Title: This works Great ! Really is Easy user interface. I got all my 30-Yr-Old VHS-C Tapes Digitized ! Wow !
Review: This worked great for me ! I digitized all my old VHS-C tapes with Roxio Video Capture. I was able to transfer the videos to a PhotoSpring Digital Picture Frame. The 30 year old videos came out great. There is a sizing option on the software so you can break up the video into smaller files. This was perfect for my purpose - recovering old VHS tapes before they rot. I was thrilled to see these old videos of family, friends, vacations. Now they are on a digital photo frame to see anytime. I was also able to see them on my TV with the Apple TV box (the PhotoSpring frame resolution looks better than on TV). I was going to make a return to Roxio at first because it crashed. (They do accept returns.) But I persevered and found out it was my VHS player which was broken. I bought a used JVC HRS5912U VHS player for $65, s-video male to male cables $12 to hook it up, and a VHS cleaning kit $10 to clean the heads periodically while running these old tapes through it. I already had a VHS_C cassette adapter (had to replace corroded batteries & clean up, otherwise new is $20). You also need RCA male to male Stereo cable - I already had lots of them. This all worked fine. The VHS player doesn't have to be hooked up through the TV, I just cabled it to my computer with the player sitting under my MacBook - when you hit play on VHS Player, the display goes through the Roxio Video Capture program. The Roxio USB connector was a little loose so try not to jostle it. I tested recording quality difference between a Composite -vs- S-video hookup: Definitely use S-video if you have the option, composite is not bad though. It was all worth it - the cash and the effort. The results are priceless ! Can you imagine getting to recover video from so long ago ? Thanks Roxio !

Title: Doesn't Work Well
Review: I had a Sony VHS to DVD player-- would play either medium and you could dub back and forth. I copied hundreds of VHS tapes (both commercial and things I had taped from television and rented DVDs) to DVD. It was a bit complicated to follow the process at first but once you had it, it was easy and the quality was great. After 12 years it ceased to function, and I wanted another one. Couldn't be found other than random models sold independently for a staggering amount of money.When I went to a big box electronics store, the salesperson recommended this Roxio product and showed me home video she had copied and stored on her phone. Seemed like decent quality and so I bought it. Had to return it because even though I said multiple times I am a Mac user I got it home and it was for Windows. So I found the Mac version on Amazon for considerably less (about $40 savings).It was fairly simple to hook up and the instructions to begin taping are fairly simple, also. You will need a VCR, which I happened to have in a box in the closet.So far, so good. You start the VCR, (or a video camera, apparently, can also be used) which is connected with the actual Roxio device to the computer. I hit Play on the VCR and Record on the computer screen where the Roxio window was displayed.Again, so far so good.After one tape was completed I wanted to watch it to check if it had worked (I had been burned on another companies similar device to turn cassette tapes into computer files). It's a bit of a challenge to even find where the file gets stored on the computer. Once found I attempted to drag and drop to iMovies but that didn't work, nor did moving the Roxio icon to the dock. So I had to search to even locate it, and still don't know precisely where on the hard drive it has sent the file.But then , the bad news...The picture quality is faded (even in the small window where it displays on the computer, so no telling what will happen when played large on a TV screen) and, worse, the sound does not sync to the picture. It's like the scene in "Singing in the Rain" where the picture gets ahead of the soundtrack.I happened to be copying old episodes of TV variety shows, so both the speaking and the singing are off-kilter.I will call tech support for the company-- remains to be seen if that is even responsive. If not this will be returned.I don't know if there are other equivalent products-- this was the only brand I found-- but it is NOT recommended. Looks like I will be keeping my VCR and finding a place to store the old video tapes.

Title: It is so simple that one tries to make it difficult
Review: Originally I purchased a competing product, but it utterly failed, so I opted for a few dollars more to buy this Roxio video capture system. The instructions, while sparse, are quite clear. The software is installed in your Mac and after installation, one is greeted with the now familiar compatibility warning that it is 32 bit and will soon not work on your Mac. Not to worry, almost immediately a popup reveals an update which you should download and allow to install and relaunch. Once done, connect up your device to your Mac and to your VCR or Camcorder, open the window and follow the easy directions. WARNING!!! prepare to go have lunch as the tape MUST PLAY IN REAL TIME. So, if a tape is 2 hours, that is how long it will take. Once done, you will find the completed .mov file in your User folder under Movies with a Roxio Video Capture folder that contains the movie. After that you can edit the movie in iMovie or, if it is good enough and you don't need sound track or titles, just burn it to an appropriate disk (CD, DVD or dual layer DVD). While I am not the world's greatest lover of Roxio, this baby works as advertised. Glad I bought it as I have some videos shot 40 years ago that needed to be saved digitally. My wife is happy. "happy wives make happy husbands". (old proverb)

Review: I got this item to copy some family 8 mm videos that were previously transferred to VHS tapes. (yes, that old). Once I figured out a couple of issues to make it work with macOs 14.7, it was great and really easy to use. Roxio support is very helpful with this. I am not sure if it works with Sequoia, but it was fine with Sonoma, and all my data is transferred until we move to the next form of image data storage. Totally would recommend this to save VHS tape content before it is gone.

Title:
Review: I had used this product at my local library and decided to purchase it for my home us as I have quite a number of VHS's to make into DVD's. Once I received it however, I had nothing but problems with it. Setting it up was a bit challenging and then DVD players (multiple ones) wouldn't play the format. Customer service simply advised me to first go through the exact process that I had numerous times (which I did and ruined another DVD) and then uninstall and reinstall the program. When I did this, it updated the program which meant now I could no longer shorten the movies (like when I wouldn't stop the recording before the VHS would start to rewind and now there is this huge amount of blue at the end of some of my movies) and I can't import it to iMovie because, according to my latest interaction with customer service, "Please note that Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac is not compatible with El Capitan and may run issues while installed." Their suggestion was to install a third party program to convert my movie to then import to iMovie, to then export to Toast when I am ready to burn it onto DVD. And don't even get me started on Toast. You cannot burn these movies onto dvd without it but they didn't include it with my purchase (when the website clearly states that they do). All in all, this has been a horrible experience that I have now invested over $100 into.
