VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

I have been pleased with this product. I had no issues connecting or installing the software to my computer. I have been able to edit my videos and add titles. I am far from being tech savy and found this to be easy to grasp. The process does take time, but for the cost I have converted over 20 vhs tapes to dvd. The quality of the new dvd has met my expectations and is fine for what I want. It sure beat $20 a tape to send them away.

Easy to install. It allows us to take family VHS tapes and convert them to .wmv files on our Windows PC. You can create DVDs but I have not done this yet, as I want to edit the .wmv files for content (45 minutes of a football game needs to be shortened to about 10 minutes!) MUCH cheaper than taking them to commercial converters! My feeling is that DVDs will age out over time and as long as I have the .wmv I can edit them with PC software over time.

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 product works exactly as described and does a great job of capturing and copying VHS to a digital format. I recommend this over many others simply because of the ability to create MPEG4 format as most other converters will not do this. The software included is very easy to navigate and understand. This product would work great for an inexperienced or experienced operator. I have it installed on a Win 10 machine and it works very well.

I followed the directions step by step and had a problem at first. I called their tech support line, and they were quite helpful. I think the only issue with this product for me is I do wish there was a faster way to record the VHS as opposed to real time. Ive only messed around with this for about an hour, and it does what its intended. I will try to call the tech support to see if there is a faster way to record.

I had a Diamond video capture device and VHS to DVD 3.0 that served me well for MANY years. Only recently did the Diamond stop working. I started looking for the replacement. Since I have been happy with the VHS to DVD product, this item caught my attention. I can tell you that the hardware that ships with it was quickly set up and is recognized by the system with no issues. The new version of VHS to DVD is a bit dumbed down, but it still does a great job of capturing off my DVR, VHS and other sources I have tried. I recommend it as a replacement for any old hardware / software you have for video capture.

This is an awesome product. My only dilemma is that I cannot transfer all of my VHS tapes because the kind that I have requires an adapter and no company makes an adapter for 8 mm tapes. This situation is not with the Honestech product, it is with those manufacture who make a product and do not make the accompanying product to transfer HOORAY FOR THIS PRODUCT. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. THIS IS HOW SATISFIED I AM WITH IT. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRODUCT. NOW IF YOU CAN ONLY MAKE A PRODUCT THAT I CAN USE TO TRANSFER MY 8 MM TAPES TO DVD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. BE THE FIRST TO DO SO!

I was able to successfully preserve old tapes of my childhood thanks to this product. The software (while visually outdated) ran well on Windows 10. I ended up running the captured content through Sony Vegas to compress the file size and fix some small sound issues (mono sound only coming through one speaker). This was not a quick project and I didnt expect it to be since I had well over 20 hours of tape to go through. But it is 100% worth it. Act now people. Remember, tapes will degrade over time but video files wont.

Im very happy with this software. Installation was quick and easy. I opted NOT to install the QuickTime portion of the software, which shouldnt be an issue, as I plan on using the Easy Wizard mode only. So far Ive transferred two VHS tapes to DVD, and both look very good. Typically VHS film quality, mind you. But thats to be expected when your source is VHS. The transfers to DVD are perfectly watchable. The only issue I saw was a small wavy line appearing at the very top of the frame(s). However, this doesnt detract from enjoying the DVD transfer, in my opinion. (Im not sure if this is a VCR tracking issue or something that normally occurs during the VHS to DVD transfer). My VCR only has one Audio OUT jack. So this results in the audio being heard in one channel only, IF listening to the DVD with headphones. However, this should be rectified by using a 2-Female to 1-Male RCA Y-adapter connection (costs around $5 to $10). The sound will still be mono but at least it will be heard through both the left and right channels (when listening with headphones). All in all, I am extremely pleased I chose this product for my VHS transfers. (My operating system is Windows 8.1 with a 2.0 GHz 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.
