I am having issues with dropped video. Audio is fine. I'm getting video about half the time. I have a 3ghz, HP compact 6005 AMD Phenom II with 4g of ram. I'm running windows7 PRO. What can I do to get a steady video stream.

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video. I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

Actually hold off, there may be a problem with video video output with the adopter. I'll look into it tonight at work and get back to you later tonight.

Has anyone had any problems with audio/video being out of sync? This reviewer had problems with this on the 720 model: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TPJCPHOD8OK8/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004QOA92A

The Aspire One I had ran on Windows XP. So I gave up on watching any videos...not enough memory. Kept stopping to buffer and buffer etc. Since Windows 8 supposedly uses a much lower amount of memory and thus frees it up for other programs, maybe it would work ok. But can the hardware support Win 8? I don't know. Bottom line is if streaming video is critical to you, look at another model. This is my personal experience and I am not an IT professional.

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

This computer seamed to have great speed and video. I returned it because of windows 8 and a feature that switched screens all of the time. It may or may not happen during gameplay, which I would personally find annoying. This, however, may be with all Windows 8. I purchased a new computer with HP that had Windows 7.

I didn't experience the setup problems you did, nor did I experience the stuttering. So I guess the answer to your question is that things must have improved. After more testing after my initial review, I did encounter a few negatives: I did hear the noisy fan (I didn't notice initially since it was in a room I don't often visit). When trying to play the streams on my MacBook laptop using Safari, I did get stuttering, but that isn't my primary use case. And when playing on Roku, the video quality isn't as good as, say, the same shows streaming from Hulu. But I would expect that since Hulu isn't streaming live and can devote more horsepower to encoding the streams. On an iPad, however, the streams look great! Also, I've recently had a chance to try streaming from Simple.TV to ChromeCast. Similar issues with video quality not being as good as live TV, but quality was the same as on Roku. I actually prefer viewing on ChromeCast vs. Roku, but that's my personal preference. Overall, I'm quite happy with the device. Is it perfect? No. But it seems that it is getting incrementally better with each software update.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

I had no problem with transferring video. Sound came through fine. I went back and looked as I have only one video on my phone. I could not find the file on my laptop but it is in my Dropbox and it has sound. Tried to transfer again with cable and you are right, it had no sound. I cannot remember how I got it into my Dropbox.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold

Sometimes the settings for the video need to scale the output to a full 100%. This has happened to me with other types of HP monitors. You need to do this from the manufacturer (AMD/ATI) settings program to make the adjustment.

I am assuming the bottleneck is the hard drive. My pc desktop's hard drive is 7200 rpm and there has been zero frame drops.24 MB of system memory, 7200 rpm hd, Adobe premiere. Also the hd to store vid cap was a separate drive from the OS drive. This should give you an idea even though we use different platforms.

I tried win 7 profession and ubuntu, if the hd video is on the pc them it run fine, but if your streaming it won't play hd video well. I wanted just for streaming video from netflix, abc.com, nbc.com and youtube.com. Other than the OS and the browse there was no other intent purpose for it. if you going to use it for a web server this great but the video card on it is very poor, though, cpu is ok

There are several options in the video output stream to let you see the video on a very slow connection. You can adjust the frames per second and the video dimensions. Making fps and the dimensions smaller do the trick. The higher the fps and dimensions, the better the quality. I've accessed these webcams on dial up (19.2kbps) and been able to see the output, but you pay the price in that it is choppy and small.

Yes you can. Because of the small amount of ram it may need to reload often. Some of my video seemed to run in slow motion.

yes, I guess the only thing is that mine is malfunctioning when downloading from memory to the computer, it does it but there is no sound from videos, only if tplayed in the device itself but not when I downloaded into my comp. sometimes the focus is flurry for 2 seconds and then goes back to being ok.

Hi.sorry.I do not play computer games. Video quality wise I can say that sometimes it "hangs" on hd YouTube videos,sometimes it's ok.I'm not if it's video or network card problem. Overall I would say it's 4/5 device for the price.
