Reviews
"I purchased this item to convert some old home movies, split them into separate chapters, and burn them to DVD. I could stop the VCR, but then the software would capture 2-3 seconds of blue screen. Save yourself some money and just buy the hardware from another seller and use the program "Virtual Dub.""
"I found it easier to just close program and restart to go on to the next VHS to copy, as I could not quickly see how to start new video project from the completion of the one I just finished."
"After agonizing over which software and equipment to purchase for the conversion of my 60 hours worth of family video, I gave Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus a try. When I opened the program and pressed "play" on the vcr, it took about a 5 second delay and then the recording showed up in the main screen area."
"Worked great to convert over old vhs video."
"On both Amazons' site and your site it clearly stated that with "Roxio Easy VHS TO DVD Plus", in addition to transferring video from VHS to DVD, one can "reduce video noise", "stabilize shaky videos", "improve color balance and lighting" and so on. ...and that if I want the features such as "reduce video noise", "stabilize shaky videos", and "improve color balance and lighting" I have to pay additional money for a "key"."

"If your hardware and operating sysem match the manufacturers requirements, you may have no problems at all. I have a powerful desktop system, far exceeding manufacturer's stated requirements, operating under Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit version. After a failed installation, uninstall, multiple attempts to reinstall,I found it necessary to uninstall totally, do use a registry clean utility to delete many registry entries not removed and not deregistered by uninstall, and start fresh with an updated driver downloaded from the manufacturer's website. 2) Check "Device Manager" to insure that "HT VIDBOX" is installed and working normally under "Sound, Video, Game Controllers." Despite that above comments, I do not know of another capture product that will perform as well, especially not at this price, so it may be worth any potential frustrations."
"I spent a lot of time getting the drivers to load even going to the manufacturers website, but a quick call to them got me straightened out. I had a few home videos from 15 years back that I just wanted to save and they turned out good enough. UPDATE 10/10. Yesterday I transferred 10 of my 1960's Beatle albums to my computer and I was very pleased with this product in that use."
"However; I kept digging around, and determined that the driver for the interface (a little white box which comes with the software) between my VCR machine and the laptop did not come with the installation disk. Worse, this problem was not disclosed in the installation instructions, so luckily I was tech savy enough to eventually figure it out myself."
"Note that the recommendations to update to the latest driver is no longer relevant."

"I haven't heard of Honestech before but they've put together a very affordable and very easy to use capture device that will convert your old video tapes to a standard digital format."
"If the VHS is older the quality will be lower even tho the rendering is 720p. If youw ant a quality restoration then you will need someone to do the magic in Final cut for you."
"* UPDATE * Discovered after buying that macOS High Sierra does NOT support the ‘capture device’ model (VCD01) included with my purchase .. however, VIDBOX customer support resolved by sending me a different capture device model (NW07) .. it works perfectly!!"
"works great and simple to install."
"It asks you how long do you want to record and you can preview the video that is being played along with many other features."
"Vidbox was easy to use and did an excellent job converting my Hi8 to apple format."
"The product functioned perfectly well, but it didn't work for the Mac as advertised and didn't come with a disk."
"I called to trouble shoot and they are going to send me an outdated replacement because this one does't work with Mac."

"Been using Roxio for years, but found Corel Movie Factory 7 easier."
"The program provides a couple dozen menu themes, but there doesn't appear to be any way to create use a custom theme, and the provided themes seem to be based around a familiar chapter-style interface--more traditional menu navigation (ie, "Play Movie/Set-Up/Special Features") doesn't seem to be an option. Fortunately, the program seems to be able to handle just about anything you throw at it where content is concerned: I mixed MPEG files with raw DV footage, including a variety of resolutions ranging from 160 x 120 to 752 x 480, and the program just workhorsed its way through the job at the click of a button. Addenda: I discovered the drag-to-modify nature of the track markers which allows the user to easily move or delete existing tracks simply by tugging on their flags. I also discovered an unfortunate glitch where the track markers are concerned: it seems that sometimes a tiny, split-second piece of your track will inadvertently get attached to the track marker, resulting in a short burp of sound right before the actual track begins. This would be bad enough to be a show-stopper, except that it's easily corrected: if you have a burping track marker, delete it and create a brand new track marker (with no associated burp) in exactly the same spot."
"V6 is near perfect for my use of convertsions CD, WMA, MP3, and label creation."
"After reading all the horrible reviews I was very sceptical and sought advice from my computer 'gurus' who weren't much of any help but I still went ahead and bought it."
"Useful, but your OS should have everything that you need these days."
"It will not recognise drives on my system so I emailed Roxio with my situation (quickly as the free tech support is only free for a very short period). In the mean time my dell got hit by lightning and I installed it on my new 2.8 W/ gig of ram."
"I've used every version of Roxio's CD software - back to when it was from Adaptec and I really liked every version - until this one."
"After installing Roxio 6, I experienced so many problems with my installed software that I had no choice but to abandon the Roxio 6."
