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

It worked. It is easy to use. I installed the software from Roxio site, rebooted and it worked fine. The app doesnt have many options but that was the least of my concerns. Audio and video quality matches what you would expect from digital 8 video, in my case. If you just want to watch the video on your screen then there are $10-$12 options out there. However, if you want to convert and digitize the video then this is a good option.

Havent used it yet, looks good

Software quirky but it does convert analog to digital satisfactorily

Although this software is easy to use, it crashes regularly. When the files are large, it takes hours to convert them to DVD if it works at all. There is an update patch to this software that I installed but it does not take care of the crashes and long delays. I am in the market for an alternative to this. I thought Roxio knew what they were doing. I was able to convert three tapes and do some captures so it sort of works, but I have 30-50 tapes to do and I dont trust this stuff.

I connected it to a windows laptop and it worked as stated. I do have a ton of experience in video though but the directions seemed to be straight forward.

After installing this program, it took six days of deep digging through the Amazon site customer reviews and a couple sites about connection cables to get enough information to have a working program. I can see the reasons for the very negative reviews, over the top frustration with the lack of resources to get it to work. Product information only suggests checking connections again and again or reinstalling. It is not surprising many customers give poor reviews and throw up their hands and return the product. What I found out in six days; I was able to actually create a disk of my VHS tape. I dont agree that it is easy, so far I can only save to my computer, other choices wont work, I am able to copy that save that file to the DVD. Possibly I will learn more about the supposed ways of saving the recording in the next few days? 1). requires male (RCA or S video) connection cables with same connections on both ends to join the Easy device to the VHS player. 2). requires DVD + R discs to record videos. (DVD-R will not record, are not recognized in a computer). 3). ensure that your security settings allow apps to access your camera and microphone. Toggle the switch on both to ON. (To find the security area: select the following: windows icon, settings gearwheel icon, security) OR in This PC, search window, type security, select security). 4). Product comes with an installation disc so going to site for installation is not required. The VHS to DVD user guide can be quite helpful for installing and creating WHEN you can see your tape actually playing in the program.

This is product is handy tool for all of my old DVDs

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.

I used this plus an old working VCR to convert a set of 4 VHS home movies my Dad made in the 80s. Rather than use the software on the CD included, I downloaded the latest version from Roxio (plus an update) and it worked well on my 9 year old Windows 10 machine (AMD FX 8120 3.1 Ghz CPU, 16gb ram, and 512GB SSD). Rather than let it run for the whole 2 hours, I sectioned my videos up in 20-30 minute segments to make it easier to manage. I was able to create video files to put on USB flash drives to hand out to family, as well as menu-driven DVDs (which I created using the built in Roxio MyDVD). The software feels a bit dated, but then again so are the source VHS tapes. Overall Im pretty happy to be able to archive these home movies using this affordable solution.

Used this to convert several VHS to dvd. The software has basic editing tools and is easy to use. Note this version of the software does not produce MP4 only dvd
