> 3 dayI hated that right after I bought it it was $30 cheaper. It works well enough. I had some trouble with the cable, even bought another attay, which didnt work, had to pop it open, it somehow disconnected it from the pins inside, plugged it back in and it was good to go.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayMy 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.

> 3 dayThis is perfect, really simple instructions and it works very well right out of the box. the information in the reviews was very helpful. got our home videos converted to digital format. The s/w is not always perfect, after 3 hours of watching/ recording during the final step of digital file creation it can say that it failed to create the file, but if you just retry it works. So, its not bad at all. At the end of the day, got all of our cassettes converted to digital file in a hard disk.

Greater than one weekI was hesitant to buy this after reading the reviews. But I ended up purchasing it anyways. After some initial issues I was able to put my VHS home movies on my harddrive. After going to the Roxio website and downloading the software (per their recommendations), it was still missing “Critical Registry Keys” and would not run. The Roxio website wasn’t much help. So I installed the software disk that came in the box.Leaving the web download installed. After install it prompted me to update the software. I clicked the link and the software worked as it should. Software is pretty basic and easy to navigate. I would have liked to see more editing options, but it does what it says it will do. This software and hardware will get your videos to your computer but it is a “no frills” package. There is a trim option to clip out sections of video. This, for me anyway was tricky to accomplish. I had to be careful as to not trim/delete sections I wanted to keep.

> 3 dayI needed to transfer a few old VHS home videos to a more stable and accessible format. For whatever reason I was afraid that this would be a complicated and tricky process, but with this product the whole project took only a couple of hours. Easy to set up and simple to operate. Im sure there are additional features that could be useful for advanced projects, but this was exactly what I needed.

> 3 dayI was very hesitant after reading several Windows reviews on here but gave thus product a chance based on the fact that its a Corel/Roxio product. Im not disappointed. Im currently on tape number 4 of about two-dozen Video 8 tapes from my childhood in the 90s. I forewent the included installation CD and got the software directly from the website. After installation and an update, I was ready to rock and roll. The software is straightforward and offers basic help getting started. 5/5 stars from me.

> 3 dayI have been fighting with this since July 15th! When I first set it up I was able to convert 3 short videos before I got the blue screen of death and that was the end of it. No matter what I tried there was no way it would find the video. Trying to get in touch with Corel Roxio support is impossible! If you are lucky enough to get into the chat line and they dont disconnect you before you can tell them you need support they will tell you they are not support and just give you a ticket number and tell you someone will email you in 4 to 5 hours. I got 1 email after 4 chat requests asking me to send invoice, picture of the box..all sides, the paper work included, UPC code and the device, a screen shot of the error and a detailed description of the problem. Ive sent the email with all they asked for 4 times and still have not heard back from the support desk. There are drivers missing in the software that you will not be able to install to make this work so why they would tell everyone that this is Windows compatible I dont under stand. Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus is anything but easy and is a waste of money AND time. At one time Roxio made really great programs but since Corel bought its not worth wasting time on.

> 3 dayIt wont burn the DVDs. However, Im just glad that I got to save old home videos as digital files on my laptop. My only complaint is that the videos look more fuzzy and theres a pesky purple bar on the top of each video that has everyone looking like Thanos. It wasnt there before, but it doesnt bother me that much because it eventually fades away in longer videos.
