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

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.

I am very happy I chose this brand of VHS to DVD converters. The instructions made it easy to install. I did have one issue so I contacted the seller and had an answer just a couple hours later. It was an easy fix. My issue was an access denied error message. By making sure both my webcam and microphone were available to apps, the issue was resolved. Tech support responded the same day, within just an hour or so of me sending in the support ticket with easy to follow instructions to resolve the problem. Would highly recommend for transferring family VHS tapes to DVD.

Obviously one must play the entire vhs tape to record. That works okay. The issue is the edit feature. One must select portions to “cut” from the recording, but only one at a time. And, before selecting that portion, you have to play the video to get the slider to become visible. Just thought it required must longer to get the job done.

This product works great! Out of the box I read the easy instructions and was able to transfer videos effortlessly. So far I have transferred about twenty VHS tapes to digital files. There are some color changes and color bleeding but this may be due to the 30+ year old video tapes or maybe the VCR that I am using. Are they the quality of new digital movies? Absolutely not. But the movies are viewable and I have saved quite a bit of money doing it myself and not sending the tapes out to be converted.

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.

Quality of product and ease of use are each in the 4-5 star range. Desirable feature that is lacking is that when product stops recording after a time period as predetermined by the user, there be an actual indication that the recording has stopped (so that customer can leave the recording alone and come back later without having to keep track by oneself of how much time has elapsed since recording started). More than balancing any minor drawbacks Is the superb customer service, which rates 6 stars for their promptness and helpfulness in responding to any difficulties arising with product usage. Correction and Addenda to my earlier review: No change in my ratings. The software DOES have a built-in timer, to the right of the STOP/RECORD toggle, so it is possible to know how far along you are in the recording. Video input signal parameters can be adjusted independently for Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Gamma. For better recording quality, source device should be a 4-head VHS (if available) rather than a 2-head VHS device. As noted by other reviewers., there is a few second delay between the audio and video capture. How important this is depends on what is being transferred. For a lecture, for example, it should not be of significance.

Liked the easyness of using it, better tham my old one.

Set it up to transfer VCR over to DVD as all my VCR tapes are at the end of their lifes. Set up is really easy, no issues but I could not get a good burn to DVD on my computer. Tried everything I could think of with no success. Finally reached out to tech support. Very quick replies and over the course of a couple of days we were able to get the unit to burn to my DVD. Needed a slower burn rate which makes no sense to me but it worked. Now the issue is the quality of the burn. There is rather noticeable decrease in clarity. I give high marks to their tech support, top notch. Just be aware that you might not - your mileage may vary compared to mine - get the clarity that you would expect with this unit.

Directions were easy to follow, product worked well and I was able to transfer many tapes to digital easy and smoothly. Great product for the price.

Install took three times, eventually I had to load the software down from their site. Worked well after that. Dont look for DVD quality from VHS tapes, especially older ones, its just not there. Its still a good way to save youy VHS tapes.
