ClearClick VHS To DVD Wizard with USB Video Grabber & Free USA Tech Support

Reviewed a number of similar items with all having both very positive or very negative reviews. I choose this unit as the reviews said tech support was very good. I had issues getting started that were related to settings on my PC. I sent an email with the error messages to the email listed in the package and got an answer in 15 minutes with very clear directions. Once I followed the directions and was recording, I asked another question about which format was best to use to best quality of picture. I was answered within 5 minutes. Support is awesome and product works!

First off, this DOES work with Windows 10 - if you have the right software. I installed the software that ships with the device and even after an hour of trying every combination of selections I could, I was never able to capture anything other than sound. I then tried it with Pinnacle Studio 22, and that software didnt even recognize it as being plugged in. I finally tried my favorite standby - CyberLink PowerDirector (v16) and it worked perfectly the first time I tried it. In the week Ive had it Ive digitized 8 or 9 VHS tapes with very good results - keeping in mind a digitized 30 year old VHS tape is never going to look great by todays video standards. Of course once captured, a file can be imported into any video editing software that you choose.

Hardware is working. Documentation is barely adequate

The captured video is only as good as your VHS player. Hook up with S-video if you can. My oldest home videos look not so great, but they are almost 40 years old. The ones less then 10 years old turned out great.

The VHS2DVD Wizard has worked fine for me. Theres been a few glitches. I tried to use the option of going from VHS straight to DVD and that didnt work, but I wasnt using a newer, faster computer. It went through the whole tape and didnt tell me. I wasted time and a DVD. It took a few attempts to get it to load and work correctly, but I was able to load and get it working the second time. The video quality is slightly less, or it could be from old VHS tapes. On fast movements in the videos, for a split second, I see lines at the location of the movement. It will pull copyrighted materials and make them digital. I am backing up old production movies that will go bad over time on VHS, so that grandkids can watch the animated films.

I used this product to transfer 24 VHS family tapes to DVD. The hardware and software worked really well and I found the editing functionality to be very effective and easy to use. The quality of my DVDs seems to match the quality of my tape recordings; good sound and visuals. I did find that it worked best if I kept my file downloads to something less than 60 minutes as I ran into some editing issues when I exceeded 60 minutes (could be a limitation of my system and not this product). It also seemed to work best for me if I edited from the beginning of the file and worked to the end. I would definately buy this product again and will recommend it to others.

Very easy to use. I had one technical question and Tyler at Clearclick was very helpful and prompt with his response.

Video capture quality is very poor. Install of software is easy.

Due to a compatibility issue with my laptop, the USB Video grabber did not initially work for me. I contacted the support team via their email and I must say they were extremely responsive to my issue and were very timely in responding to any of my questions. It took a little over a day, but they eventually provided me with a solution that works great. I am now happily transferring 25 year old VCR tapes to digital.

Works as advertised to convert your old VHS tapes (you need a VHS player) to digital format. The problem is, the resolution cant be any better than the original used to record the material. By todays standards, HQ VHS sucks. Id still use it to save family recordings but Ive thrown away my James Bond movies stored on tape.
