I have been using it with a Windows 7 machine and so far have found no degradation in the quality of the video transferred and copied to a CD. I have transferred 8 VHS tapes so far with great resolution!

It works like the cell phone headsets. Depending on what size your computer has ex. 2.5mm or 3.5mm audio. But it is both audio and speech in the same jack.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

I have had absolutely no program with picture quality. I can only think of rechecking all of your connections. Wish I knew more but I am the original electronic idiot!!

It works just fine with both Win 7 and Win 8.1... I will say that under either OS, if I leave the interface up, eventually the USB drops the connection with the PC and I have to power cycle the unit or unplug and plug back in the USB cable. There may be newer drivers which address this or it maybe configurations I can modify on my PC. But to your question, "how well does it work," I get smooth streaming sound when I'm working with it ... did you have specific requirements in mind?

Lyn,The TV has an HDMI and USB connection as well as a host of Video and Audio input/outputs. I've not tested it with a computer but I have tested it with a Wii and it works great.Hope this helps.

I think its just a one computer download, but either way it isn't worth it. The recording is sluggish, it slows down your computer, and is an overall bad software.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

actually, it doesn't work at all. I use it once on my PC. And it never worked again.

We had a system it plugged in to, but I have seen adapters that you can plug into a computer with. However, I will forewarn you the one I got had HORRIBLE quality. It would alternate between a muffled sound and whisper quiet. No amount of adjusting helped.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Mine works fine. I just don't use it much. Not very comfortable. 2 different computers? It plugs into my Olympus recorder. It may draw current, so you may be trying an incompatible hookup. With the male plug on the end I can't see how you get a direct connection to a computer.

Don't have an answer but it transmits audio and visual signals, are they different on a computer than a TV.

Regarding question (1) : it does not degrade quality over time. Or with large files. Be certain to have anything to help cool down the hard drive, tho. If you mean degrading material quality, does not. I have one for over a 1.5 years and no problems whatsoever.On question (2), you cannot add commentary directly. But using a mixer (or a computer) and a microphone, you can. You may need some additional cabling, but it's totally possible. With the mixer solution, you can be certain about volume levels before post producing the videos.

I honestly cannot tell you my man because I tested it to check the quality of the camera first then I plugged it into the computer and it didn't want to be recognized by the computer. I had to do a little tweaking here and there and finally it was recognized and I gotta Tell you that once I saw the quality of the pictures and the video, I was so disappointed and didn't even bother using it anymore. Sorry brother
