Rating: - great buy no problems
all the bad reviews rated this product bad because they say it doesn't work with vista.that is not true at all.ANY PROGRAM FOR XP WORKS ON VISTA.this is how to make it work.Vista has a COMPATIBILITY MODE!!sarry if i seem mean but all you have to do is when the install program comes up right click it and theres a option for compatibility mode.If it says you need adminastators rights, you need to go to computer then open view files and run as adminastratur and check the box compatibility ...

Rating: - Worked great for me, out of the box.
I got this after finding my second of two Plextor converters quit working (different models on various computers, they just both stopped working well after a few months, for me, or anyone who works with me).Anyway, have been using this product (Pinnacle) for a number of days now.It works great so far, and it does not need an external powersupply like the Plextor devices do.Further, the software that comes with it is delightful.Having experienced various frustrations with Roxio, this Pinncacle ...
