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

Lo uso para lo que es, para pasar videos análogos a digital.

It's a very user-friendly piece of software with simple step-by-step instructions for connecting the VCR to the computer via the device included. It should be expected that the videos will range from moderate to fairly low resolution when compared to a 4K or even 1080p screen. My own very small complaint is the menu screens on the DVDs are pretty limited, but that's miniscule. Great product!

It took me several attempts to get this to work but once it did start working, it was wonderful and I didn't have any problems. Most of my issues had to do with getting the program to open after downloading it. The first time I downloaded it, it was fine but the VCR I had was not working correctly. When I connected a new VCR and tried to open the program it would only flash the "Roxio" banner and go away. I downloaded and deleted the program 3 times before I was able to get it to open. Once it was open, it was very easy to use. I downloaded the user guide by googling "Roxio user guides" and locating the one for this product. I copied over 4 VHS tapes onto my laptop. All went very well from there.

I liked using it for files and Flashdrives...but the DVD aspect left a lot to be desired. regular DVD players cannot read them. even one of my computers could not read it. It apparently won't allow regular DVD-R it won't burn on them...when I tried to get tech support I could not get them. I called numerous times but just sat there on hold and no one answered. also the S-Video contector doesn't seem to fit on my campcorder...These things have not endured me to this product. would love to have tech support.

I previously owned a VHS to digital converter that I liked really well, but it only worked on my really old Dell desktop (circa 2003). But when the video card died in it, I tried to install it on my new laptop and it wouldn't work. Thus, I tried this product because I didn't want to waste a lot of money buying an entirely new kit with a VCR which I didn't need since it came with my last kit. Onto this product: PROS: 1) Simple install (pop the disc in and follow prompts, or go to their Web Site and download the software). Plug converter into your computer and (USING YOUR OWN RCA or S CABLE) plug into your camcorder or VCR. (I ended up buying a cable from Walmart for about $8.00 to make it work) 2) Fairly simple user interface: The screen is pretty self-explanatory. Large record button, and tabs across the top tell you which part you're on in the process. CONS: 1) It won't let you change the name of your video file once you have started recording. For several of my first attempts, I didn't see the place to put the name in until after I'd started, but it won't let you change it in the program. 2) Progream seems simple enough to use, however, it DOESN'T work properly! I successfully transferred 2 tapes then went to do the 3rd one. I have tried FOUR times now. It looks like it's recording then when it automatically stops at the end of the tape (good feature theoretically), the program gets forever stuck on the "finishing" step. I literally let it sit there for more than 2 hours to "finish" a 30 min video recording and it never did! I had to force a shutdown, which of course lost the video I'd recorded. Over and over again this happened. I am so fed up I'm ready to return it and buy another one! This is ridiculous and I never had problems with my old one! 3) Video quality is terrible. Again, using the VCR from my previous purchase, which includes the lovely old-school "tracking" buttons to try to get rid of those annoying lines across the tape, I have had ZERO success it making any tangible difference to the tape quality. And from my previous lovely four attempts on the same video (from 1999), I can tell you how incredibly INCONSISTENT the video quality is on the program! Some attempts were much clearer than others, and i had to keep rewinding to try to get to the start of the tape again and when it re-recorded, the lines would be across the entire thing all of a sudden (when they weren't there before) or the video would freeze, even though the tape was clearly still playing behind it! AND, it kept cutting out as though there is a short in the cord. The screen would just suddenly flash "no video feed detected" even though it was still playing. It was usually only for a second or two, but sometimes was as long as 10 seconds or longer. Ridiculous!! Both this product and the RCA cable I used, were BRAND NEW. I suppose there is a chance that the RCA cable from Walmart was defective, but I have no way of knowing that. 4) Claims to be able to export video files in MPEG, which is what I wanted since I will be sharing these home video files with family who own a variety of equipment to view them on, but that feature doesn't work either! (and my laptop is a year old, so it isn't that) It will only allow me to export a video file in WMV which makes it specific to windows users without a conversion program. So...overall, don't waste your money. Go the more expensive route and get the entire system with the included VCR rather than this piece of junk. If i even bother to try to keep using it, it's going to take me another 20 years to get the small box of tapes transferred to digital (if it ever works.)
