Review: Good stuff! - This is a pretty nice product. I used it on a Toshiba Satellite Core i3 laptop to produce flawless transfers - something I have not seen reliably from other products. A word of caution: the driver/software installation is kind of a pain in the neck. The registration key is printed in a font that is somewhat difficult to read. They even give you a reference to their website to translate that font into something more readable. It took me 4 attempts to activate the software, but it was worth it. If you purchase this, you might as well look up that link in the instructions and go look at it, because you'll probably need it. In fact, I would suggest you read the entire installation guide before getting started. I ran across a problem with audio distortion on the first try, but the correction was mentioned in the documentation. My laptop is running Windows 10 and Video-2-PC works fine with it. It is purportedly compatible back to XP, but I didn't try that. Their suggestion to use a PC less than 6 years old makes some sense, although the analog to digital transfer occurs in the "dongle" that goes between the video source and your PC. If your PC is too slow to keep up with the transfer rate (or other things are running that make it too slow to keep up), you'll probably drop frames or wind up with video and audio that are out of sync. I also have access to Windows 7 and Windows 8.0, but I didn't try them either. I found a convenient, working solution and left it at that. I can say that the information they provided in the included documentation is accurate and the advertising seems to be truthful. If you're looking for such a solution and your equipment is match for what they state as requirements, you should come out just fine.
Review: An inexpensive digitizer that works with Windows 10! - Well after literally searching desertcart for any product that would let me digitize old VHS tapes AND work with windows 10, I settled on this product. Its publisher says yes it works on Windows 10, and it does. Many of the products available are old, with drivers written for older versions of Windows, and more importantly don't work in Windows 10. My system runs Windows 10 64-bit with 32 Gigs of RAM, and this video-2-PC digitizer product works extremely well on it. You WILL have trouble entering the serial number into the Arcsoft software, as the font used to print the serial number is, to be nice, less than helpful. After a solid 5 minutes of trying I noticed that the "U" in the printed serial number was a single pixel from looking like a "V", so not having much to lose I tried "V", and it worked. The serial is printed on the back of the install DVD's sleeve. It came with an unmarked DVD, just like what you'd use on your own pc. Pop it into your drive and a menu pops up. Regardless of your skill level the video they have is very helpful, as it goes into both the installation process and how to use the enclosed software. They did though have what I thought was a very unnecessary statement that you needed to unplug all USB devices before doing the install, then plug them in when done. I followed their 'request' anyway and it installed without issue. The unit itself is small, and without any markings. Yes it does get warm while plugged in, and one half of it glows a soft blue. it comes in a small white box with their logo stuck on top. Windows 7 users may have an issue during driver installation, but if they do the documentation AND the video both tell you how to fix that, should it come up. The software, Arcsoft Showbiz does the job, but it is a beginners package. It detected the digitizer and captured fine. I tried using the digitizer with my copy of Cyberlink PowerDirector 14, and it wasn't recognize. So you'll need to use Arcsoft for capturing. The file it saves is in MPEG format, so it was easily opened by PowerDirector. Beginners in video editing should do fine, while more advanced folks will likely just use Arcsoft for video capture, then use their chosen video editor to turn it into a DVD. The DVD also comes with a more advanced capture program, but it isn't the most user friendly. It also captures in uncompressed AVI format, so the capture file is gigantic. In short it works fine and is highly recommended. It is inexpensive and fairly problem free, other than the serial number readability issue. It pays to read their short 4 page instructions first, including the FAQ's at the end. Among other things it shows you how to fix Arcsoft's little issue of saying your home recorded video is copy protected. It is fixed with a one line edit of Arcsoft's config file via Notepad. The only issue I've had so far during capture was when I was fiddling with the screensaver settings while a capture was running. Windows had a momentary brain fart when I saved the screensaver settings, with the result being a momentary glitch in the video capture preview screen. Outwardly Arcsoft seemed fine, but when I viewed the capture file later it was missing all the captured date before the brain fart. I redid the capture of the first part of the video, then pasted them together flawlessly in Arcsoft. In short it pays to leave your pc alone while the capture is running. No biggie. I'm just happy the device works. Oh it also comes with all cables needed to attach the unit to your VHS recorder. Lastly the delivery estimates quoted by desertcart on this product are way off. Mine arrived from England about a week after ordering. desertcart quoted the delivery date 19 days after I got it. it comes registers mail so a signature is required for delivery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked fine for me on 11yo laptop running Windows 7
*by A***Y on July 29, 2020*

I followed the instructions and it loaded up and worked as advertised on a 2009 era Toshiba Satellite P505-S8980 laptop (4gb ram, Windows 7 Home Premium, 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor w/integrated Intel graphics). Included are 3 pages of double-sided documentation which may sound intimidating but 2 pages are FAQ which you can ignore if all goes well and 2 pages are for the back up OBS Studio capture software which you can ignore if ArcSoft Showbiz works for you. So there was really only the 2 pages of the core kit install which needed to be followed which has 3 steps: Install USB driver, install video capture software, connect capture device. Within a number of minutes I had live video from my vcr visible in the Showbiz capture window on my laptop with a big 'CAPTURE' button prominently displayed on the lower part of the interface. I pressed it to start and stop my recording and did my first successful video capture. The Arcsoft capture software can be sensitive to breaks of static between videos and I found initially that it would stop recording during some of these breaks. Apparently the copyright protection is so sensitive that it sees odd video variances as formal protection and shuts down recording. This was irritating but luckily there is a fix- just follow the solution provided under FAQ question number 7. Now the software continues recording regardless of the amount of static between video segments. The only downside is that it may continue recording static after your valid video segment ends so I just note the length of the video I want to capture and make sure I am there to press 'STOP' when it is over. I've now recorded over 20 home videos to MPEG files on my laptop and have an external hard drive on order to transfer them to. I find this less cumbersome than handling countless dvd disks. My experience on output file size has been just under 2.25Gb per hour of recorded video. This is using the default output .MPG format. So if my math is correct you should be able to record and store up to 440 hours of vhs video on a 1TB HD. In summary, I found this kit to be a complete solution which allows the average consumer to avoid separately researching video conversion devices + software which can be time consuming and aggravating. For the cost of between 2-4 home video conversions at a professional processing house you can convert your whole video tape collection. Highly recommended.
