I read a tutorial for converting VHS to DVD and it suggested a program such as this one. I bought a capture "card" and with it came software to do basic capturing and editing... all that this did. It comes with cheesy fade screens that I guess some who are into that stuff would love, but that's about it. It wasn't compatible with my capture card/system and didn't read my sound card so I couldn't use the program to actually capture, just edit. This box is just sitting in the corner now since I have no use for it.
