Highlights

Quality


Product works perfectly to capture from my old sony camcorder or dsr45 deck into my mac pro tower or macbook pro laptop.


The cable has worked flawlessly and the quality of the construction seems top notch.

Competitiveness


This helped me get my dv tape videos backed up onto a harddrive (via wife's macbook air with thunderbolt port).


I bought this to connect my older drobo raid backup storage to an old pc i converter into a dedicated plex media server.


It is time-consuming as the share from imovie takes over an hour to process for creating a high quaily mp4.
