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

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.

Headline says it all. Easy to setup and use with Mojave 10.10.5. Saves to .mov format. Decent quality, considering the source technology. Dont buy the Roxio VHS to DVD for video capture if you intend to use with Catalina, at least at this point in time (May 20).

I have some really old VHS tapes that I wanted to include with photos in a DVD re a trip taken in 1993. I looked for an inexpensive way of transferring the tapes to my MacBook Pro computer. This product includes software and connecting cables. You dont need a television. Just connect your VCR via USB cable to the computer, start the VCR, and you can watch the progress (like you do on TV but smaller) on your computer as the data is being transferred. The data is compatible with iMovie and can be easily converted to just about any form with the free MPEG Streamclip application. For some reason the process of converting the data directly to iMovie did not work and I had to use the aforementioned application to make the necessary conversion. For that reason I gave the product 4 stars rather than 5. All in all, this is a great buy. It does the job without needing to buy an expensive VHS to DVD recorder.

Products were squeezed into bag and unable to look unused.

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.

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.

This item is great! Easy to use and makes good quality DVDs. This could just be user error, but one thing that would help me is if the size the transferred file will be was shown BEFORE you begin the transfer. Sometimes the file is too big to burn to DVD and I could have adjusted the quality or planned to separate items if I knew ahead of time. Often I find that I have to do another transfer to make a copy of a VHS that will fit onto a DVD and since the transfer happens in real time it can take a lot of extra time.

Works as advertised, but haven’t tried the dvd creator program.

Be for-warned! I would not recommend to anyone that they purchase any product from ROXIO/Corel. My experience with ROXIO/Corel has shown that supporting their product as advertised is not of importance. So how can a customer trust that the product purchased will be what is advertised? I purchased ROXIO Easy VHS to DVD for Mac based on the features advertised on the ROXIO web page including the following description. Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac Contents: -Installation CD, including --Easy VHS to DVD Capture software --Roxio® Toast® 9 Basic disc burning software -Roxio Video Capture USB hardware --USB extension cable --Video Inputs: Composite video (RCA) and S-Video (mini-DIN) --Audio Inputs: Stereo audio (RCA) In addition, the current packaging for the ROXIO Easy VHS to DVD for Mac states that the product has, Everything you need to make DVDs from your VHS, Hi8 and Video8 movies and home videos! The packaging also states: Transfer VHS video to your Mac or DVD Create DVD movies from VHS, Hi8 and Video8 tapes None of these statement is completely true based on what is now delivered as part of the product. After receiving the product I found that it did not contain the ROXIO Toast Basic. After several attempts to get help with the missing application, I was informed that ROXIO no longer provides Toast Basic. It was stated in the email from ROXIO tech support, that the web page was out of date and would now be updated. I was also informed that I would have to purchase a separate application to complete the VHS to DVD process. In my experience, if a product is stated to include an application and that application is no longer provided solely due to the companys actions, the company has provided an equal or better alternative application at no additional cost. ROXIO/Corel does not appear to care if their product meets the capabilities advertised. Due to the apparent limited availability of Video capture devices advertised as being compatible with the Mac, I have had to keep this product. I am still trying to find an inexpensive application equivalent to Toast Basic to complete the transfer process to DVD. Again, I do not believe that ROXIO/Corel deserves any future support by customers due to the demonstrated lack of concern with providing customers with a product that meets the expectations set by their product advertising.

Purchased the Mac version. About 1/2 the price of other such devices. Works perfectly when hooking up the good ol clunky VCR to transfer 1980s family footage to digital. Creates .mov files which easily drop right into iMovie.
