Customer support was pretty unhelpful. It will take one day to receive it.

I could not get this product to work. I installed it on my macOS 10.13 Macbook Pro and it just didn't recognize the video capture device. After spending a lot of time with it, I found that it only works on macOS 10.5-10.8. It was not easy to find macOS 10.8 since it is such an old operating system. I finally got it and then spent a ton of time installing macOS on a MacBook Air. After installation, it is still not recognized. Customer support was pretty unhelpful. It took a day to answer each…

This product was a disappointment. The hardware is easy to use and video.

This product was disappointing. The hardware is easy to use and video capture generally works well. However, when the recording is paused and you want to fast forward the VHS to the next scene, the product somehow desyncs the next audio and video and the recording is useless. As I used it more and copied a wedding video, I noticed that the audio was always a bit off. It's okay for some videos, but it's not okay if the video speaks directly to someone. Also, the DVD editing and burning software…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Something different

Don't worry!: Computers and accessories

Thought the Roxio product would actually work but unfortunately I was wrong. The interface was simple and really worked, loading videos from my VHS player. That's all I can say about my positive reviews. The software that came with it was useless. You hit the record button and it looks like it's recording, but after you're done you expect a button that says 'Stop Recording' (or 'Save' or something) to appear, but there is not, and the recording is not stored anywhere on your hard drive. I went…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel

Digitize analog video at a fraction of what you would pay for it.

Some reviewers noted that Roxio has not updated this product to work with the latest versions of Mac OS. My old version stopped working with Mojave and after. I repurchased this model and can confirm that it works well with Mojave through Catalina. I haven't upgraded to Big Sur, but I suspect it will continue to work. Easy to use, the software is simple. If you have old videotapes that need to be converted to digital files (your tapes die a slow but certain death), this is an easy and…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Only available in black

Absolutely useless and broken product!

I have about thirty VHS tapes that I want to digitize. I'm using a Mac with about a terabyte of free disk space and a 2.8 GHz processor. Lots of power and resources to capture old videos from VHS tapes. Or so I thought. Immediately after the adjustment, I noticed that my first shot had visible signs of compression (like the little squares you see when you watch very low quality video online). There are three quality options: low, medium and high. That's all! There's no way to adjust compression

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • High price

Helped me a lot! I digitized all my old VHS-C tapes using Roxio Video Capture. I was able to transfer the video to the PhotoSpring digital photo frame. Videos from 30 years ago came out great. The software has a resize option so you can split the video into smaller files. It was perfect for my purpose of restoring old VHS tapes before they rot. I was excited to see these old videos of family, friends, and vacations. Now they can be seen on a digital picture frame at any time. I was also able to

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Doesn't work well

I had a Sony VHS to DVD player - it played all media and you could dub back and forth. I've copied hundreds of VHS tapes (both commercial and those I've recorded from TV and recorded from rented DVDs) to DVD. The process was a little difficult to follow at first but once you got the hang of it it was easy and the quality was great. After 12 years it stopped working and I wanted another one. Couldn't find anything but random models sold independently for an amazing amount of money. When I went…

Pros
  • Internal TV tuner and capture cards
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
