Sima Video Copymaster

This is the best 49.95 I've spent so far on this hobby. I have an Athlon 1.3 gig, 512 ram 120 hd, VIA chip set computer. Not the best for video capture. I use a Leadtec TV2000XP Deluxe card for capture from my VCR. I have always had to capture 720-480 using the huffey codec then rencode with TMPGEnc to DVD. I bought this "Sima Video Copymaster" to try to work around Sony Giga Pocket's copyrite protection in a different computer. Well it didn't work for that and I was ready to send it back til I tried it on my formentioned Athlon. Now I can record from VCR directly to 720 480 DVD format using Winfast PVR at any bitrate, no rencoding necessary and burn directly to DVD with Ulead Movie Factory at better quality than I was getting using the huffey codec and rencoding. Amazing. I read on another post where this is a must have item. It's true.

I have it. On older tapes or tapes that have lots of wear the macro still shines through on my setup. Buggs the shnot out of me.
