The Honestech requirements call for a 2GHz P4, so you'd want a Mac that's faster than that. You didn't mention what kind of Mac you're using for a host. I'd have to capture in a smaller window, etc. My experience with USB TV tuners in the past has been less than optimal. Video capture can be quite resource intensive. Most times, this won't be noticeable in light duty applications, but video is often not light duty. There is always a performance penalty with a virtual machine. These are my thoughts, based on my experiences with VMWare products over the past few years: So I'm not sure how much help you'll get. I don't think there are that many people using that specific product here on the forums. Video Output: DVD,VCD, SVCD,AVI,WMV,MPEG-4.Processor: Pentium IV 2.0 GHz or equivalent.Operating System: Windows XP (SP2) / Windows Vista.Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe system requirements In the VM, I am also running with 'Accelerate 3D Graphics' enabled. I have tried increasing that, with same result. All Windows XP tests were run with 1MB memory. I have also tried it in a Windows Vista Business SP1 with the same result. I am running Fusion Version 1.1.2 (87978) on my iMac with Mac OSX 10.5.4. If I run everything in my BC partition native it works fine. I have tried it under Fusion in a non-BC Windows XP VM with the same results.

I am not able to play the mpg file in Windows Media Player, it crashes. After capturing, I am unable to edit, ie the Honestech application crashes. If I run in my BC VM while capturing, the display will periodically pause. However, it does work in my bootcamp system. I have been trying to get this to work with Windows XP under Fusion. I have Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe USB device for converting VHS tapes to DVD.
