Good Points: Setup is as easy as falling over
good for a beginner
it will capture at 720x576@25fps in DVD-PAL mode with bundled software, or in Xvid/MP3 with other software
Bad Points: bundled software is only good for beginners
Cannot capture in DIVX/XVID & Mp3 using the default software - although it will actually capture at 720x576@25fps in DVD-PAL mode, it will only capture at 352x288@25fps (PAL VCD res) in MP4 mode or uncompressed AVI - (but you can always capture or convert quickly and easily with free software like VirtualDub or SUPER) - solution below!!
this was £24 when I bought my "V-Stream Dvd maker USB2.0_1.1 " two years ago, now it's £35 and called the F5U228 but it's the same thing (Belkin)
General comments: I bought this for a friend, I was so impressed with the picture quality I kept it for myself, it was better than any TVcard I've ever installed (I've been building PC's professionally for over 10 years)
it will capture at 720x576@25fps in DVD-PAL mode.
personally I don't use the software that comes with it. Plug it in and when windows asks for the drivers, point it to the driver folder on the CD. Then use AmCap or VirtualDub (both are free) to capture at 720x576@25fps using Xvid/mp3 codecs.

I was hoping to use this device to transfer my ageing collection of VHS tapes to DVD. Its specs imply that it should have no trouble doing it on my 1.7GHz PC running Windoze XP SP2 with 768MB of RAM.The first problems I had was no colour in the preview window and no sound. After a lot of wasted time, I finally found the NTSC/PAL selection option hidden in a sub-menu called "Image" and correctly set it for PAL (it defaults to NTSC) to restore the colour. After more wasted time, I discovered that ...- Read BobTech's review (322 words)
