VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

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.

We love this product. We had dozens of cassette recordings, years of family stuff, all had been loaded in a dusty cardboard box... for who ever looks at cassettes anymore??? This product saved our family memories, converted them to DVD, where we now burn copies onto DVDs and share those family adventures with our grown kids. Example, our kids were little at their ballgames or birthday parties or talent shows or... and we got them on those old cassette videos. Problem is though we taped a lot of the game/party... way too much. Using this product, we found it easy to clip our old videos, cutting out the parts that no one will ever want to watch, then we merged our clips into a smooth DVD file, titling and dating each one simply by naming each file uniquely. This project is time consuming, dont think this job is going to be done in one day or two shifts. If you have a 45 minute VHS cassette, itll take 45 minutes to convert it to DVD, then, depending on how many clips you cut, add another 45 minutes to realizing your finished DVD product. The few questions I had were quickly answered when I called Honestech for help. Wife, kids and I love it.

I have to say Im very disappointed in this software. I purchased and installed on a brand new computer with plenty of memory and a very fast processor. I hate how you have to click on the Text box several times before it will come up for editing. The instructions in the users manual are almost useless. (the users manual seems to be for a older version of the software). Adding chapters is impossible to figure out as there is no instructions in the manual that tell you how. I cant log into Facebook to upload a video. For some unknown reason, when I added multiple photos to a slideshow, it imported them upside down! The software crashes when you go to the next screen to burn the DVD. Im not a novice when it comes to working with software like this. Ive used similar software for years, but purchased this package for the small USB Video Capture Device, because Ive tons of family movies to transfer. Now Im looking for different software and mad that I spent my money on this and wasted so much time trying to figure out how it works!

I like to use a product for a period of time before writing a review as to give a more accurate accounting of the item. I have converted 62 VHS tapes to DVD with this purchase. at first I had an issue and tech support had me download a new driver and I was all set to go. I am getting good quality images / video. I have had only one time that there was a glitch of sorts and the video did not burn. After the second try it went right through. I am extremely satisfied. Compared to ROXIO this one beat it hands down.

Pretty easy set up and use for a novice. Exactly what I was looking for. I was able to set it up and capture a video the I got it in the mail. I bought this to digitize a fairly large collection of home footage that has varying quality (some grainier, darker, lighter, etc.). Ive had it for about a month now and captured approx. 6 hrs worth of footage. I did end up scraping about 4 hrs worth because Im still playing around with the settings. Thats more my bad though, I should have waited until I had the software figured out. The only real problems Ive had thus far was shipping from the seller, an operator error on my part, and time to capture the footage.

The device works very well for recording old VHS tapes. The product saved me a lot of time and money! The instruction manual would be greatly improved if more detail was included with respect to selecting the appropriate settings when using the setup wizard. I think novice users may find it difficult to follow.

Delivered as expected; works as expected. Ive been using the device for 2 weeks. I like the ability to view the VHS recordings on my computer screen as I decide which recordings to save. After I was using it for several hours, the picture failed. I telephoned the help desk and the rep advised that he was aware of the problem and that I should be able to regain viewing the picture by trying a different USB port or re-booting my computer. So far, the problem seems to occur only after several hours of usage. If the problem continues, the Honestech VHS to DVD wont be useful for extended viewing and recordings.

Ive purchased other VHS to DVD programs in the past and have had issues with the audio being out of sync with the video. Im happy to have finally found one that doesnt have that issue. The videos I recorded were a bit choppy (which is why Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5) but other than that Im very happy with VHStoDVD.

Ive been able to transfer from VHS to DVD fairly simply, but I havent figured out the advanced editing features yet. Im not tech savvy, so I may not be able to do any editing. The directions are pretty useless. But, the DVDs I made played back on my TV/Dvd player as hoped.

I had two copy programs and cords but neither worked. Though not flawless the product worked for me. Sometimes though everything was hooked up properly I had to restart my PC to have it recognize the connections.
