Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter [Mac Disc]

This product is very easy to use. The directions on installing the software are clear and easy to follow. The cable hooked up to a USB port and then to the VCR with a standard RCA cable, which came with the VCR. I copied a home VHS tape on the first try and converted it a DVD using iMovie and iDVD. I really like this product, and have many more home VHS movies to convert. I would recommend buying a 1 TB or 2 TB external drive to store the files before burning,and for possible future storage of these files.

Works perfectly on macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 For moving VCR Tapes to computer. I couldnt figure out how to burn DVDs but I put them in iMovie and did major edits and then posted online to share. When I get time Ill try to make sense of the DVD Burn part.

This was very difficult for me to understand how to use. May just be my level of knowledge on the product use all in itself.

I purchased this product to convert my home videos from VHS to DVD to preserve family memories. The Mac version works really great. Setup was simple. Install the software and plug a VCR into the adapter. Start the software, continue through the sound and video connection screens, hit play on your VCR, and click on record when youre ready to start the conversion. Most of my home video was recorded in EPP so I could fit up to 6 hours on a tape. The longest I have converted so far is 2 1/2 hours into a single file which used just over 75 Gb. I then use iMovie to edit and iDvd to produce the DVD. Time consuming but simple.

The directions are not that great at all. Should give it only 3 starts for directions.

Bought it for my iMac to get video off my old VCR with only composite (red, white, yellow) outputs. The capture device worked OK once, but my 16:9 VHS video came through as 4:3 aspect ratios. Everyone look very thin. The software was very limited with no adjustments despite trying to get help from Roxio Tech Support. Next time I used it, the capture device was not recognized by the software so both were useless. I contacted Tech Support for a replacement or refund. VERY SLOWLY they would email ideas over the last two weeks that I had already tried. So far they have not replaced the unit or refunded anything - just more redundant questions. It seems they are just stalling to wear me out. HOWEVER, THERE IS A GREAT SOLUTION. I got a cheap Composite-to-HDMI converter and a cheap HDMI-to-USB capture device (together both cost about 2/3 the Roxio cost), and I used the free Mac QuickTime Player software (you can record using it). That worked perfectly! Do not buy the Roxio device and software for a Mac.

I liked the product. it did as expected, but here was a problem synchronizing audio & video. I had to record on a medium quality setting rather than high to solve the problem. Dont expect the results from VHF tape to look good on a HD TV, unless you use a movie setting & adjust the TVs video quality down by using a sharpness adjustment.

Does everything its advertised to do. Lets me easily convert my old HI-8 tapes to digital format. After conversion (only extra-step) I can edit in iMovie and chunk the 2 hour plus tapes into meaningful episodes. Have 40 hrs converted with another 60hrs (est) to go. Well worth the price. All you need is time to convert and edit.

Headline says it all. Easy to setup and use with Mojave 10.10.5. Saves to .mov format. Decent quality, considering the source technology. Dont buy the Roxio VHS to DVD for video capture if you intend to use with Catalina, at least at this point in time (May 20).

I have about thirty VHS tapes Im looking to convert to a digital format. Im using a Mac with about a terabyte of free space and a 2.8Ghz processor. Plenty of power and resources to capture some old video from VHS tapes. I would have thought, anyway. Immediately after setup, I noticed that my first capture had visible signs of compression (the little squares you see when you watch a really low-quality video online, for instance). There are three options for quality: low, medium and high. Thats it! No ability to adjust compression or audio quality, just three settings, and the highest one still shows incredibly noticeable compression. As if thats not bad enough, the Roxio software cant keep up with the video and drops frames constantly. I tried lowering the quality setting to medium, as a user on a forum suggested the high setting is completely useless and should be considered a product defect. I downloaded an update for the capture software and restarted my system, hoping this would take care of the problem. I did a 38-second test recording and my Mac is still idling as Roxio completely fails to process it. Its still idling right now, as I write this. I would be ashamed to have my companys name attached to this product!
