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

I was trying for months to get this video off the VCR from my friends house for months and this did the trick !!!

Have a new computer, took hours to read in a video and then to save it.

Wish there was a spot for ZERO stars in this product review screen. Before anyone asks, no, I did not contact tech support ... this software was so bad, I knew better. Please take some friendly advice of myself and many others ... DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, unless you enjoy hours and hours of frustration, Windows PC restarts, and horrible application software which is SO full of bugs and very unstable ... basically USELESS. I assumed this POS would at least simply import video from my old mini-DV and Hi8 tapes from when the kids were young. Nope! Installation was rough, and took a few tries. After it finally completed the installation, as usual, I go and set some figurations and tailor this to my setup here. Most decent software allows such changes and then saves them as future defaults ... you know, like LOCATION TO SAVE YOUR CAPTURE FILES. Nope again, any settings are lost when you exit or restart (which had to be done several times each day), no matter what you changed, none of the settings stick and it goes back to saving your capture files ... who knows where sometimes, very inconsistent indeed. Save your money, and just purchase the cheapest USB to RCA video/audio capture device on Amazon, and download OSB for your software. It is TREMENDOUS and very easy to use.

This works well converting my parents video tapes by plugging into the camcorder. Only problem is the product gets hot and to prevent damage, its necessary to give it a break after each hour or so of use.

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.

I thought I was going to have to spend hundreds of dollars transferring a bunch of old camcorder videos to digital format. I happened to come across this $20 thing, and I assumed it wouldnt work. Why do companies charge so much money to transfer videos if you can buy a $20 device online and do the same thing yourself? I figured I should at least try. I was amazed at how well the Roxio product worked. If you have some videos you want to transfer - and if you have a VCR or something that will still play them - try this product. You could save hundreds of dollars.

Easy enough for my computer illiterate self to use.

I would give this 5 stars if the audio would not or could eliminate a clicking noise that I think is coming from the VCR or my audio card as I tried 4 VCRs and the clicking noise was still present - not sure what it is but after many start overs and the cheapest VCR I have the clicking noise was very faint.

I was very hesitant after reading several Windows reviews on here but gave thus product a chance based on the fact that its a Corel/Roxio product. Im not disappointed. Im currently on tape number 4 of about two-dozen Video 8 tapes from my childhood in the 90s. I forewent the included installation CD and got the software directly from the website. After installation and an update, I was ready to rock and roll. The software is straightforward and offers basic help getting started. 5/5 stars from me.

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.
