VIDBOX VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe

I had two copy programs and cords but neither worked. Though not flawless the product worked for me. Sometimes though everything was hooked up properly I had to restart my PC to have it recognize the connections.

Ive tried at least two other analog A/V to USB converters in the past and sent them back because either they didnt install correctly at all or produced very small, poor quality digital video copies. This device installed flawlessly on my Windows 10 desktop machine. I didnt use the included CD, but instead downloaded the latest drivers directly from Honestech. I followed the installation instructions exactly and allowed time for everything to install. I used the program so far to save an MPG file from an old VHS tape and to record a DVD using my PCs DVD burner. In both situations, everything was flawless. The mpg file was full-screen with quality equal to that of the VHS tape (old home movie). I havent played with some of the other features of the program, but so far Im pleased with this device and the software. It is serving the purpose for which I bought it.

Great VHS ripping, great editing options, great dvd burning tools. Reviews that reflect poor quality reflect the quality and condition that the VHS tapes and VHS players are in. I tried three VHS players from Goodwill stores and the third one played the best. TIP: shop Goodwill and look for DVD/VHS combo players. These are the most recently produced VHS players and worked the best for me.

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.

Starting at the Beginning and why I purchased. Wanting to transform my video tapes of family events and put them on CD. Also wanting to make CDs out of some tapes and LPs. I tried the cheap knock-offs for 11ish dollars...didnt work. Narrowed my choice to this and Roxio (I had used a previous version a few years ago). So I called Vidbox to insure this product would do what I wanted(I also wanted to see if customer service exists). I actually talked to a live human who I could understand. A HUGE PLUS. Did the same with Roxio and was directed to their online chat. The chat gave me a message about too busy and they will get back to me. A Day later they sent me a satisfaction survey....Dont bother. So Vidbox it is...easy install. Have Windows 7 64bit and installed perfectly. Didnt have to go hunting for drivers. Transferring From Camcorder...I use the advanced and this product is easy.. I followed the available help user guide and now have 7 DVDs. The look great. Had an old family recorded Christmas tape from decades ago that when played on tape seemed a little too high pitched. So easy to load onto Computer with this product,and easy to make CDs. Converted from WMA form to WAV then loaded into Audacity(free download) to edit the speed and now am happy.. Buy

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.

Ive been able to transfer from VHS to DVD fairly simply, but I havent figured out the advanced editing features yet. Im not tech savvy, so I may not be able to do any editing. The directions are pretty useless. But, the DVDs I made played back on my TV/Dvd player as hoped.

This package does a pretty good job of capturing VHS tape video for editing and creation of a DVD. The quality of the transfer depends on the quality of the VHS tape. The software is basic and easy to use, but includes most features that are necessary. I did not try to record audio only or create a slide show, so I cant speak to all aspects of the software. The hardware seems to be well built and the software works smoothly on my relatively old Windows 7 machine. In all, it is what I expected.

I have to say Im very disappointed in this software. I purchased and installed on a brand new computer with plenty of memory and a very fast processor. I hate how you have to click on the Text box several times before it will come up for editing. The instructions in the users manual are almost useless. (the users manual seems to be for a older version of the software). Adding chapters is impossible to figure out as there is no instructions in the manual that tell you how. I cant log into Facebook to upload a video. For some unknown reason, when I added multiple photos to a slideshow, it imported them upside down! The software crashes when you go to the next screen to burn the DVD. Im not a novice when it comes to working with software like this. Ive used similar software for years, but purchased this package for the small USB Video Capture Device, because Ive tons of family movies to transfer. Now Im looking for different software and mad that I spent my money on this and wasted so much time trying to figure out how it works!

Wow. I had postponed buying something like this for years because I really wasnt sure what I needed. After searching around on Amazon and leaving the site, still confused, a wonderful email (thank you, Amazon!) showed up in my inbox, recommending the honestech VHS to DVD 8.0 Deluxe (marketing automation at its best). Their packaging was so simple to understand. I knew immediately it was exactly what I needed. The price was much less than I thought I had to spend ($55). And I got Prime shipping. Set up took just a few minutes, and I started copying all my old VHS tapes (ah, the memories!). Im just thrilled to finally start tackling this project. The ONLY negative Ive come across, is that I have to be there when the VHS tape ends, or the software will eventually eject the DVD without recording on it. This limits when I can work on it. Very, very excited to have this product.
