Has anyone had any experience with using the Zio Corp. hardware, ( CameraMate Real Time Video ) to copy VHS tapes to a computer.

Thank you

Yes, my father has recently purchased this and I had a great deal of problems installing it on his system.
When I finally got it installed and captured some footage the audio was massively out of sync.
I think this was mainly down to his PC which he tends to install any old junk on and slow it down.

I was able to easily install it to my PC and captured some footage and converted to DVD, and it looked OK, although the original footage wasn't great so the output to DVD wasn't brilliant either.

It was fairly easy to use and converts to MPEG as it captures so there was no time having to wait for it to encode.
I think it would be OK if you aren't to fussy about how the output looks, but in my opinion I would look at using something a bit more specialised if you want a better output.
