1 out of 5 stars Pinnacle MovieBox Ultimate   August 31, 2008
The program could not find the USB Driver 99% of the time and when it did, there were too many frames dropped to make the movie. I have tried it with Windows Vista and Vista will not read analog files so I purchased a new laptop from Dell with Windows XP and tried it with this system. It did work when the program could find the driver but it was really frustrating working with the product.


4 out of 5 stars great way to get rid of the VCR   May 10, 2008

I was making movies in a few min, after the software was installed. Of course you can make them fancy with menues and music, but i have too many to do. Pretty basic thing to use.


4 out of 5 stars A good buy!   March 10, 2008

I bought the studio Ultimate package fro BestBuy Boston 2 weeks ago. I was hesitant to buy because of the mixed reviews on the Net. This is my experience:
The pinnacle software installed easily. The only minor glitch is the registration of the sound soap add-on (Part of the Ultimate package) which had to be repeated 3 times.
The software interface is intuitive, very powerful and easy to work with.
The hardware capture module is nice. It is miles ahead of the Dazzle. Quality of capture is very good. Frame dropping is minimal (~85 frames =3 sec dropped in a bad quality 2 hrs VHS tape).
All in all a very good product .

The Moviebox was difficult to set up but with the help of Pinnacle Technical support it is now running very well. More detail in "Things that go wrong" could have helped me to sort out the setting up. FAQ's are extensive but searching for the solution required didn't match up with the questions I made.
The Studio software is intuitive to use with drag and drop being an easy way to construct a movie. Sound can treated the same way. Narration and music can be added on separate tracks with pro fading available to emphasise the sounds. With so many features available it will take me a long time to explore and use them.
I have not used the titles and fx's but as time goes on I'm sure I will.
Overall, the analogue video capture is excellent and the software easy to use. The possibilities seem endless.

Studio Moviebox Ultimate USB2 Pro Effects & Greenscreen

Bought this to replace an ATI video/encoder card.

The Pinnacle hardware/software combination drops frames when encoding analog video.

My computer more than meets all the minimum requirements. All extraneous processes are shutoff when I was using this (Anti virus, firewall, network etc.)

Interestingly, when I use the hardware encoder in combination with Roxio's Easy Media Creator software the analog video encoding works fine with no dropped frames. So I am using that combination of Pinnacle's hardware and Roxio's software for the encoding.

I have not used the Studio software (for other than encoding - which it does not do well), looks pretty capable for editing but I will have to update this review when I start doing editing.
