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

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

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.

Needed app for my new iMac to copy camcorder videos to dvd it takes an extra step due to writing the camcorder file to my hard drive. Then I need to use an app named Express Burn to write the file from my hard drive to the dvd. Before I used Instant DVD on my Windows laptop and it wrote the camcorder file directly to the dvd in one step. Roxio takes two steps but outside of that it works as advertised.

I am very happy with this purchase. It connected and installed easily and I was able to start capturing those precious home videos from VHS tapes with ease. I am sharing the digitized videos with family via cloud storage, so this is really helping us stay hunkered down during the Cocid-19 crisis.

I purchased this product to convert my home videos from VHS to DVD to preserve family memories. The Mac version works really great. Setup was simple. Install the software and plug a VCR into the adapter. Start the software, continue through the sound and video connection screens, hit play on your VCR, and click on record when youre ready to start the conversion. Most of my home video was recorded in EPP so I could fit up to 6 hours on a tape. The longest I have converted so far is 2 1/2 hours into a single file which used just over 75 Gb. I then use iMovie to edit and iDvd to produce the DVD. Time consuming but simple.

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!

Setup of the product was easy. The one time it worked -- when I tested it for a couple of minutes on my iMac Intel Core Duo, running OS 10.6.5 -- it seemed to work well. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it again I received a message from the computer that the device was drawing too much current and that the computer had disabled the USB port. Subsequent attempts were ignored by the computer. I tried again on a different Mac on which I had installed the software, but it did not recognize the device either. Obviously, the hardware had been damaged. But this was far from obvious to the Roxio TechSupport people whom I reached via their web site. They would suggest I read the manual (which I had done), install the software (which I had done) and similar useless advice. After faithfully following their advice I told them repeatedly that we obviously seemed to be dealing with a hardware problem, but they have so far simply ignored that possibility. Needless to say, this has been a frustrating process. (I should mention that my professional background is electronic engineering, that I have used Mac computers, peripherals and software since 1986 and that many of my friends ask my help in troubleshooting their Mac hardware and software.) This process has now been going on for a month. It has usually taken 3-5 days for TechSupport to answer my messages and it has now been a week since the last time I heard from them. I have not idea how the device would work if it worked. Will update this review if anything changes.

Worked well. I did the hi8 conversion using my camera to play the tape. Transfers well and was easy to write the dvd. I then tested the dvd in my DVD player and worked great.

ABSOLUTELY do NOT buy this product. I first verified that my OS and hardware met the specified requirements. Bought product, installed software, made hardware connection, and tried copy to Mac. Did not work, screen did not resemble documents. Contacted support according website 5 times in next 5 days. The online support telephone number an chat is operated by sales an they just take message an pass to tech support. Tech is supposed to contact you by phone or email within 24 hrs. (There is no chat or phone for tech support). After 5 tries in five days with no response I gave up. Tried final option, email directly to Support. This requires registering software which requires creating an account. Created account but since default Web site takes you to Corel, must jump to Roxio site. Now here again, in order to register you create Roxio account. Tried to create this account but error message says account already exists for Corel. Another catch 22 circular SNAFU that keeps you out. Returned product will never recommend another Corel product.

Thought a Roxio product would actually work but was sadly mistaken. The interface was easy and actually worked pulling in a video from my VHS player. That is as far as my positive comments can go. The software that came with this was worthless. You press record and it appears to be recording, but after you are done you would expect a button saying finish recording (or save, or something along that line) but there isnt and the recording does not save anywhere on your hard drive. I went to the Roxio site and there is no support for the product at all. The software only showed an update for older software than what came with the product. I thought maybe it would help so I downloaded the only software they had on the Roxio site and it was worse than the original. With no ability to save the recording, it will not be in my possession for very long. I am sending it back. I have looked into the Elgato Video Capture option. I hope it works better than this POC!
