Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter [Mac Disc]

Its only USB 2.0. It will only work with USB 2.0. And you only know this when you install the software and go to plug in the device and see that it wont be recognized by the software but it is recognized by the computer. So if you have an Mac that is 2012 or newer, you will not be able to use this product. I had to borrow a neighbors old 2010 MacBook Pro to use this product. It does a decent job recording the videos. Im just glad I have to do this only once. Also, Roxio customer service sucks terribly. I got one email reply back from them 24 hours after I sent one, then replied to that one like instructed to if I had more questions and its been a week and havent heard anything about they said I would have a response in 24 hours. So in the end, its fine. It gets the job done, but you need an older Mac (Pre-2011) and customer service sucks.

I found a bunch of old tapes and wanted to get them into a digital format. I looked up this product, and although I saw a lot of bad reviews for it not working on OSX 10.6, I saw a few others said it worked fine. I have 10.7, which I just upgraded a little while ago from 10.5, and it works fine. I plugged in the software, plugged in the cables and updated anything that needed to be updated and boom its there. Ive already ripped 3 VHS tapes onto my Mac. You just have to let it play as its recording. Which is good if you want to watch the video again right before you start editing it. You can also mute the audio so you can continue facebooking or whatever it is you kids do.

Works perfectly on macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 For moving VCR Tapes to computer. I couldnt figure out how to burn DVDs but I put them in iMovie and did major edits and then posted online to share. When I get time Ill try to make sense of the DVD Burn part.

I plugged in the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD dongle, installed the drivers for Mac from the disc, and it has worked flawlessly digitizing from my VHS deck. Looks great and no crashes or issues with Mac OS Big Sur.

Purchased this after reading a ton of reviews. Bought it just before the Christmas holidays, to make it one of the projects for the holiday. Installed it on my MacBook Pro running Catalina to find that the most important piece Roxio Video Capture doesnt run on Catalina. Opened a support ticket on December 14th, and never a response from Corel Customer Support besides the automated message telling me I opened a support ticket. Luckily have an old 17 MacBook Pro, running High Sierra. Roxio Video Capture upon start told me I needed to update. It worked without updates, but ran the update software within the application and it downloaded a 300MB+ update, restarted and everything has been working. It looks like this software will become useless in the not so distant future. I got lucky by having an older Mac to run it on. I of course am in the later stages of getting my kids videos off of VHS and into a digital format so the need to do this by others is rare I suspect. Update - Finally got a response from Corel Customer Support with Actually it is an ongoing issue, Our engineers are working on it. If we receive any updates on this we will definitely let you know. Update - of 26 tapes I converted, 11 of them have sound dropping out somewhere in the recording. As soon as it drops out it never returns. So now rerunning 11 tapes through the process with fingers crossed it doesnt happen the second time around. Was all excited until we got 30+ minutes into a 2 hour video of my oldest and the sound disappeared. Changing my star rating from 4 to 2 because of this. Update January 2, 2020 - received an email from Customer Support with a download link for version 4. Downloaded and installed on my MacBook Pro running Catalina, everything started up without issues, did a quick capture of a VHS tape and everything was good on this first attempt. I dont have anymore to convert, though I suspect we will find a few in the future or help others. Boosting Rating to 3 stars at this time. If I find more to do and everything works 100% on those we will have 4 stars, will never reach 5 at this point though.

Needed to convert some VHS and Mini8 to DVD. Reviews shown from 1 stars to 5 stars so kind of confused. After reading most of them. Realized some of the 1 star were from times when the product first came out. Also some of the problems that people run into seem to me are hardware problems and not software. Figured the developer would have enough time to clean up the bugs. So pick one up around $60.00 which I think its a great deal. Installed the thing onto my 2.0 Ghz. Mac running OS10.6.8. Took only about 15 mins. including reading part of the manual and hooking up the wiring. Pop in the VHS and follow the instruction. About 1 1/2 hours later I have myself a recorded DVD. Cannot be easier. Only thing would like to see is maybe some extra functions such as pause and play etc... This way I can skip the parts that I dont want to record. So I dont have to waste time to edit it later. Bottom line, if you just need to do Simple Transfer like me. This is what you want. Good stuff.

Product is as expected, it did take an update when I plugged it in and then it started working. Before that it was not wanting to work. Love the fact that I can capture the movies now and use them in iMovie!

For a Mac user the MyDVD app behaves like it was made for Windoze users. Very buggy and not intuitive. I kept getting a message toward the end of a DVD burn A disc burner was not found Code: -104121669 Through trial and error it seems that the disc I was using didnt have the capacity for the movies I was trying to burn. The MyDVD app indicates how much space is used and how much is available, but forget trying to fill up a disc based on those numbers. The Roxio Video Capture works quite well - no problems there.

The product is wonderful. But I had a problem. The CD key did not work and I had to write an email to Roxio to request support. They sent me a new CD key to register my product. I never knew what happened. But it is working.

This product is very easy to use. The directions on installing the software are clear and easy to follow. The cable hooked up to a USB port and then to the VCR with a standard RCA cable, which came with the VCR. I copied a home VHS tape on the first try and converted it a DVD using iMovie and iDVD. I really like this product, and have many more home VHS movies to convert. I would recommend buying a 1 TB or 2 TB external drive to store the files before burning,and for possible future storage of these files.
