Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter | Amazon Exclusive 2 Bonus DVDs [Windows]

I was hesitant to buy this after reading the reviews. But I ended up purchasing it anyways. After some initial issues I was able to put my VHS home movies on my harddrive. After going to the Roxio website and downloading the software (per their recommendations), it was still missing “Critical Registry Keys” and would not run. The Roxio website wasn’t much help. So I installed the software disk that came in the box.Leaving the web download installed. After install it prompted me to update the software. I clicked the link and the software worked as it should. Software is pretty basic and easy to navigate. I would have liked to see more editing options, but it does what it says it will do. This software and hardware will get your videos to your computer but it is a “no frills” package. There is a trim option to clip out sections of video. This, for me anyway was tricky to accomplish. I had to be careful as to not trim/delete sections I wanted to keep.

I connected it to a windows laptop and it worked as stated. I do have a ton of experience in video though but the directions seemed to be straight forward.

I have been fighting with this since July 15th! When I first set it up I was able to convert 3 short videos before I got the blue screen of death and that was the end of it. No matter what I tried there was no way it would find the video. Trying to get in touch with Corel Roxio support is impossible! If you are lucky enough to get into the chat line and they dont disconnect you before you can tell them you need support they will tell you they are not support and just give you a ticket number and tell you someone will email you in 4 to 5 hours. I got 1 email after 4 chat requests asking me to send invoice, picture of the box..all sides, the paper work included, UPC code and the device, a screen shot of the error and a detailed description of the problem. Ive sent the email with all they asked for 4 times and still have not heard back from the support desk. There are drivers missing in the software that you will not be able to install to make this work so why they would tell everyone that this is Windows compatible I dont under stand. Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus is anything but easy and is a waste of money AND time. At one time Roxio made really great programs but since Corel bought its not worth wasting time on.

The adapter is just generic, but works with the included software. That said the software hasnt been updated for some time, but worked with Windows 11. I purchased and returned other units that while seen by the operating system, the included software would not work with Windows 10 or 11. The price is terrible for a product that has not been updated in years. I needed it, so I paid the price. That said the software is slow to process the recorded videos. That is not including the playback time of the original video. If its an hour long, then it takes an hour to copy. That is not a Roxio software problem. The post processing time on a high end gaming computer is slow, that is a Roxio software problem. I neither received nor asked for incentives of any kind for this review

I needed to digitize some old VCR tapes, and another product I bought was pitiful in terms of picture quality and features. This Roxio product does a much better job of digitizing the same VCR tapes playing through the same VCR deck onto the same laptop. I havent gotten deep into the various editing feature yet, just very happy to have decent picture quality at a reasonable price.

Love it

Took about 15 minutes to install and get up and running. Now Im converting and uploading old family vids to my Windows-based computer which I can upload and privately share on-line with family and friends. The sound and images are a bit better than what was on the tapes but ultimately the degree of quality will depend on the source tapes. I am satisified and would definitely recommend it.

Never could get it to work, but I’m sure is more me than the product.

So easy to use right out of the box. I had tried a couple other ones that were cheaper but they didnt work. I loaded this and started using within minutes.

After trying another brand that didn’t work and no tech support after 1/2 a week tried this one. Connected to computer, downloaded software, fired up the VCR and success. True I have an extra step to import into Pinnacle, but this take minimum effort. Recommend this to all. One thing, I noticed they use the same tech support as the brand that didn’t work. Just saying.
