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

Had a little trouble with the sound not coming through, every other tape. Had to keep rebooting to fix that problem, but we think it may have been associated with the cabling. My VCR does not have all 3 connectors (not stereo), so that may have caused some confusion in the connection. The process is a bit tedious for lots of tapes because it runs real-time. The most disappointing thing is that by reading the description on Amazon it leads you to believe you can burn DVDs with this software. You cannot. You have to take the converted copies it created and then process it from there using something else. In my case, I dont have iDVD or bundled DVD burner, so I have to find yet more software to do that because I want to view the movies on a standard DVD player for TV, not huddle around my Mac. On the plus side, for a reasonable cost I now have all 20 VHS home videos safely converted to digital and stored in my Mac. That was the biggest hurdle of all since having it done professionally would have cost far more.

The product was difficult to understand and install on my pc.9

When I had a 13” MacBook Pro with Intel Core-Duo processor my Roxio Easy VHS-DVD worked fine. Recently I tried to convert some home videos with my new 14”MacBook Pro with M1 Pro processor running OS 13 (Ventura). The capture program and the My DVD app loaded but the VHS to DVD application asked me to plug the hardware dongle into a USB 2 or higher USB port. My laptop only has USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports. I tried using a USB-A to USB-C adapter, but the program wouldn’t start. I tried the USB port on my OWC Thunderbolt dock and another USB-A hub but still no response from from the application except the dialog box saying “Plug in to USB”. I spent actual days chatting with multiple Roxio support techs and not getting any help other than the techs saying they would have to refer me a more senior technician. Some of these senior techs emailed me saying they were working on a fix. I tried to reply to these emails with a simple question; “Does the latest version of Easy VHS to DVD work on Apple M1 computers ?“ This question relates to Roxio’s web page stating in the specs for ‘Easy VHS to DVD for Mac’ that it worked with Intel and Apple M1 Macs and OS Ventura. I was greeted by an auto response stating that the mailbox does not support replies. Given that Roxio support was hopeless, I decided to put my faith in the truthfulness of the stated specs on Roxio’s product web page with an green “Buy” button that takes you directly to Amazon where I purchased it. When the converter arrived 2 days later it looked suspiciously like the version I already owned that worked on my Intel Mac. After uninstalling the previous Roxio software and installing the new version just received, I’d give it a try. Well, the same problem occurred; the applications would load, but they would not recognize any of my USB ports. So, I gave up and returned the product to Amazon for a refund. I am now doing research to find out what analog-digital converters actually work with Macs running on Apple silicon. I don’t have answer yet. However, I would not recommend that you purchase the Roxio product for use with a Mac with Apple Silicon unless you want to waste lots of time dealing with Roxio’s dysfunctional customer support.

This worked great for me! I have a MacBook Pro and I am so happy I was able to save my home videos with this!

I had OLD VHS home movies I needed preserved it paid for itself. Although it is pricey there isnt much out there that is easy to use. I bought it for my parents to do there own conversion not very tech savvy so this saved me some time in having to do it myself and they had no problem using it.

This product does what it says. I had a little trouble getting the sound to work and record, but I called Roxio tech support and they helped me get it working within about 15 minutes. I have a MacBook Air with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

I was not sure what to expect from the reviews I read. I have the system requirement and version 1.0.3. My experience with this product was positive. It was easy to install. Each set-up step work first try. It imported easily into iMovie and I was able to use Toast to burn a DVD. I am sure there might be better (more expensive) programs for transferring VHS to the computer, however for the price it does the job it says it will. I transferred two hours of video, imported into iMovie, edited it down to 5 minutes with color and sound corrections, converted it to Quicktime, and uploaded the video to YouTube all on the first try.

Works perfectly on macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 For moving VCR Tapes to computer. I couldnt figure out how to burn DVDs but I put them in iMovie and did major edits and then posted online to share. When I get time Ill try to make sense of the DVD Burn part.

YAY!!! We can finally enjoy our favorite home movies easily again without having to dust off the VCR and pray it still works - ha! This software was quick and easy to install and use - didnt curse once! ;) Excellent product - why pay for a service when this is so easy? Update: taking it down to 4 stars - still a good product but I found that about once every 5 tapes or so the sound will cut out partway though and you have to redo. VCR head cleaner helps. I have to run one after about every other tape or I really have trouble.

Easy enough for a senior citizen to use. Works great!
