ClearClick VHS To DVD Wizard with USB Video Grabber & Free USA Tech Support

Over the past few years, Ive been putting our old home VHS movies on DVDs and giving them as gifts to relatives at Christmas. The first year I did it, I paid someone to transfer it over....and it cost me $20/movie. In an effort to save money, I researched and settled on ClearClick. It works well, but it does take a long time to transfer over video. Even though its not the fastest, were happy with how it works and love being able to convert tapes to DVDs on our own.

I had a few issues, on my own fault, and the support that I got was very quick and helpful ! Quite frankly, I was surprised at how good it was. The product itself did have a few black frames copied to the DVD while I could see it on the TV screen, but this was not much and overall I am very satisfied !

I used this product to transfer 24 VHS family tapes to DVD. The hardware and software worked really well and I found the editing functionality to be very effective and easy to use. The quality of my DVDs seems to match the quality of my tape recordings; good sound and visuals. I did find that it worked best if I kept my file downloads to something less than 60 minutes as I ran into some editing issues when I exceeded 60 minutes (could be a limitation of my system and not this product). It also seemed to work best for me if I edited from the beginning of the file and worked to the end. I would definately buy this product again and will recommend it to others.

I was unable to get this to work under windows 10 - I sent an email off to support and got outstanding support from them. We tried a variety of things and ultimately I was unable to get it to work under windows 10, but I have another older windows 7 box and I was able to get it to work using that machine. Im giving it 3 stars due to the setup/configuration issues - setup should be more straightforward I think - Ideally it should be a plug and play solution. Once we did get it to work, however, the quality of the captured video was very good. It looks the same as playing the VCR tape itself, so I found no degradation at all. I cant thank their support enough - it was superb. I doubt I would have gotten that level of support with cheaper devices.

I was hesitant to buy because of some of the reviews with Windows 10, but Ive not had any problems. The instructions say to make sure you have .NET Framework 2.0. Had 3.5 so no problem. You have to turn off the screen saver, which disrupts recording. When you edit videos to cut out sections, the Export function needs to replay whatever you are saving, so this can take some time. Converts to WMV or MPEG. Had a couple of VHS tables to failed the app when I tried MPEG, but they recorded as WMV just fine. Is a basic app, but it works just fine.

It took me almost an entire weekend to figure it out, but once I did, it was great. I must say the directions booklet that came with this product lacked a few details as far as step by step instructions, especially for someone like me who is not computer savvy. After finally going on YouTube, a few details were cleared up for me and I was able to record all of my old family VHS tapes to DVD. Very relieved now that I no longer have to worry about these tapes deteriorating over time. It was worth the time and the $30 spent on the product.

Quality of product and ease of use are each in the 4-5 star range. Desirable feature that is lacking is that when product stops recording after a time period as predetermined by the user, there be an actual indication that the recording has stopped (so that customer can leave the recording alone and come back later without having to keep track by oneself of how much time has elapsed since recording started). More than balancing any minor drawbacks Is the superb customer service, which rates 6 stars for their promptness and helpfulness in responding to any difficulties arising with product usage. Correction and Addenda to my earlier review: No change in my ratings. The software DOES have a built-in timer, to the right of the STOP/RECORD toggle, so it is possible to know how far along you are in the recording. Video input signal parameters can be adjusted independently for Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Gamma. For better recording quality, source device should be a 4-head VHS (if available) rather than a 2-head VHS device. As noted by other reviewers., there is a few second delay between the audio and video capture. How important this is depends on what is being transferred. For a lecture, for example, it should not be of significance.

Worked for me. Windows 10 Although the software COULD be a little more intuitive, and editing out portions of videos is CONFUSING. Dividing video into chapters is a tedious pain. I eventually just chose to automatically divide chapters by every ten minutes or so, just to save time. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5 It would probably be best to use this only for capturing your VHS tapes, then use other software for editing. But I finally got around to putting our wedding video on DVD.

I was having issues with the picture quality. I emailed tech support. They guided me through several setting changes on their product and my computer. Finally they came up with a fix to my problem. Customer service from this company is exceptional! Know that if you have problems with this product tech support will be there to help

I Like the product to save my old VHS tapes. Tech support is extremely responsive. I started the program with a problem uploading the VHS tape, no sound, picture only. They helped me figure out it was due to a previous program that did not totally uninstall. Fixed that. Editing is a little complicated, havent figured it out yet. Their burn to disc, for me, doesnt work. I quit trying after a number of attempts, even though Tech support had more ideas to try. The disc would not work on a DVD player and TV. I found I could easily drag and burn to disc in Windows. This process turned out great for me. Sound and picture and the DVD disc works on computer and DVD player. When I try to burn to disc from this program I get no sound from disc on DVD player. I give their tech support 5 stars just because of their effort, quick responses and determination to make it work.
