You can search for "USB 2.0 Video TV VHS DV Capture Device DVD Maker Ulead" on eBay and you should find the same device. I'm not sure if it's from the same seller though, so a bit of verification on the sellers' reputation is always a wise idea.2010-06-19 06:27:00

Yes, it is. Thanks, Gilgamesh. Plus there's also the fact that this thread is pretty old and something newer and better may have been released in the interim. So, considering the age of the thread and the fact that the listing in the first post is invalid, plus Gilgamesh's advice above, I'm going to lock this now. Cheers!


P.S. If anyone has anything new and relevant regarding this particular device, feel free to PM me and I may reconsider.
