I transferred 11 (22 hrs worth) precious 8mm videos to digital files with no failures right out of the box. The instructions were a bit disjointed but once I figured out a simple thing I was inadvertently doing wrong it was smooth sailing. VERY easy to use and I'm glad I got one with a big display. You can set to automatically record for a set period of time and just walk away while it continues to record or, monitor it while choosing to edit what parts of the film you want to record or omit (like old girlfriends pre-marriage) I was really nervous about doing this as my videos were 25+ years old and priceless to us but after a single test run, my fears were calmed. Its not glitchy and my fears quickly went away. Note that it does NOT play your physical videotape for you. I my case I played the tapes in my Sony 8mm Handicam and it is connected to the converter with a typical AV RCA cable. The quality of the video is just as good as the original. Once you have copied the footage on a flash drive you can access the videos simply by popping the flash drive to an available USB input on your smart TV. In my case the format didn't fit my TV screen exactly but the picture was very large and the entire frame fit the TV without going off of the screen. Note that the recording process requires the videos play to full length while creating the movie so there's nothing quick about it. This purchase was everything I was hoping for and more. I've not yet tried the included video editing software. I highly recommend this product!! Read more
No problems whatsoever to use. You can record multiple movies on the provided thumb drive before transferring to the computer. The software is professional quality and allows for intuitive and quick modifications (trimming the video and adding audio effects). Don't look for this to magically make your VHS quality video equal to Blue Ray or anything like that! It does a fairly decent job with the quality, and you CAN 'upscale' the video quality. But don't think of it as better looking (i.e. making grainy video crisp and clear); think of it as better QUALITY video (i.e. Still grainy, but more pixels per square inch). Still, overall it does exactly what I wanted and is easy to use. Highly recommend for digitizing and saving your VHS, DVD, Blue Ray, and whatever video you can plug in with S-Video or RCA connectors. Also, the software is pretty top-notch. Can use that for editing audios, as well. Or creating videos (to include photo slide show) and adding audio (dubbing music or narration). Read more
I am not tech savvy & this was so easy to set up & very easy to use. I bought the full kit including USB drive & it was absolutely worth it. I converted 40 to 50 VHS home movie tapes to digital & this product worked perfectly. I connected this directly to our VCR for conversion. My only complaint is that I could not adjust the volume when I was doing the recordings, but I also did not have a remote for my VCR. If you are worried about converting your family memories to digital before it's too late this product is worth every penny. And the 128GB USB easily fit all of our family movies in on convenient easily stored place. Read more
This worked as described. I was able to convert VHS to digital with a minimal set up. I plugged in my VCR then plugged in the included flash drive then hit play. I watched the video on the small screen while it recorded. I did my program in 4:3 aspect because it was an old program and it didn't stretch it like other converting programs have done to me. It was a little pricey but in the end well worth it. I won't ever have to buy an updated program to record VHS to digital again. There was no video rendering for output, it simply made an mpeg4 file which my computer could play easily. The video quality, sound quality were great and set up was easy. Read more
