In general, VideoGlide devices have one s-video input and one composite input. TV-tuner style devices have only one s-video input. If this matches the technical description of your device, it may be a VideoGlide device.

The VideoGlide software is capable of capturing a maximum of 29.97 frames per second for NTSC or 25 frames per second for PAL. The maximum frame size is 640 x 480.

The captured video quality is extremely good, with brighter colors and better contrast than typical DV captures. Video and audio synchronization is excellent, even with extremely long captures. Captured movies require only 66.5 GB of disk storage per hour of uncompressed yuv video. Using the recommended JPEG compression requires just 3 GB of storage per hour.
