Saving VHS Tapes. Or Lost memories restored

My VHS tapes just sat in a big box not being used yet now having them transferred onto my computer they have come to life. It wasn't until I transferred them did I realize that the VHS tapes had been deteriorating and if I kept playing them the tape would probably break or lose the images. I can now watch them on my computer or put hem on a DVD.

We were able to transfer our old, previous, and priceless videos (Super 8s) to DVD. Love it! I highly refined this product.

I bought this to convert all of my 8mm and VHS tapes to digital. It works well and is easy to use. The only hitch was non-synchronized audio and video when I tried to use the "high quality" setting. However, "medium quality" captures the same quality video at a lower sound bit rate. Problem solved and I am satisfied. Apparently you need a blazing fast computer for high quality sound capture.

When I installed on my Mac, it told me it was not compatible with the current Mac OS 10.15 Catalina. I reached out to Roxio and within minutes someone was able to provide me an install link that was compatible. From there is was easy to continue with the install process.
I have recorded three family VHS tapes: two without a glitch and one ended up without the audio but that might have been human error. You do have to let the tape play all the way through to record, so it will take as long as your VHS tapes are.
Easy enough to use and I would recommend!

I was not sure what to expect, but this product is exactly what it is supposed to be. I am a new Mac user, so was so happy to be able to easily install the software--you'll need a cd player to do this. It records in real time, so if it's a 6 hour tape just let it run. Pausing during the recording process can allow you to skip some sections. You can create shorter recordings to break up long tapes also.

Bought it to transfer old family videos to digital format. Very easy to set up and easy to use on a Mac. Videos were readily available to save or to use in iMovie. Definitely recommend.

no issues with installation. Transferred several movies on the first day. The movies do initially store on your hard drive but easy to transfer. Easy to import into iMovie and edit your movies. Overall no issues. Because of this product my VCR, DVDs and old camcorder I have been taken out of storage. And a lot of home movies have been transferred to iTunes.

Setup and operation is simple and easy.
Software included is basic, could use a few more options, but it gets the job done.

I purchased this item to use with an old camcorder that uses hi8 tapes. Once you've plugged in via USB, and launched the software that came with the item, it works as promised. I only wish there could be a way to import directly via Final Cut X or iMovie. A minor inconvenience. Product is perfect and does not take up a lot of space unlike other converters.

So easy to transfer from VHS to computer! Simply plug and install software, and then hook up old var player and hit record. Couldn't be easier, and quality was exactly like on tape.

I purchased to transfer a VHS library to digital. It is smile to use, plug in cable it comes with to VCR and USB on computer. Tape appears on the screen and you can press Record/Stop. A nice feature is there is an auto-stop feature that you can set if going to work or bed. If you forget to stop it on time, you can trim it to the desired ending point before saving. The only downside is the file size. It goes about 1GB for every 10 minutes. I ran through Compressor to decrease the file size by almost 90 percent. It worked great but was very time consuming. Overall happy with the purchase and it got the job done.

I bought this after using a Tivo DVD recorder for about 10 years, which ended up breaking down a few weeks. I'm a sports nut and I burn many DVDs of memorable games of my favorite teams to keep and watch. I wanted to get something that was easy to use and after researching, I found it with Easy VHS to DVD. It was a quick set on my computer and after reading the instructions, I dubbed my first DVD. Basically connect the VCR to my Mac, press play on the VCR, hit record in the program, and come back when it finishes. The quality of the video on the DVD was much better than the ones I've burned from the Tivo recorder.
The only negative is the time it takes for the actual DVD burn, but I think that's more my computer than the actual program.

Used to transfer old VCR tapes of family events to digital on my MacBook Pro. Couldn't have been easier.
Hardest part was finding a VCR that still worked.

I picked up this product to go along w/ Roxio Toast 11 Titanium. Software installed, no issues. Hooked up my old VCR, no problems. Transferred a couple of old home videos, seamlessly. Overall, product works as advertised. Program is simple to use and easy to figure out. Haven't tried to hookup my old MiniDV for movie transfer, but I would assume that should work fine as well. This product should really come bundled or as an optional add-on to Toast.
