Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Not recommended

Strengths: OK to install

Weakness: Video quality, lack of support

After installing, I found the software very limited with virtually no help included and KWORLD help doesn't exist. I saw jumpy video in several different modes including MPEG and MPEG2. The image quality was not very high quality, and the editing capabilities were not well programmed and left much to be desired. I would buy another product.

Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Strengths: Hardware MPEG2 encoding, No external power needed

Weakness: Poor Software, can not watch image in capture screen if it is coming form a video player on visible fast forward, can not control hardware directly from Nero, no MAC drivers

I purchased a KWorld Xpert DVD Maker as a replacement/upgrade to the Dazzle Digital Video Creator that I had for three years. My primary use for both devices is encoding from video tape. The Hardware for the KWorld product is better - not only for the obvious reason that it can encode MPEG2 instead of just MPEG1, but also because it does not need any external power supply. There are only two...

KWorld Xpert DVD Maker USB 2.0 (Technical and REBATE)

Strengths: I find it easy to use and a good value. All of our Tapes have now been converted to DVDs.

Weakness: For the price to value rating, this tool does the job. If you want something more sophisticated it will simply cost more.

I've two comments. First, I believe that this tool and its interface are pretty intuitive and reliable. It would have cost a couple of hundred to have a commercial service do the tape to DVD conversion. Given the low price with rebate I wondered if I would have to return it. I was quite happy with the end result. Second AND MOST IMPORTANT: SCRUTINIZE any rebate offers from this company. I bought...

Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Strengths: Very easy to use and provides quality output. Although I do not have a DVD burner (yet) I use it to make VCD's. Provides one button capture from VCR and editing is easy.

Weakness: Would not recognize media in my cd burner until I upgraded the software at the web site. After upgrade it worked flawlessly

I had an older unit that would not work with WinXP and needed an upgrade. This unit is compact, easy to use and delivers good quality output. I burn VCD's on my cd-rom for play in my DVD player and this unit is just the ticket for easy transfer of VCR tapes. With its direct burn to DVD it makes me want to purchase a DVD burner! I had to use the USB update provided with the software and had no...

Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Strengths: Easy to use, easy hook up.

Weakness: PVR Plus software is pretty weak. Doesn't really work that well an doesn't have many features for editing. Makes editing cumbersome.

I really like this product. Was a little skeptical at first but found this product to be easy to use and worked out great transferring my old Hi8 video onto my computer and onto DVD disk. I have gone through practically my entire library of Hi8 tapes and converted them and the quality was pretty good too. The PVR Plus software that comes with it didn't worked well for me. It was very cumbersome...

Strengths: easy to set up, price, don't have to crack open your computer to insert a pci card

Weakness: software is really bad, instructions are non existant

Got it home and hooked it up and it didn't work, software keeps wanting me to upgrade my usb port but mine are 2.0 and my system is brand new.

I would highly recommend you have 2.0 usb ports before you start,...

Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Strengths: good picture

This product is great now I can recored my VHS tapes into a dvd without saving it to the hard drive frist. Its easy to work with the PVR PLUS program and its easy to install. The picture is good as well as the sound I like this product very much i recommend this to you.

This product is not that good

Weakness: Not easy to hook up, not easy to install software

I bought this product after reading all reviews. But I was not successful when I tried to install it the first time. First, the hardware is not easy to hook up. The S-video and video/audio connectors are all female, the connectors on my camcorder are also female. I need to find other cables to connect them. Second, it requires to upgrade USB port driver. I have a P4 3GHz computer (only 8 months...

Kworld VS-USB2800 Video Editing Device

Strengths: This product is really worth the money. It is easy to install and the software that came together make easy to record any image/audio source (TV, VCR, Digital or Analogical video camera.)

Weakness: When installing on Windows XP, you will probably get a message that the software "has no digital signature", however you should choose the option "install anyway"

I would recommend anyone to buy this product for four reasons: First, it easy to connect on the computer and on the video source. Second, the quality of the image it is really good (DVD quality). Third, the price is three times cheaper than the same type of device from other companies.And finally, it is small and light enough for you carry together with a laptop and use your laptop as a portable...
