VHS To Digital DVD Converter, USB2.0 Audio/video Capture Grabber Adapter Device,Transfer VCR TV Hi8 Game S video to DVD,Support Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP

I couldn't believe that this included "everything I need" for the price, but it does: Dongle which converts "White, Red, Yellow" signals - to USB, in addition to an excellent software package which makes it easy to capture video - and then to *edit* that video: yes, this product includes a good video editor. Once I got out an old VHS tape player, hooked up the wires (OK. I had to have my own "Yellow, White, Red" wires - to come out of the VHS player - then connect to the dongle included in this product), connected the USB to my computer, and fired up the capture / editing software, I was able to start saving off all of the old family videos on VHS. Now they're in digital and I can burn them to DVD or just save them as a digital file anywhere. All of that said, there were a couple of start-up things that I had to learn. The instructions say to carefully download a driver. In my case, I'm running Windows 10 - and Windows 10 already had the driver (or automatically downloaded it), point being that I was able to totally skip that step. Next thing was that the video editor has a feature to "start / stop including this video" - as part of a "multi-cut edit". It's a great feature: after capturing, I can just watch the video on my computer, and click to start excluding - then click again to start including - on and on - until I'm done and I click the "go ahead and edit it all down" button - and it just clips out all of the stuff I wanted to throw away. It's great. My problem was that it was counter-intuitive to me: I kept clicking to "clip this out" but that meant "keep this" and vice versa. Once I understood which way the software worked, it works great. The only other problems I've had - have to do with getting the correct kind of DVD blanks for my computer's DVD burner, but that has nothing to do with this package or its software. Bottom line: Nobody knows just how long our VHS tapes will last. They're just magnetic dots on tape. They will slowly demagnetize over time. Don't lose your priceless, unique family videos: instead, buy this system and get them into digital, shareable form. One final remark: Remember that you're taking this video from VHS tape. VHS tape has a kind of grainy resolution that is no fault of this product. If you doubt, then hook your VHS player up to a TV and be reminded of just how BAD our video was - before HD and UHD, and 4K and 8K and..... point being "don't blame this product for VHS-quality video. That's the best that can be done - unless you get some kind of separate video-enhancement software which up-converts". That may exist, but don't expect this very-amazingly-priced product to do that.

Let me start out by saying that I installed and used this product on a Windows 7 computer. After reading the reviews, I think that most of the people who were experiencing problems with this device were running Windows 10. This is older technology, and I think it runs natively on Windows 7. I had no issues what so ever installing the software on my computer. Worked flawlessly out of the box. You will need to supply your own composite or S-Video cord from your VCR to this device. Fortunately, I have several laying around. Captured video quality is what you would expect from a VHS tape, not great but watchable. The bundled video editing software is pretty basic, but better than nothing. I have a better video editing program from another company that I will use. I have a DVD burning program as well. But this will get you going. Overall, a decent product for $19.99

The unit is super easy to hook up. Plug in the matching cables to your VCR player and go. EXCEPT it must be plugged into a USB-2 port on your computer. If you use a USB-3 port the resulting recording will skip and jump. If you have a newer computer that does NOT have an available USB-2 this converter will NOT work for you.The Arc-Soft recording software that you download to use with this converter is okay. But the instructions are absolute garbage. Plan on having to throw away a couple bad disc copies because it'll take some trial and error to figure out how to make it work.So, after a very steep learning curve, I've copied about 40 old VCR tapes and am happy with the results. But I did have to throw away 3 that didn't copy correctly.

It seemed to install with ease then I tried to use it, complete failure. The software wouldn't work because the drivers were not installed. After several attempts to get the drivers loaded I finally gave up. Then I tried to uninstall the software and all I get is "Installation support file could not be installed Catastrophic Failure" so now I'm stuck with a piece of garbage software on my PC. I sent it back and got a refund.

I had a journey when installing the software on Windows 10. Some missing drivers. The package comes with a DVD but as I don't have a DVD drive on my PC, I asked from the support to download the software from the internet. This was not an easy journey either,but eventually everything was sorted out. Now it is working well (although, sometime it get stuck and need to be resatred)

Update: I changed my rating to a 5! I was getting a black screen when trying to view the video and found a patch on the ezcap grabber video drive and don't get the black screen anymore and works well!Original post: Buyer beware. Tech support does not answer.I rated this low because yes, I was able to convert 2 home videos easily with the software, but when I went to transfer a third video, the software was no longer showing the video so I couldn’t tell what parts I wanted to capture to convert. I reached out to the tech support email address provided in the package and never heard back. The product didn’t come with any troubleshooting solutions to help with the software. Now I need to search for a new software and hope the hardware works with it.

It arrived today and I say the box and the item itself Is the best and I’m enjoying it right now I didn’t know what to do at first but I played around with it for a while and I didn’t Follow the instructions but I did it all myself it up on my computer it was easy from there it was like I was recording a game from an actual capture card but I was recording a VHS and it was pretty cool to put on DVD now I can copy my VHS tapes from long time ago to a DVD that’s amazing I enjoy this product you guys should get if you want to put your VHS tapes to DVD I recommend it this is the best method just put on your computer capture what you want on the DVD and you’re done it’s like a video editor but with a VHS tape love it 5 stars if you want something that will do good get this
