Thank you for helping us revive old VHS tapes that had our childhood videos into our hard drives

your storage device (i.e. hard drive) should fail.

old VHS's and 8 mm tapes to an external hard drive for Christmas

This drive is quiet and fast.

I save it to my hard drive then open iMovie (you cannot send video directly to iMovie 10, gee

Place copies on perhaps flash drives (however they are easy lost and not as reliable as hard drives), or perhaps an optical storage device like a DVR disk.

I have been using this device to dump the entire tape contents onto my hard drive for later editing

My childhood of VHS home movies are now able to be preserved on an external hard drive instead of on deteriorating rectangular prisms.

Perfect, was able to convert all my VHS to Digital and save on my hard drive

The drive failed to install despite repeated restarts and reattempts at installing it.

I had to clear out enough hard drive space on my computer first

After uploading it's simple to save your movies on a hard drive and then give them to friends and family.

The easiest/affordable way to copy your video tapes to PC computer hard drive.

Very simple, without a lot of recording options but the key to me is that it works and allows me to move valuable home videos to more stable hard drives in digital form or burn to DVD's.

Has worked very well in recording our old vhs tapes to hard drive.

A great product that allows me to store my old vhs home videos on a hard drive

Pro Late 2011 with OSX 10.9.4, 8GB ram, and 500GB hard drive.

We wanted to transfer all our old mini DV tapes to hard drive and cloud backups for years now

I've already copied over about 45 vhs tapes to my hard drive.

So I transferred my great Aunts 100 Birthday party from 1996 over to a hard drive and made copies for family

I was so skeptical when I ordered this, but it works exactly as I'd hoped it would, and has allowed me to pull many hours of VHS video onto my hard drive to keep forever.

I downloaded the software and installed it, I plugged in the cable, I pressed play on the VCR or DVD player, I told the Elgato software to start recording, it did, and I saved it to my hard drive

files that I can store on my hard drive and play on my computer

Easy to use and I was able to copy all old family videocassettes onto my laptop and external hard drive to preserve memories.

this has been a pretty good device for transferring our old VHS taped programs into the hard drive.

So far so good, it is working perfectly to convert my old VHS and VHS-C (using a VHS-C adapter I already had) to my hard drive.

When I use this product to transfer to my hard drive, the playback is at a higher speed and the audio is distorted

I needed to dub a 30 minute tape of my daughter's (2009) wedding ceremony from my DCR-TRV320 camcorder to a i5 Win7 x64 PC with a nearly empty 4TB hard drive and 16GB of memory

I was able to transfer 50 VCR tapes of family memories to my laptop, which I later backed up on 3x external, redundant hard drives.

We also purchased an external 2 TB WD hard drive, so that we can move the PC movies to it and preserve them safely.

I would definitely recommend the Elgato for anyone who wants to save their memories to their PC/ Hard drive.

So simple to use and I am so happy my tapes can now be preserved in a file that I just save on a hard drive.

I downloaded all my VHS tapes and have them backed up on a couple of hard drives for playback anytime.

Very simple, without a lot of recording options but the key to me is that it works and allows me to move valuable home videos to more stable hard drives in digital form or burn to DVD's.

The included software allows to easily cut-out useless footage at the beginning and at the end of the video before finally saving it to the hard drive

We also purchase a personal "cloud" device to use to store the digital movies, as they do take up quite a bit of hard-drive space, and I was afraid I would lose them all if my computer crashed

My next purchase will be an external hard drive for my computer...

I had to clear out enough hard drive space on my computer first

I transferred my old VHS tapes to hard drive with this

With this one product, I've been able to start transferring both the unwieldy DVD copies, and the precious VHS originals to the hard drive of my computer

I'm trying "repair drive" to fix the issue - Windows 8.1.Amazon should be held liable, if i can't recover the drive.

Original review:This product crashed my hard drive

Once transferred to your computer, be sure to back up your hard drive just in

I transferred all the videos to an external hard drive to free up space on my computer

I transfered over 75 VHS tapes to an external hard drive and I never had a single problem!

I used it to transfer my VHS tapes to my hard drive.

I already have 2/3's of my Mini-DV's transferred to a new hard drive and ALL TURNED OUT AWESOME.

recordings).From a computer standpoint, my PC has two identical SSD hard drives in Raid striping (allows fast storage).

This is not going to help me get hours upon hours of old family footage onto a hard drive

Remember to change your computer power settings so it doesn't sleep while recording and ensure you have enough space on your hard drive.

The problem is that I keep looking at the videos as we record them on to the hard drive

Mind you I am using a BRAND SPANKING NEW, top of the line,empty hard drive, laptop

If you have a lot of home movies to save, you might consider getting a large external hard drive to store the video files on

Perfect for both transferring from VCR to external hard drive and saving recordings from Directv Genie

Popped in a video and captured right to my hard drive

The ease of use is spectacular, and being able to have all our home videos on our external hard drive (and eventually DVD) is wonderful

your hard drive goes bad

Excellent, was able to save Vhs tapes to hard drive and also mini from camcorder and upload to YouTube to share with family!!!

Allows you to transfer any older video player files to the computer and putting them on a hard drive or dvd

If you don't select the high-res feature, your old-style VHS tapes will create 320x240 files, but high-res (which does require more PC horsepower and about twice the disk space per tape) will make them 720x480; so opt for that if your CPU and hard drive space allow

The videos easily transferred to iTunes and then to an external hard drive and a thumb drive

Used to backup my Hi-8 tapes to hard drive (and then burn to DVD).Now working on old VHS tapes

Currently copying childhood memories to my hard drive

It was about 4 steps and a few minutes before I was recording video to my hard drive

FINALLY having our home movies on a hard drive is priceless

I was able to save the videos to my google drive and external hard drive

I recommend you get a large (2 TB) external hard drive and put the digital version of your VHS tapes on an external drive rather than eating up your internal HD.

There's a lot of confusing information out there, from FireWire to USB cables (most said it couldn't be done for video transfer), but what seemed promising was A/V to USB transfer
