    This VHS converter to digital assembly does the job using the RCA plugs, I could not get the S-video connector to work.

    This product does what it says. I had a little trouble getting the sound to work and record, but I called Roxio tech support and they helped me get it working within about 15 minutes. I have a MacBook Air with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I am in the process of digitizing old VHS to computer. It comes with software on DVD, however our computer doesnt have a DVD drive. Tech support was easy to contact and provided me with a link to access software via email. I am having a lot of fun editing downloaded VHS into short iMovies!

    First, the program would only import ten minutes of video (and it was not at all quality resolution even on the high setting). Anything over ten minutes and it would give an error, wasting hours of time. I know because I tried this three times (six hours) before giving up. Great. After I navigated the confusing labyrinth of Roxios register your product for customer service pages, I eventually could send them a help request. After this, Corel (Corel are apparently Roxios new owner) gave me a link to a downloadable software patch. So I installed the patch and the program will now import full length VHS tapes...but, of course, the resulting files are not able to be imported into iMovie. At all. USELESS. I eventually used iSquint (this is totally separate software and was my own idea...Corel/Roxio were NOT helpful and did not respond to my follow-up issue at all) to convert the unreadable Roxiod files into something I could manage to import into iMovie. So...yeah. After all that, now I can import crappy-looking medium-resolution videos files into iMovie. HOORAY! This product is garbage. I expected a lot better. Also: If you (Roxio/Corel) know its not going to import files longer than ten minutes without a software patch, why not just print out a little piece of paper with that patch link information and stick it in the box before you send it to the warehouse? Cmon, how hard is that? Youre a bunch of dimwits over there at Roxio/Corel, apparently. What I wanted: highest resolution possible files from VHS tapes with a minimum of fuss. What I got: mediocre resolution files with a maximum of fuss that are remarkably time-consuming to make. Do not buy this product. Try a different method.

    For a Mac user the MyDVD app behaves like it was made for Windoze users. Very buggy and not intuitive. I kept getting a message toward the end of a DVD burn A disc burner was not found Code: -104121669 Through trial and error it seems that the disc I was using didnt have the capacity for the movies I was trying to burn. The MyDVD app indicates how much space is used and how much is available, but forget trying to fill up a disc based on those numbers. The Roxio Video Capture works quite well - no problems there.

    I think this is the first time Ive ever been moved to write a review of something on Amazon, but its only because of my current level of annoyance with this product, and my need to warn others: Simply put, if youre running anything resembling a current Mac OS (Im using 10.12.6) this product will very probably not work in any acceptable way. I have tried it on several different computers, using several different VCRs, and cable pairings. All cleaned before use. And the results are consistent: on playback either the audio is way out of sync, or its in sync but the picture quality is unwatchable. Customer service has been just slightly better than abysmal. After one round of troubleshooting, the Technical Support person lost interest and stopped responding to my issue/email/concern/plea. I am returning this product, and will put my refund towards a proper high-quality transfer device, like the ones sold by Blackmagic. Its at least $100 more expensive than this product, but given what this experience has already cost me in terms of time and stress and pointless customer-service-chasing, I will happily pay the difference.

    This worked great for me! I have a MacBook Pro and I am so happy I was able to save my home videos with this!

    Roxio does it again. I tried many, MANY approaches to convert VHS analog video to digital and burn to a dvd. Went through a good deal of crap [sorry, but yes] and frustration and Im a decent hacker. Part of the problem here is Apple. They simply walked away from support of any PPC [the older Motorola] chip in favor of Intel. If you can get access to an Intel machine running OS X 10.6 or better, this will work. Install the application on the enclosed DVD onto said machine, connect 2 plugs, cue up the tape and GO. 40 minutes later, you will have a 40-minute digital video file on the HD. Burn it, copy it, edit it, whatever. I ended up putting it on a 4GB flash drive. Please note: THIS WILL NOT WORK ON A POWERBOOK G4 OR IMAC G5, REGARDLESS OF THEIR OS X. IT JUST WONT.

    I was quite worried with all the bad reviews, but so far this product has worked exactly as advertised except for the fact that after copying a DVD, the selection to burn a disk with Toast did not work automatically. I had to open the Toast application and than drag the video to start the burning process - not really a big deal. The Toast application is actually Toast 9 and seems to be the full version. There was an upgrade for both the copy program and Toast, which I downloaded before trying the software. I am still a bit concerned about the reported poor support by Roxio, but hopefully, I wont need to contact them. By the way, I am operating Lion 10.7.1 on a 3.06 GHz intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4 GB RAM. One caveat - dont expect great DVDs from poor VHS tapes. You still get the quality of the tape, which, of course, pales in comparison to what we have gotten used to with DVD.
