VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

I love this Vidbox VHS to DVD! Ive had two video capture devices before. The first one the picture quality was awful. The second one no longer worked after I upgraded to Windows 10. I ordered a Vidbox VHS to DVD and tried it out and it worked like a charm. It did a beautiful job of capturing video from my Handycam! The picture quality is superior! At first I had some frustrating experiences trying to get it to work properly. This is expected. It takes some practice to get this contraption to work properly, but youd get the hang of it.

I purchased this when I was the Video Director at my church. We recorded all activities within the church and made DVDs for the members that requested them. I used the 5.0 Deluxe for more than 5 years and changed to the 8.0 when we upgraded our camera. I had used it for 2 years when I handed my position over to the younger generation. The instructions were not intuitive but Tech Support was great. A dependable application and one I would recommend without hesitation.

I wouldnt say its entirely user friendly but it has helped to get our old home movies from VHS to a portable hard drive. Grab some popcorn, pull up a few chairs and enjoy the movies because you have to sit through them anyways. The problem i had with ours is that at times it would freeze and not record requiring us to have to start over. That was annoying but by babysitting as it was running we had less issues. Some technology just needs to be babysat i guess.... Get it if you got time to kill and do not want to see your home movies deteriorate to nothing, or you can binge on old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Captain Bucky O Hare tapes

I didnt do my research to make sure this product was compatible with what I had. So, I believe that the product is a 5, but what is truly a 5 is the service. It truly was one of the easiest and flawless returns Ive ever done. No one really wants to return items, but if you must, making it this easy makes it so much better. Thank you.

This is an awesome product. My only dilemma is that I cannot transfer all of my VHS tapes because the kind that I have requires an adapter and no company makes an adapter for 8 mm tapes. This situation is not with the Honestech product, it is with those manufacture who make a product and do not make the accompanying product to transfer HOORAY FOR THIS PRODUCT. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. THIS IS HOW SATISFIED I AM WITH IT. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRODUCT. NOW IF YOU CAN ONLY MAKE A PRODUCT THAT I CAN USE TO TRANSFER MY 8 MM TAPES TO DVD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. BE THE FIRST TO DO SO!

This product works exactly as described and does a great job of capturing and copying VHS to a digital format. I recommend this over many others simply because of the ability to create MPEG4 format as most other converters will not do this. The software included is very easy to navigate and understand. This product would work great for an inexperienced or experienced operator. I have it installed on a Win 10 machine and it works very well.

Im using a Surface Pro 4 and the editing software doesnt work. It worked the first time and then afterwards it stopped. The video quality is poor compared to original vhs or 8mm tape and works inconsistently. Audio background noise and video discoloration and banding are evident but not on the original tape. The cables are cheap and often come loose. I had to use my own. You have to exit the software and then reopen if you are doing multiple captures or recordings. When first playing a video sometimes the software doesnt display the video and you have to exit and reopen the software.

This package does a pretty good job of capturing VHS tape video for editing and creation of a DVD. The quality of the transfer depends on the quality of the VHS tape. The software is basic and easy to use, but includes most features that are necessary. I did not try to record audio only or create a slide show, so I cant speak to all aspects of the software. The hardware seems to be well built and the software works smoothly on my relatively old Windows 7 machine. In all, it is what I expected.

I’ve been meaning to convert my old VHS and camcorder tapes and wanted to make sure that someone could help me if I ran into any problems since I have no experience in any of this. I was a little hesitant at first after reading some of the reviews but decided to give this product a try anyway because they seem to be the only one I found to have customer support and people who used their older products seem to like them. I ran into some problems at first when I couldn’t see anything on my PC so I called the customer support and they walked me through the whole thing. It turned out that I just connected the cables wrong. I felt a little embarrassed but the guy I talked to was very patient and nice, and even made sure everything worked fine before getting of the phone. Other than the glitch at the beginning, I’m actually surprised by how easy it was to use! I even tried to edit a little using their more advanced mode. I’m definitely glad that I got this product and would recommend it to others like me.

I have used the 5.0 version and it worked fine copying old VHS home movies. I bought this one to use on a computer without a optical drive (cd tray) and could not find online where to download the software. Finally I saw in small print with the link in instructions under the first step. I had missed it earlier and tried to search online. Version 8 has more options, like saving as a media file rather than trying to just burn a CD, and it works well. Quality is mostly dependent on your old VCR.
