stand, but the quality would pick up too much ambient noise. I recently corrected the problem by purchasing a Rodeo Shotgun Mic with an adapter shoe for the camera mount. I wish I had done this years ago. You don't realize how important good sound pickup is until you use a good quality mic. Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired.

I really don't recommend it, I did it using video cable and with the time the quality decreased and right now only the audio works well as the video looks terrible, bad investment.

Hi Jane, I hope what follows will help in your purchase of this software. I saved it to my hard drive with no problems noted. I am willing to say that you can save or back-up the program to a DVD or other drive that you desire with no problems that I can see. The software is still available to me on Amazon for download with the serial number. I purchased it Oct 2013. I use it for design work for my CNC work that I do and the manufacture uses in their online classes. As far as I can tell this Designer 2D is a full working copy and I actually downloaded a trial copy Designer 19 prior to purchasing Designer 20. Good luck...there are a number of videos on this program and the help function gave me what I needed. I have two monitors so I would watch and follow the videos in learning the program.

Good question. I've always just replaced the entire thing. It will pull off with a little effort but I'm not sure how to sanitize it. I'd like to know the answer to that question.

i don't agree w/Anthony. mine is a POS. new video should over ride old video as Darek said, but i recommend you spend your money elsewhere and get a better quality product. mine quit working about the time warranty expired

I searched the web for video + instructions and found a few helpful sites. It's not hard to do - but you will find discrepancies in the pictures used in the instructions - set-to-set variances, where things are located, what they look like, etc. use you head and take your time - the chip fixes the problem - it's worth the effort

I have no idea why the video is bad, this item I have and the video and pictures when taken are clear, did you update your software? Adjusting the Logitech Pro 9000 for video is case sensitive. Perhaps un-install the software and re install and see what happens, sorry to hear that you are having problems with your device. Thanks TW

Yes, you can do that, but the picture is still terrible. The quality of this product is below bad, it is nearly impossible to use.

Don't waste your time. The contrast you'll get is horrible and besides pictures & slides r the ONLY thing you own that r irreplaceable. Why would want a half-assed end result? Take them to Costco or ANY slide-to-digital house that uses vastly superior equipment.

I'm quite sure you can pick and choose what you want. I usually just record a CD and then edit the finished product.I haven't used it in quite a while. When I did use it, I'd just pop a CD in, and when it was finished I'd take the mem stick to the PC and listen to it. Anything I wanted to edit I would do that using DAK editor.
