VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

Software wont load, even the download from their website wont run with windows 10 directions say to select the .exe file but neither the disc or the zip file have a .exe file on them...... doh! Im researching now how to work around this but honestly I should not have to read hours of technical articles written in programming terminology to get a commercially produced program to run on my computer. Im going to try a few more things before I send it back to Amazon. Update: I was able to find the setup file and run the file. Once setup was complete I was able to get audio but not video to record. I called customer service and left a message they called me back and had me remove and reload the software. This time vidbox showed up as a video source. I attempted to record a video but the application stopped responding. Restarted it and tried again same deal. Restart d it and tried again and it worked. Now Im recording a 50 min video and so far so good. Currently recording the first video will update after video is done.

I knew going in that this product was likely to disappoint, but having read reviews for many of the other similar products, it seemed they all had their fair share of cons, so I took a chance. The bad: This software crashes. A lot. Without warning. For no perceivable reason. I tried updating the software, downloading new firmware, uninstalling/reinstalling, and nothing seems to work. While easy to use, the software does have some blind spots, most notable in the picture slideshow creator. That part of the software is basically unusable due to lack of option for sorting the photos and creating multiple separate slideshows for one DVD. The good: Even through the many crashes, I was able to eventually get my home movies onto the computer and create DVDs from them. I found that if I simply left the software alone and didnt touch the window at all during the download process, it would not freeze. It was annoying, and certainly not something I should have to do after paying $40+ for a product. I do not recommend this product. The ONLY reason I did not return it myself was because I was downloading home movies from VHS to create DVDs for a Christmas present, and I simply did not have the time to return it and look for a better product. Even on deep discount, this thing is broken and a real pain to work with. Its a travesty that something like this is released and continued to be sold. UPDATE: Three years later. Hi again. I just built a brand-spanking new computer with all the bells and whistles. I thought Id give this product another shot (seeing as how I had some more VHS tapes Id like to digitize) with the new rig. Certainly all those old problems were due to my lackluster budget computer, right? Wrong. The same freezing issues persist even now, with a AMD Ryzen 2700X CPU, 16 GB memory, new GPU, etc etc. I said not to buy this at $40+, and its apparently only gone up in price over the years to $75+. You do the math. There has to be a better option. 2021 Update: No idea why I keep thinking this junk is going to work. Its only gotten worse over the years. Now the video doesnt play in the screen on the computer either. Worst purchase Ive ever made.

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!

Great VHS ripping, great editing options, great dvd burning tools. Reviews that reflect poor quality reflect the quality and condition that the VHS tapes and VHS players are in. I tried three VHS players from Goodwill stores and the third one played the best. TIP: shop Goodwill and look for DVD/VHS combo players. These are the most recently produced VHS players and worked the best for me.

Wonderful video bóx, its Powerful for different old devices, as vcr, camcorder, Betamax, turntable. Etc, and the software its great, and can récord from turntable too for music mp3 files. Was the best choice I did, the video editor its soné kind basic, but you can capture your video in Mpg format, export to Avi or MP4 and can handle with another video editor as Camtasia, or Sony Vega

Transfers video as described, but the software to edit video lags and freezes consistently every video Ive edited. Ive had to save projects and close out, then go back in and hope it allows me to view without the skipping and freezing.

It does exactly what I wanted to do. I have been able to save my camcorder recordings on DVD and on my computer. I have been able to share the videos with my family as well.

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.

This is NOT windows 10 compatible, it lags and has issues when installed in Windows 10. It worked okay with WINDOWS 7 & 8 . The only issue I have had thus far is sometimes it lags a little, seems to skip a bit here and there and I am use to one that never did that. I have tried it in several different settings and still does the same thing. Its nice to have but not the best.

I bought this for my mom for Christmas. I saw a fella using it at work, he showed me the features and knew it was the perfect thing. It converts anything youve recorded into digital format. The ultimate security for those old Christmas and vacation videos long forgotten in a drawer.
