I've got a pretty massive laser disc collection. You know those old, dinosaur sized DVD's. Some of them are classics like the last special edition releases of the Star Wars trilogy before they "improved" them with cartoon Jabba the Hut and the like. I've been pining to get these copied to a more modern format before my laser disc player dies. I've tried to do this using my old video card's AVIO capabilities, but I lose a lot of video quality, the audio drops to mono, and it is unreliable because my system grinds to a halt and I end up with choppy sections. So Pinnacle's USB AVIO capture solution with onboard MPEG processing would be an ideal feature. The easy splice features would also be great for getting rid of those disc flips and swaps that are the bane of an otherwise good (if now completely irrelevant) media.
That and of course my just-turned-one year-old daughter's home videos that are sitting precariously on DV tapes would make this a GREAT product for preserving memories and actually being able to view and share them. I've actually got it on my wish list of products, so winning it would be a real boon!
Thanks!
