Review on Roxio Easy VHS DVD Plus by Roy Boone

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Video recording worked, however.

It took some time to download and install. I was able to record a video but thought the video quality would be better. My biggest problems were: 1. If you use the advanced program "MyDVD", the import takes 30 minutes or more. I went and did other things and came back when it was done. Then, when the program loads, you won't be able to see all the options until you minimize the screen window, since some of the "MyDVD" menus are located under the Windows taskbar. Once I was able to reduce the screen size, I was able to see all of the features. But it wasn't the worst. After working in the "MyDVD" software until I was ready to burn to DVD, the entire application just closed/disappeared from the screen without any errors. When I restarted the software backup "MyDVD" and opened the project, I had to do the same settings / rename components and as soon as I clicked "Burn to DVD" it was gone / gone. I even restarted the new project and waited for it to load again and never got my DVD burning "MyDVD" working. At some point I found out that you can burn DVDs with standard software (photos attached). I was able to successfully burn a DVD. After that I could never get it to burn again. He went through the whole process 99% and finally found that there was a problem with the DVD. Once this happens the disc becomes unusable because if you try to use the disc again it will show as unusable and a blank disc will be installed. I've spent so much time using this software over the past few days that I've given up. Loading VHS tapes to DVD. God forbid I will at least use the transfer of my home VHS tapes to a computer. Paying a professional company may not be cheaper, but it is definitely faster.

Pros
  • Internal TV tuner and capture cards
Cons
  • I'll write later
