Yes, absolutely. Perhaps not specificying the format leads to a lot of confusion.

I live in a PAL area. And my prefered method of capturing (for home use anyway) is either DV cam pass thru' or very high bitrate (9000+kbps) Mpeg2 capturing using the ADS USB 2.0 device (my thanks to Fred for this tip).

However, at the end of the day the ADS is the easiest device to setup and use and 'way' cheaper than buying an DV camcorder. Sure editing is more difficult to do with Mpeg2 but you get used to it!
Good to hear you like the ADS. It's also nice because it will handle PAL, NTSC, SECAM and variants. Pretty cool for <$200 USD.
