ClearClick VHS To DVD Wizard with USB Video Grabber & Free USA Tech Support

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Literately the easiest video convertor I’ve ever used. Simple & just works

My dad passed away Dec 6 , 2020 and he always used a camcorder and has so many videos he did and I got to hear his voice along with my moms for she passed Aug, 2010 it is the best thing ever made just to have them with me and my grandchildren to see there great grandparents and the things the family has done.

Software was not very easy to follow and the brief explanation of function was not always accurate. Ended up emailing Tech Support, who gave me all the help they could until it was decided they would steer me to another product that was more professional and easier to use. After that, everything fell into place and I had it working fine. I would not buy this product unless it was vastly upgraded. Tech Support was outstanding!

OK, I never write a review on anything I buy online except to help or save others money and time. This product has numerous faults. I am not a tech savvy person but I am not stupid either. 1. The description needs to be clear that an additional (not supplied) cable is definitely needed to connect the VHS player to the video capture device. Reading previous reviews/descriptions, this was not explained enough. 2. If your computer does not have internal speakers, or you rely on headphones alone for audio, you will not have audio on your DVDs. 3. It needs to be clear that this is a two step process. You capture the VHS video to your computer first, then insert the DVD disc for downloading. It is not automatically captured to the disc as the VHS tape is playing. 3. On-line support is not immediately ready for assistance. Expect AT LEAST 24 hours or more for support. On the positive side it is not that expensive but the return policy is poor considering this was purchased for downloading tapes for Christmas gifts, and unfortunately the period for refunds expired prior to trying it out. Very disappointed.

Need to figure out the different types of recording videos to Dvd and recording camera recordings. There are different recording choices. Finalizing DVD recordings take a while. I went to play back on my dvd player and it didnt come out clear, like a lot of static and then it just stopped. Have to play with it more. If you see your video with a lot of static in preview, it will turn out that way. Not the way I like to view, so back to practice with the different selections.

Very good produy

It took several hours to properly install the VHS2DVD Wizard software and drivers, as the default settings were pointing to my webcam. The capture device only worked on USB 2.0 ports, not USB 3.0 (possibly being a bottleneck). The software requires the installation CD to always be in the CD-ROM even after installation. While functional, the video capture was very choppy with distorted audio. Also, after recording a full 2-hour VHS tape, the software froze and crashed, losing the last 7 minutes. I got slightly better video and audio sync using another software package with the capture device. Possibly it is limited by my 8-year old CPU, but web video and DVD play flawlessly. Playing the VCR directly onto my TV, I did not see these analog distortions. Hopefully buying the standalone SD recording unit will eliminate the buffering, although they all have mixed reviews.

This product works great! Out of the box I read the easy instructions and was able to transfer videos effortlessly. So far I have transferred about twenty VHS tapes to digital files. There are some color changes and color bleeding but this may be due to the 30+ year old video tapes or maybe the VCR that I am using. Are they the quality of new digital movies? Absolutely not. But the movies are viewable and I have saved quite a bit of money doing it myself and not sending the tapes out to be converted.

For many a year, I had a bunch of old videotapes with family filmings on them. They have been hanging around for a good decade - I started down the digital transformation path with a combination VCR/DVD recorder machine that had an internal hard drive in it. You would record the VCR tape to the hard drive, use the remote control to break apart the video into meaningful scenes, type out the menu (which was a horrendously tedious process!) and then burn the DVD. The hard drive gave out before I could finish and, long story short, I wound up looking for another method to finish the job. This product was the second tool I purchased for this - the first was junk and did not even work (dont go for the less expensive versions of this type of product. You will eventually wind up buying this one!) I had 20 videotapes left to go through, and got them in over the span of a week. You have to use the included software here - I tried using OBS, an open source video capture software package, but it did not recognize the device. So I was stuck with the one they gave. The software is not horrible; it did crash a couple of times, it had a few mis-starts where it was supposedly recording but did not capture anything, and it was difficult to keep the preview framed in the viewing box (they have some miscalculations in their viewing box algorithm - I finally figured out that if I moved the whole application window to the top left corner of my screen, I could see what was going on.) The software outputs an MPEG stream. If you plan to put this on to a DVD and have menus for scenes, etc. you will need to get some more software. There are plenty of open source packages out there to do this - Google is your friend here. Note that I did this on a Windows 10 box with plenty of hard drive space (a 2-hour videotape will take up about 4 GB of space on the hard drive), a fairly decent video card, a modern-ish cpu, and plenty of RAM (the software takes up some memory to do the digitalization of the video.)

The customer service was great. Unfortunately device didnt work for me. A black screen would flash at different times while capturing. Video would also skip and the audio would fall out of sync for the rest of the capture. It was really easy to use and install. Too bad It didnt work as I hoped.
