How good is XtraView?
Does anyone have any personal experience with this XLR8 XtraView video product?
I am trying to find something affordable to digitize lots of VHS movies to DVD. I have a 1 ghz G4 w/o USB 2.0. I will need to purchase a card I know, but before I plunk down $30 for a card and $90 for the software, I need to know how it performs.
In particular, what is the quality like? Are there any audio sync problems?
In advance, thank you for any help you can offer.
