Easy to use Suitable for accessories and accessories

Easy to use! Easy to set up! Took less than 10 minutes! I have some VHS tapes to convert. But it's a lot cheaper than taking it anywhere. You must allow video playback to be recorded all the time. So if a video is 2 hours long, it will be recorded for 2 hours. No fast forward. No problem!

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Compatibility

Not working: Accessories and consumables

This box seems easy to set up but I haven't been able to get it working since I bought it (both on MAC and PC). All I get is a blank screen and lots of noise, which is very disappointing. Since the cost of this is very high, it is surprising that the cables required for use are not included and you have to purchase them separately. In summary, you should avoid buying it because there is a serious risk that you will find that it is a waste of money.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Reliability

This hardware is designed to operate only with the included software. The included software is poorly designed. For the price of the device, I would expect film editing programs to be able to see this box the same as a camera. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case. I contacted support about this. To their credit, they responded to the email almost immediately. Unfortunately, they responded with a line that they don't support third-party software. My goal was to test this with the Super

This software is utter garbage on Windows.

This software is totally useless for Windows If you have a Mac, you probably wouldn't mind getting a Mac version of this product. If you have Windows I would definitely not use this product. On my Windows, I get feedback by listening to the video as it's being converted. When I connect the viewbox to the Mac and navigate to the same part of the video there is no feedback. Also, the audio is out of sync with the video in the Windows software, just like when it's playing back on the camera. Also,

  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Functionality

Great if it works

I followed all the instructions and it works really easy. I downloaded the software from the website instead of using the disc that came with it as many of the reviews recommended it. Easy setup to transfer your old tapes. As the title says. It's great when it works. The only problem is that I estimate it doesn't work 30 percent of the time. There is a shot and somewhere before the end the video hangs on the frame. Audio will continue to be recorded on your computer. I won't be installing the 2

  • Everything is great!

Works perfectly! - Video Converter

Vidbox converter and software work great. I have converted over twenty 8mm Hi-8 videocassettes. The quality is excellent and I haven't had a single problem. Installing software on my Macbook Pro is easy and convenient. No mistakes. Connecting the Vidbox hardware interface (the little white box) to the 8mm player and Macbook was easy. I am using an SVideo connection from a Hi8 player to transmit higher quality video. The average file size for a 120 minute 8mm tape is between 5 and 5.5 gigabytes.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Video Converter Nightmare

I bought a converter for PC and Mac but I had no luck with either. I installed it on my Windows 10 PC first. It seemed to work fine for the first Video8 tape, but problems soon arose. The preview window went blank and no troubleshooting was able to fix it. But it still worked even though I was blind to what was being recorded. Then the program refused to record all the videos. If I had left the recording to the end I would have shot a 2 hour video from a few seconds to a few minutes. My…

Pros
  • Accessories and Consumables
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Save your home videos!

Perfect. I mean it was just what I needed and so easy to use. I have had above-average experience with computers since about 1980. But I guarantee you won't have any problems no matter how good you are. So… a few things to keep in mind. As with any audio or video signal. Turn it on, turn it off if you know what I mean. You won't see 4K on your TV from a 30 year old VHS camcorder. You also can't stream VHS or laserdisc movies and get what I think is an acceptable end product. Maybe a videophile…

Pros
  • Video Converter
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
