Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter [Mac Disc]

I had OLD VHS home movies I needed preserved it paid for itself. Although it is pricey there isnt much out there that is easy to use. I bought it for my parents to do there own conversion not very tech savvy so this saved me some time in having to do it myself and they had no problem using it.

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.

Its only USB 2.0. It will only work with USB 2.0. And you only know this when you install the software and go to plug in the device and see that it wont be recognized by the software but it is recognized by the computer. So if you have an Mac that is 2012 or newer, you will not be able to use this product. I had to borrow a neighbors old 2010 MacBook Pro to use this product. It does a decent job recording the videos. Im just glad I have to do this only once. Also, Roxio customer service sucks terribly. I got one email reply back from them 24 hours after I sent one, then replied to that one like instructed to if I had more questions and its been a week and havent heard anything about they said I would have a response in 24 hours. So in the end, its fine. It gets the job done, but you need an older Mac (Pre-2011) and customer service sucks.

Works perfectly on macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 For moving VCR Tapes to computer. I couldnt figure out how to burn DVDs but I put them in iMovie and did major edits and then posted online to share. When I get time Ill try to make sense of the DVD Burn part.

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!

The software was pretty easy to use, and I liked that you could trim clips within the program. I used the adapter with both an old camcorder and a VCR to convert various tapes. It was a slow process because the tape has to play through but I could start it and walk away, and it would do its thing. Maybe just one note, check the video quality settings when recording - it was set to record a VHS tape in HD, better for professional tapes but our home movies were like 360p with a massive file size. I just reduced them in QuickTime after but found that mildly amusing.

I was quite happy with the results I achieved with this product. I read several reviews before purchasing some of which reported problems. Most complained that the audio didnt sync with the video. I assume these people had insufficient memory or processor speed since I experienced no problem with the audio. The one small issue I had was when it didnt record audio at all. I determined that this happened when I powered down the VCR between sessions but did not restart the application when I resumed. Exiting and restarting the application restored audio capture.

This program will allow you to plug it into your video camera, VCR, etc (basically anything with an audio and video output cable) and directly into your USB port on your computer or laptop. It then streams the video and sound feed over, while recording it through its own included software. It comes with basic menus to add. The downside is that the description is deceiving as it requires additional software to edit it with IMovie on your Mac. But if you just want it to stream over your home movies, so that you can burn them to a DVD, then this will get the job done for you. Its easy to use too.

Easy setup and has versatile software. Video capture is very poor, multi colored vertical interference on right extending about 15% in to frame. Random horizontal static through out capture. Sound captured is also very low volume. Would require additional processing to restore sound levels. Source used was home movies on VHC-C. Quality was the same using 3 different devices and multiple cables ( 2 VCR players and original camera used to take videos). I had originally tried a V-Top unit by Fly Kan and while their captured video and sound was excellent the device failed after only about 10 minutes. I thought that Roxio would be more dependable, and it was, But captured video is useless. I suspect all of these video capture devices use about the same chips so quality will just be random. Ill try another V-Top.

Easy enough for a senior citizen to use. Works great!
