  • Does a good job of copying VHS tapes from my VCR to my computer.
  • Otherwise does the job but just not worth the frustration.
  • I've replaced it with the Elgato video capture device which, while more expensive, does a great job with no hassle.
  • Does a decent job, was simple to use but the software is glitchy.
  • Does a good job for me when used with the included software.

  • Included capture software is clunky, but works.
  • Looking at the reviews for the other products on here, the other products were either way too expensive, only working with component or hdmi cables, or dangerously bootleg pieces of junk
  • When you get this error, you are done and your work is wasted
  • Dongle works well, but software must have built in AI or something that guesses if you're copying copy protected tapes.
  • The software worked well, has been reliable, and the hardware is well made.

  • Using included software to burn output to DVD results in horrible video when played on tv.
  • I tried the interface with better video software and got better results
  • As for the product being able to capture a video with "EZGrabber" that works quite well and I find the video quality was as good as my VHS tape was through the VCR on TV.
  • If not then adjust, record, adjust....on an on until you get a good quality video.

  • Very nice how Arcsoft can fit a 2 hour movie (like Forest Gump) onto 1 single disc!

  • it’s not burning the DVD and not functioning the way it should
  • Capturing videos from my old camcorder, saving as movie file, doing even simple editing - adding text, etc. and burning DVD without a hitch
  • first capturing the tape, then the hour (plus) to burn the DVD
  • I tried three different times to burn a DVD of a relatively small file and the program never completed what should been a simple task.
  • However, there seems to be no color on the converted videos, tried all formats (NTSC, PAL etc), the player I was using was NTSC and the tape recorded was in the same format too, yet, I could never get any color in the converted videos, worse still, the quality of the recording was not usable, it was highly pixelated, tried all available options (DVD, VCD etc)
