It took a little fiddling to figure it out and get it working but now that I’ve figured it out it’s perfect. I use it to digitize VHS tapes and upload the commercials to YouTube.

My wife had video on VHS that she wanted on DVD. I told her I would have in in few hours. I went to Best Buy and bought the package in the store. I loaded the software that came with it on my desktop PC, plugged in the USB doggle device in the box and then hooked up my OLD VHA player to the inputs of the USB doggle device. I choose to copy the VHS directly to the DVD player/writer and let it run. When I came back it was done and it worked fine in the DVD player on our TV set. Simple and easy to use!

Software did not work correctly from the start. Had to contact support which was a PITA. They only responded through texts. Suggest trying a different brand.

This is an old product, however it still works with Windows 11. You'll have to massage some driver settings, but you can get it to work. It's essential if you got old VHS recordings and you want to digitize them.

Great item. Pretty easy to use and records well. Pretty easy setup and the program has an auto detect so you don't have to sit for hours until the tape stops. It will stop recording if the tape ends of if the tape is blank for longer than 20 seconds.

This was easy to use and my project of conversion went much more smoothly than I expected. One very "minor" ding is that they should have told you on the box that you need several extra cables (audio and visual) that aren't provided. I have cables of various sorts around the house, but would have been a bit annoyed if I had started setting up and had to go out and get the cables. Still, it took me maybe 15 minutes to figure out how it worked and hook it up, instructions were very clear and pictures helpful.

Great product for windows, easy to transfer videos into digital on my desktop

PRETTY EASY TO LOAD. FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS USING WITHIN 30 MINUTES. DECENT HELP FEATURES. NO OPTION TO SAVE FILES IN AVI FORMAT SO WAS DISAPPOINTED. MPEG-2, MPEG-4 OR H-264 TO BURN TO DVD WERE THE ONLY FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS AVAIABLE. OTHERWISE A USABLE PROGRAM TO DIGITIZE VHS TAPES.

Once I got it working, the product worked fine. However There were installation issues with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 PCs. In both cases the software did not detect the data from the VCR. I worked with Support, who were responsive and easy to work with on both issues. They had me delete and reinstall drivers, the product itself, and had me send them a ton of info about both PCs. Finally, after several days and attempted fixes, they connected remotely to the Windows 7 PC, removed registry entries, downloaded and installed new software and had me test it while they observed. Success! I worked with a different person for the Windows 10 PC. They took me through the same process with no success, but we were not able to coordinate a remote connection. Since I had the other PC working I decided to not spend any more of my or their time on it and closed the ticket.

Program generally works, but seems to have quirks that confuddle me. Clearer directions would really help me. I have only used the program to digitize 8mm video. Editing and combining clips is in the future.

This one works well, but you need a VCR next to your computer to be able to digitize your personal movie. I bouught this to digitize my old VCR cassettes.

Easy to use. Easy to hook up. I was able to convert all my home movies (VHS) to dvd. I wish they had explained in a little more depth about how to use it. i let an entire hour go by before i realized i needed to click on a record button...lol

I give the product itself 5 stars. The instructions are poorly written and only moderately helpful. After experimenting, I figured out how to use the product and the two separate software programs included with it. Other than better instructions, it would be nice if the wires were more durable (thicker).

I read reviews before purchasing this. After the purchase, I don't understand all the negative reviews. My best guess is that the negative reviews did not follow the instructions. First, plug in the device into your computer before downloading the software, so the computer download the drivers on its own. Second, download the software, either from the CD or from the website. Third, open up the software to let it find any updates, and let it install the updates. Now plug your VCR into your computer with your device to transfer. If you follow those instructions exactly, it work. My next best guess for the complaints is that people expected this device to turn their old home videos intro crystal clear, pixel perfect 1080p videos. That simply isn't going to happen. Your 80s, 90s or even early 2000s videotape recorder did not have those capabilities, so it would not have recorded that in the first place. Furthermore, if the videotapes have corroded over time, or even the VCR for that matter, that will affect the transfer, not the device itself. If a VHS to DVD upscaler does exist, you'll be paying way much more. My only real complaint is that the editing software is mediocre at best, but you can always purchase a better video software on your own. This sure beats paying somebody to convert your VHS for you.

Had an old version that won't run under Windows 10. Used the current version to convert a 40 year old privately recorded cassette tape to CD and mp3 formats. To a little time to figure it out, but it worked just fine. Friends who asked me to do it for them are very happy with the results.

Purchased to convert VHS and cam corner videos to digital format. Easy installation and use. Was able to convert an old VHS the first time out. Great product.

Very easy to use with great results. I have been backing up VHS and 8mm videos to digital files preserving family history for my kids and grandkids to enjoy. Roxio has an excellent product here. I am very happy with this product.

I really liked this product. I wanted a way to transfer VHS videos to a digital version. I liked that the software allowed you to choose how you wanted to convert. I chose digital but you could also convert to DVD. It was very easy to use and I was impressed.

The instructions suck that come with the converter sucked and I had to go online to find better instructions. But once I started using the unit I was very pleased with the unit. I highly recommend and happy with the purchase

Have never been able to get the software to work, but you need it for the device to work. (contains the driver so the computer recognizes the dongle). I've used other software to capture video, works wonderful.
