No but your post is

Having spent a fair amount of money on this and a variety of scart/ s-video connectors & adaptors and more of my patience than warranted I'll be as "childish" as I choose.
It's a turd and no amount of polishing will change that..as chief ^#!& shoveller around here you should make yourself aware that the chance of getting this to work with a UK VCR are between none and zero.
And before you going gobbing off again selling something unfit for purpose, by misreprentation, is an offence.
The use of "easy" would be appear to fraudulent .."includes everything you need to transfer your tape videos and burn them directly onto DVD".. a blatant lie.
"The Trade Descriptions Act 1968 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which prevents manufacturers, retailers or service industry providers from misleading consumers as to what they are spending their money on.
This law empowers the judiciary to punish companies or individuals who make false claims about the products or services that they sell.
Applying a false trade description to goods is a strict liability offence: provided it is shown that the description was applied and was false, the accused has to prove certain defences in order to escape conviction.
Each product sold must be as described, of satisfactory quality, and fit for purpose. As described refers to any advert or verbal description made by the trader. Satisfactory quality covers minor and cosmetic defects as well as substantial problems. It also means that products must last a reasonable time. But it doesn't give you any rights if a fault was obvious or pointed out to you at point of sale. Fit for purpose covers not only the obvious purpose of an item but any purpose you queried and were given assurances about by the trader."
Wind in your neck or I'm going to stamp on it very hard.

I use it and it works, well it does copy the tape, except for frame skips even with the new version

No, you must be the problem! i bought it yesterday, hooked it up, did the first video and popped it into imovie and edited and added and tonight made a DVD. It is perfect. So maybe you should flush yourself or learn how to read and follow instructions. A

I bought this product recently and find that it has many flaws. It does do what it claims it will do, which is capture VHS and allow the user to create a DVD from the VHS tape, so that there is no fraud that I can see. The numerous problems I have encountered are with the menu creation. The problems are far too numerous to list here. So if someone wants to capture old VHS tapes and burn them to DVD, this product will do the trick and the product will work just fine. However, if that same person wants to create a menu that is somewhat sophisticated in its look, navigation, and sound, then this is definitely not the software to use. The best that can be hoped for is to use what is provided in the package and not try to change any of it because it won't work out very well. On a scale of 1-10 I would say that 5 is average and that this product is a 4. I am only looking for a 6, a software package that is slightly above average in its abilities; one that I find myself pleasantly surprised by its functions and uses. I am going to keep looking. I need to investigate Adobe Premiere Elements 8.

Since you did not give any indication at all of what you think is missing, then your post is pretty useless. Maybe if you were to post what you think should be there, someone could tell if its possible with this software. Making a statement like "The problems are far too numerous to list here" is totally meaningless unless you give at leat a couple of examples.
