On a notebook, the unit (Win7 32-bit) has been smoothly with the driver install from the CD. On another PC (Win7 32-bit), there was only an error message and the driver did not let itself (type name from Device Manager at Google and load drivers, which took quite a while) install. Then came the top software "Corel VideoStudio X5", so you could also record what. One needs probably to the old enclosed version not try.
Then came the moment of truth and the old Hi-8 camera to the stripping. After a few test shots then the disappointing finding that the sound is not recorded. In principle, part would be as useless because bring me the video without sound nothing. After unsuccessful after several hours of research on the internet, no sound was to elicit still, but sometimes sound was easily reproduced so, I did not give up and even tried a little around. I do not actually managed by a chance to come up with the solution. On the PC (Windows 7 32-bit) has then worked out by in the taskbar at the bottom of clicking the speaker icon and presses Mixer. I then closed down all the time this window. In order for the recording worked out perfectly - even with sound.
The recording quality is mediocre, as far as I can tell. However, it may be due to all involved components and must not only come from the stick.
The processing of the stick is the purpose in accordance with the extent and stable. Generally I find a metallic housing beautiful, but the plastic panel tuts.
