This machine does not have video capture capability. When I had it built I did not see the need. This usb capture device looks like the cheapest way to go. Once they are converted I would have no need for the combo unit. I am leaning towards the $30 unit one review did not recommend it for a 64 bit machine. Since I have win 7 32 bit I do not foresee a problem. I have been wrong too many times before. Just hoping that maybe someone used one of the devices.
