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

We just got all my gpas videos. I bought a vhs off eBay. Using Mac. Super easy to use allows digital or burn to dvd To see these videos is priceless thank you

I found a bunch of old tapes and wanted to get them into a digital format. I looked up this product, and although I saw a lot of bad reviews for it not working on OSX 10.6, I saw a few others said it worked fine. I have 10.7, which I just upgraded a little while ago from 10.5, and it works fine. I plugged in the software, plugged in the cables and updated anything that needed to be updated and boom its there. Ive already ripped 3 VHS tapes onto my Mac. You just have to let it play as its recording. Which is good if you want to watch the video again right before you start editing it. You can also mute the audio so you can continue facebooking or whatever it is you kids do.

Very good product. I am loading all the Super 8 recordings taken years ago with my now old analog camcorder. The quality of both, image and sound is excellent. I have just a little problem. Files of converted videos are in MPG format that is no compatible with Macs iMovie. The software Easy VHS to DVD Capture that comes with the product, convert automatically the files to be read for iMovie, but this operation make a duplicate of every video with different format occupying a lot of space in the hard drive.

The Good -- Ive used Roxio products for many years off and on -- always found them useful and user friendly. Always accomplished what I bought it for. The software on this product for MAC is great. Once installed it was simple to set up and begin converting VHS tapes. the BAD -- the device that connects to my laptop is terrible. First it took a lot of time and effort troubleshooting why there was no picture. I had to google it -- and found out you have to plug it straight to the laptop usb. New Mac laptops (at least mine) does not have the standard USB port anymore. Got out my older laptop, confirmed all was in working order and tried again. You have to wiggle and maneuver and wiggle and pull and wiggle, etc. ALOT before the picture will display. The tape is running, all the audio is playing but the video is not. Once you get the cable and USB JUST RIGHT -- DONT TOUCH IT!!! It will take forever to try and wiggle it back in position. Its like the USB on the Roxio device just does not fit and connect well in the usb port on my laptop. now -- its not displaying a picture anymore. It was an hour ago, now nothing. the video still plays, sound still going -- and I didnt touch the device or move the laptop at all. So very disappointed in the quality.

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.

I am a fairly experienced Mac user running 10.7. I wanted to migrate home VCRs to DVD. Bought the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD product, after reading several reviews and checking that they had solved the OS 10.6 to 10.7 problem. About 6 hours later, my conclusion is: SAVE YOUR MONEY, THIS PRODUCT IS FAR FROM READY FOR SALE. On installation it updates to version 2.01. I made all connections correctly. All appears to start properly. However, I consistently get a failure to save message. Hard disk space disappears, and all appears well, so you only learn this after wasting the length of the movie. Repeating the process results in the same negative result. (The used HD space is also a mystery as no file results from the aborted transfer, you cannot easily delete something and recover the space.) No support from Roxio - just many unanswered questions on their discussion boards. I understand that these companies cant afford to staff a call center, but is it too much to ask that they review and answer outstanding complaints? Nothing - no error (OSS -49) decoder, no tips or hints, just outdated product manuals. Bottom line, save your money, or spend it on some other product.

I would give this product no stars if possible. While I was able to convert a VHS to a digital format it was impossible to convert to a DVD because the audio was always out of sync and lagged behind the video. My whole purpose was to be able to create DVDs of our home movies. I wasted at least 20 hours, many blank DVD disks which always had this lag. I contacted tech support who did not seem to understand the problem, Even after explaining it a number of times in several emails. Their solutions was to uninstall and then reinstall which made no difference at all. They just didn’t get that the problem was not so much with the VHS to video portion but with being able to create the DVD with their included software. So, if your goal is to convert VHS to DVDs, I suggest you don’t waste your time or your money.

Product worked great. Transferred videos from VHF tape player, Sony 8 mm Camcorder and from Direct TV using the two audio and single video cables to my Mac computer. (Must supply your own cables) Used the included software to edit the videos removing un-wanted sections. You can set the length of recording time to auto stop at 60, 90, 120 or 180 min or just stop while watching. Once on the computer, I used Burn as the software tool to down load to a DVD playable on any DVD player.

Not sure if it is this device or my old VHS recorder, but when there is a glitch in the VHS tape the rest of the conversion is not synced (audio and video is off). Other than that...I have been able to recover ALL my old VHS and 8mm anolog tapes and convert them to digital.

purchased it to move vhs to dvd - I use the Apple Mac and the way they made this appear as though its a simple plug and play device, I contacted customer service only to be put on hold for 20 min to then be informed they needed to bump this up to a tech support at which time all I get is an auto generated email stating thanks we appreciate you letting us know DONT BUY
