Instructions are not detailed much! I thought I would get everything I would need in the box to transfer my VHS to DVD, I ended up having to buy other needed items, still couldn't understand how to set up the VCR, computer and the connections. Then I bought another program which gave detailed info and sucess with 2nd product! I wish there were a way to contact the seller and ask questions about a product before a purchase!

We bought this product, and had a problem, hearing crackeling when we started to record audio. We called the customer service line. They were of very little help. Tried several different things, new chords etc. Nothing worked. It was beyond the time for a refund. We sent the little box back for them to test. They sent it back, without a word in the return, and it does the same as it did before. Save your money, do not buy any products from this company. They do not stand behind their products.

A few months ago, I was searching for a product to convert my VHS tapes to DVD format, as I am moving in the coming months and wanted to "downsize" a bit. The first product I chose was this one, and I was severely disappointed for a couple of reasons: First, any product of this nature involves a bit of an investment. One must buy DVD's and cases, as well as an audio/video cord (and probably an extra long one, if you don't have an extra VCR laying around, as it needs to be pretty near your computer). Now, that investment wouldn't be so bad if the finished product was satisfactory, but sadly that probably will not be the case. From my own experience (with a new Gateway computer), I found that the newly-created DVD turned out to be less quality than the original tape unless taped on the highest quality mode, with which you only get one hour of dub time (or, essentially useless). Basically, the very best one can expect from this product is a reproduction of the original VHS tape. I did, however, give this product two stars based on the fact that, with a large hard drive and top-of-the-line video capture card, it may work quite well (and thus would be much less expensive than a VCR/DVD recorder combo unit). Yet, if I have a new computer and wasn't satisfied with the results, it would take a mammoth effort (too much for the hassle) to make this product acceptable. Thus, if you have a super-powered computer geared for playing videos, this product may be a fit for you. If not, though, I would suggest buying a combo unit (or at least waiting until they come down in price!)
