Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter | Amazon Exclusive 2 Bonus DVDs [Windows]

Updated - after trying some other products that worked intermittently, I discovered my USB ports were all bad intermittently. I had thrown away the Roxio, and gotten another one, but it stopped working, too. After I bought a new computer, I dug the original unit out of the garbage, tried it again, and it has been working flawlessly for several weeks. So now I have two. The other products were just awful. Their interfaces were difficult to understand, or navigate, the video and audio were out of sync, or the recording image window wouldn’t go full-screen, etc. The Roxio is by FAR the best unit out there. Trust me, I tried them all. Original post (please ignore) - My first one died after about 20 hrs of recording. I thought it was a fluke and that Id get another and use the same software. The second one lasted about 15 hrs.

I have a lot of old hard drives with data, photos, videos and apps. I needed a device that can easily attach to my old drives, video camera and vcr’s. This device works great for my purposes. I didn’t use the included app much because I have a separate bideo editing app.

Worked one time out of twenty seven. Ruined 26 dvds trying to get the rest done, customer service kept sending the same message I was not able to message back only way to get ahold of them was by phone transferred multiple times to get to tech pro then they would send me the same message that didn’t work. This went on for three weeks came to the best conclusion throw this device in the trash will try another way to transfer. If I could give less than one star I would. I used multiple computers and after the one that did transfer also had a computer expert try to no avail we uninstalled it reinstalled still wouldn’t do what it was supposed to do. Not a very happy customer I would never recommend this product to anyone

I wanted to convert some family movie VHS tapes. It does a great job. I would have given 5 stars if I could have chosen the file format I wanted to save in.

Purchased this product a while back to convert VHS tapes and other media to digital format. The program would export the video using the supplied hardware device, but when trying to create a DVD, it would not play on my DVD players. Tech support said the program was not creating NTSC formatted output, and to use MyDVD to create a DVD. That kinda worked. They fixed the NTSC issue a few months later, and it worked maybe once. So to create a DVD from the captured video content, I use a third-party program. I then tried to use the program to capture audio from cassettes or LPs. Again the program would capture the audio ok, but when I tried to burn a CD, it would crash the program. I worked with tech support for countless hours on different suggestions, but that proved fruitless. So again I used a third-party program to burn CDs. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT, UNLESS YOURE WILLING TO PUT UP WITHA LOT OF HEADACHES TRYING TO GET THE SOFTWARE TO WORK THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO WORK. OR BE ABLE TO WORKAROUND ITS FLAWS.

After trying another brand that didn’t work and no tech support after 1/2 a week tried this one. Connected to computer, downloaded software, fired up the VCR and success. True I have an extra step to import into Pinnacle, but this take minimum effort. Recommend this to all. One thing, I noticed they use the same tech support as the brand that didn’t work. Just saying.

Overall it seems to be recording well and everything seems to be working now. But fresh out of the box two big problems. The first is that youll soon see that you need your own cables to connect a VCR to the cables sold with this package. It would have cost them very little to have the appropriate cables in there but instead you need to order them. Nowadays few people will have those lying around already. The other big complaint is that I downloaded the software that they said onto my brand new PC computer with latest operating system. Then as soon as you try to run it it tells you thats out of date and you need to download a new one. And there are all sorts of security problems with downloading the new one and it first the old one doesnt want to run either until you redo your security settings. But after doing that and restarting my computer and ignoring the update it seems to be working okay. But for goodness sakes, I have no idea why they wouldnt have the latest software to download on their download page! And the security problems, you think they could figure that one out. But once you get through that its relatively easy to record whatever you want to play on your VCR

Love it

My experience with this product ended up being so negative it prompted me to write my first review after dozens of successful Amazon purchases. The issue isnt with Amazon or the seller, but the substandard nature of the product itself. To its credit, the product worked well enough for about four weeks, and I was able to successfully convert several VHS tapes. The interface is user-friendly bordering on simplistic. Unfortunately, there isnt much precision when it comes to trimming footage before the final version. The product ended up declining a couple of days ago despite having made no changes to my computer or setup. The software informed me that it was out of date, yet the link to the update did no good. It got to where it would take ten minutes for the program to start up before appearing to work. This time around, it wouldnt save the final product. After numerous rounds of deep uninstalling and reinstalling and uninstalling again, I tried installing it on a 2021 computer running Windows 10 to see if the issue had been the previous 2013 computer running Windows 8.1. It was even worse with the new computer and wouldnt install at all, saying only (and repeatedly) We encountered a problem while installing Roxio Easy VHS to DVD. Whether installing from the CD provided or directly from roxio .com / download, it was all useless. After six hours of trial-and-error among two stable computers, I gave up rather than contact support. Ultimately, there is no reason for anything to be wrong with this product; if it worked for four weeks, it should have continued working.

Easy to use and everyone is happy with the outcome
