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

Very good product. I am loading all the Super 8 recordings taken years ago with my now old analog camcorder. The quality of both, image and sound is excellent. I have just a little problem. Files of converted videos are in MPG format that is no compatible with Macs iMovie. The software Easy VHS to DVD Capture that comes with the product, convert automatically the files to be read for iMovie, but this operation make a duplicate of every video with different format occupying a lot of space in the hard drive.

Thought a Roxio product would actually work but was sadly mistaken. The interface was easy and actually worked pulling in a video from my VHS player. That is as far as my positive comments can go. The software that came with this was worthless. You press record and it appears to be recording, but after you are done you would expect a button saying finish recording (or save, or something along that line) but there isnt and the recording does not save anywhere on your hard drive. I went to the Roxio site and there is no support for the product at all. The software only showed an update for older software than what came with the product. I thought maybe it would help so I downloaded the only software they had on the Roxio site and it was worse than the original. With no ability to save the recording, it will not be in my possession for very long. I am sending it back. I have looked into the Elgato Video Capture option. I hope it works better than this POC!

Purchased this after reading a ton of reviews. Bought it just before the Christmas holidays, to make it one of the projects for the holiday. Installed it on my MacBook Pro running Catalina to find that the most important piece Roxio Video Capture doesnt run on Catalina. Opened a support ticket on December 14th, and never a response from Corel Customer Support besides the automated message telling me I opened a support ticket. Luckily have an old 17 MacBook Pro, running High Sierra. Roxio Video Capture upon start told me I needed to update. It worked without updates, but ran the update software within the application and it downloaded a 300MB+ update, restarted and everything has been working. It looks like this software will become useless in the not so distant future. I got lucky by having an older Mac to run it on. I of course am in the later stages of getting my kids videos off of VHS and into a digital format so the need to do this by others is rare I suspect. Update - Finally got a response from Corel Customer Support with Actually it is an ongoing issue, Our engineers are working on it. If we receive any updates on this we will definitely let you know. Update - of 26 tapes I converted, 11 of them have sound dropping out somewhere in the recording. As soon as it drops out it never returns. So now rerunning 11 tapes through the process with fingers crossed it doesnt happen the second time around. Was all excited until we got 30+ minutes into a 2 hour video of my oldest and the sound disappeared. Changing my star rating from 4 to 2 because of this. Update January 2, 2020 - received an email from Customer Support with a download link for version 4. Downloaded and installed on my MacBook Pro running Catalina, everything started up without issues, did a quick capture of a VHS tape and everything was good on this first attempt. I dont have anymore to convert, though I suspect we will find a few in the future or help others. Boosting Rating to 3 stars at this time. If I find more to do and everything works 100% on those we will have 4 stars, will never reach 5 at this point though.

This VHS converter to digital assembly does the job using the RCA plugs, I could not get the S-video connector to work.

Product is as expected, it did take an update when I plugged it in and then it started working. Before that it was not wanting to work. Love the fact that I can capture the movies now and use them in iMovie!

Contrary to other reviews, this product does work with Mac OSX 10.6. The version I installed from the CD worked, without any updating necessary. The software is easy to use, and the files created will open in iMovie 11 no problem as long as you import them into your library. If you dont import them, the clips are .MOV files and will live in a folder the program creates. You can view them in Quicktime or burn them without further editing using iDVD. I recommend this software bundle. Its a great value for the money and has virtually no learning curve. Anyone can use it.

Roxio does it again. I tried many, MANY approaches to convert VHS analog video to digital and burn to a dvd. Went through a good deal of crap [sorry, but yes] and frustration and Im a decent hacker. Part of the problem here is Apple. They simply walked away from support of any PPC [the older Motorola] chip in favor of Intel. If you can get access to an Intel machine running OS X 10.6 or better, this will work. Install the application on the enclosed DVD onto said machine, connect 2 plugs, cue up the tape and GO. 40 minutes later, you will have a 40-minute digital video file on the HD. Burn it, copy it, edit it, whatever. I ended up putting it on a 4GB flash drive. Please note: THIS WILL NOT WORK ON A POWERBOOK G4 OR IMAC G5, REGARDLESS OF THEIR OS X. IT JUST WONT.

ABSOLUTELY do NOT buy this product. I first verified that my OS and hardware met the specified requirements. Bought product, installed software, made hardware connection, and tried copy to Mac. Did not work, screen did not resemble documents. Contacted support according website 5 times in next 5 days. The online support telephone number an chat is operated by sales an they just take message an pass to tech support. Tech is supposed to contact you by phone or email within 24 hrs. (There is no chat or phone for tech support). After 5 tries in five days with no response I gave up. Tried final option, email directly to Support. This requires registering software which requires creating an account. Created account but since default Web site takes you to Corel, must jump to Roxio site. Now here again, in order to register you create Roxio account. Tried to create this account but error message says account already exists for Corel. Another catch 22 circular SNAFU that keeps you out. Returned product will never recommend another Corel product.

Product worked great. Transferred videos from VHF tape player, Sony 8 mm Camcorder and from Direct TV using the two audio and single video cables to my Mac computer. (Must supply your own cables) Used the included software to edit the videos removing un-wanted sections. You can set the length of recording time to auto stop at 60, 90, 120 or 180 min or just stop while watching. Once on the computer, I used Burn as the software tool to down load to a DVD playable on any DVD player.

Not sure if it is this device or my old VHS recorder, but when there is a glitch in the VHS tape the rest of the conversion is not synced (audio and video is off). Other than that...I have been able to recover ALL my old VHS and 8mm anolog tapes and convert them to digital.
