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

Ive used several different video transfer systems over the decades. This system is very easy to transfer videos to the computer. As fare as transferring them to DVD, I have not tried that yet.

My version came with a DVD, so I didnt have to download the 750+ MB program. Some low rating users had installation and crashing problems, but I had none. Worked as advertised. Handling projects is a little clumsy, but pretty simple once youve figured it out. Editor is almost useless. There are three Enhancements - denoise, stabilize shaky video, and color collection. Denoise and Color seem to work ok. Stabilize video crashed the project when you try to output it??? But there plenty of free video editors out there (Video Editor that comes with with Windows 10 - MovieMaker is OBE - dont use it.) Output choices limited to MEPG2, h.264 (MPEG4) and WMV. The latter gave the best file output result. I was looking for preservation, not HD, so thats ok. Havent used the DVD output option, but have a video editor to do editing and create output, so probably wont use Roxio for that.

The product did transfer our VHS tapes from the player, Hi8 8mm tapes from the recorder, and 60DV tapes from player. Very slow, takes three times to save compared to length of video. Had some color issues even using the software enhancement features. The most frustrating part is no way to close the software when done using it. Have to ctrlaltdel, open task mgr, end task of Roxio software!!! Why? Yes, it works, but perhaps a more expensive option would have been better.

Easy to use this product. Bought this to digitize my home videos and works as it should.

In writing so called Customer Service at Corel/Roxio explaining that I was using the product but found the USB/Audio/Video adapter had a short in it and that I had to use the unit with it shifted to the far right to get it to work properly. I sent them my Amazon order information and received a you will hear from us within 24 hours which turned into weeks with a follow up and being told case was under review. Today I get this reply: (ACTUAL MESSAGE) Thank you for contacting Corel Customer Support Services. My name is Devi and I have been assigned to your ticket. I apologize for the delay in response. Let me go ahead and assist you with it. In regards to your query, Im sorry it is not possible to send a replacement for an adopter. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions. Regards, Devi Corel Customer Support Services ROXIO is a division of Corel and horrid Customer Support and there is NO SERVICE to their so called Support Service. The product when working properly is quite good for the money and conversions of other media is pretty simple ONCE you figure it out. Actual in depth instructions do not exist and even saving to a folder you create and tell it to use often dont happen and goes into a default folder. My product as stated has a short in the wiring which is not a common report and as stated, by adjusting the adapter to the right, works fine. I probably could have simply sent it back for exchange with Amazon/Dealer but once you start a project you dont want to set it aside waiting and though I had read some really bad reviews on Corel/ROXIO Customer Support, Having used their products years ago I thought them to be exaggerated in the negative ..... they werent. So over all, great little product IF you are semi tech savvy but a challenge if you are not. AND if you get a faulty unit dont waste your time contacting Corel/Roxio and calling the or contacting [email protected] or using their 1-877 number is a total waster. Yet, there is a yellow sticker on the box : Share your experience! Log into Amazon, go to orders, find your product, click on write a product review, enter your review, click submit One would think they would actually care what customers write and work at correcting product issues with verified buyers..... guess not.

I would give this 5 stars if the audio would not or could eliminate a clicking noise that I think is coming from the VCR or my audio card as I tried 4 VCRs and the clicking noise was still present - not sure what it is but after many start overs and the cheapest VCR I have the clicking noise was very faint.
