"Overall the Video Advantage USB is a great alternative to a PCI card. If you have a laptop and would like to do some capturing this is also a great option. The programs that are bundled are easy to use, and come with lots of features to tweak out the exact format and size of file you desire. There is also editing and burning software that accompanies this product allowing you to make a full featured movie to go. I did not like the copyright restriction that came along with this however. Being able to record TV and DVD’s are the main reason people would purchase something like this." If you don't like cracking open your PC or use a laptop, this might be a good option for you.
