VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

Except for a few loading issues on Windows 10 I would have given this a 5 star rating. One error message said that it could not load a file because it already existed (so what?) and I skipped that issue. A second issue involved the on-line registration which indicated that my machine was not connected to the internet which it was. These little set-up problems out of the way I tried to capture a video. No problem. It is really quite simple and the 30 odd page manual is a big improvement over the Dazzle one of 300 pages which is on its way back. Thank you Amazon. Dazzle is made by a company noted for video editing and did not separate themselves from that genre long enough to provide a no frills user friendly approach to transferring a vcr video onto a dvd or onto ones computer. Dazzle would do well to consider a quick start guide similar to the one everyone else uses. If one is interested in serious video editing it will probably require a dedicated program. For the simple conversion, this is the best one available.

Wonderful video bóx, its Powerful for different old devices, as vcr, camcorder, Betamax, turntable. Etc, and the software its great, and can récord from turntable too for music mp3 files. Was the best choice I did, the video editor its soné kind basic, but you can capture your video in Mpg format, export to Avi or MP4 and can handle with another video editor as Camtasia, or Sony Vega

The USB Box is great and works very well. The Video Editing SW works to edit video. The editing tools are very basic. Much time spent single stepping in frame, and second increments to get to the frame to cut. Makes DVDs that play on your computer, but does not make those that play in a video player. Some how apparently not included.

This software is so easy to use. I cant say it enough of how easy it is to save all my old vhs tapes to my computer. Some of the reviews made me have some doubts, but I can honestly say they were unfounded. I have a very basic, no frills, desktop computer and a vcr player, and the set up using the supplied software disc, and voila. Converting all my vhs tapes to my computer, using windows media player, I can burn them to dvd. It really is that simple. I havent used the advanced mode, but Im looking forward to trying it and also using the audio mode where I can convert all my cassettes to cd. Most of my videos are 25 plus years old and some have started to bleed color during playback so Im glad I finally got around to doing this. I couldnt be happier!

This works great. However sometime the device is not recognized and you have to unplug the USB and re-insert it only after the software tells you its not there. Then works great.

Awesome buy. I bought this in conjunction with a vhs converter and have been extremely pleased. The software is awesome and offers a lot of editing options, and is straightforward to use even for novices. Also, the product works well through constant usage without drop off in quality. Video quality depends on the input, but I just saved 20 years of home movies with this product. Cant ask for more than that.

I have had this product since 2018. I have used it on a number of devices over the years. Having bought a new laptop, I needed help with getting the product to work correctly on it. It seemed that no matter what I tried, it would not work. Then I emailed tech support at vidbox.company. They responded quickly and gave me numerous options to fix the connection issues. It all worked well, just have a minor tracking issue left, due to the new laptop using an AMD Athlon Gold processor. The issue is minor. I learned that this processor does not do well with high demand programs. This product, which does work quite well, works best with an Intel processor.

This product has worked perfectly for the purpose for which I purchased it, that being to transfer years and very many hours of vacation and family video tapes to DVD. The Easy Wizard Mode is the method I use as it is just that,...Easy! The device is easy to set up, instructions are easy to understand and easy to follow. Although the device has numerous other features, I have not had a need to utilize any of them at this time. Thus far I am very pleased with this product.

Ive purchased other VHS to DVD programs in the past and have had issues with the audio being out of sync with the video. Im happy to have finally found one that doesnt have that issue. The videos I recorded were a bit choppy (which is why Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5) but other than that Im very happy with VHStoDVD.

I knew going in that this product was likely to disappoint, but having read reviews for many of the other similar products, it seemed they all had their fair share of cons, so I took a chance. The bad: This software crashes. A lot. Without warning. For no perceivable reason. I tried updating the software, downloading new firmware, uninstalling/reinstalling, and nothing seems to work. While easy to use, the software does have some blind spots, most notable in the picture slideshow creator. That part of the software is basically unusable due to lack of option for sorting the photos and creating multiple separate slideshows for one DVD. The good: Even through the many crashes, I was able to eventually get my home movies onto the computer and create DVDs from them. I found that if I simply left the software alone and didnt touch the window at all during the download process, it would not freeze. It was annoying, and certainly not something I should have to do after paying $40+ for a product. I do not recommend this product. The ONLY reason I did not return it myself was because I was downloading home movies from VHS to create DVDs for a Christmas present, and I simply did not have the time to return it and look for a better product. Even on deep discount, this thing is broken and a real pain to work with. Its a travesty that something like this is released and continued to be sold. UPDATE: Three years later. Hi again. I just built a brand-spanking new computer with all the bells and whistles. I thought Id give this product another shot (seeing as how I had some more VHS tapes Id like to digitize) with the new rig. Certainly all those old problems were due to my lackluster budget computer, right? Wrong. The same freezing issues persist even now, with a AMD Ryzen 2700X CPU, 16 GB memory, new GPU, etc etc. I said not to buy this at $40+, and its apparently only gone up in price over the years to $75+. You do the math. There has to be a better option. 2021 Update: No idea why I keep thinking this junk is going to work. Its only gotten worse over the years. Now the video doesnt play in the screen on the computer either. Worst purchase Ive ever made.
