 A PIECE OF JUNK May 6, 2008
This is not easy for the novice. Requires quite a few things that are not included. Should be reported to the BBB for false advertising.
Computer Lock Up! January 4, 2008

I bought "VHS To DVD" ver. 3.0 at BJs. After I got home, I read the bad reviews but loaded it in hoping I would have no problems. BAD IDEA! First of all, the capture device was different from the unit that was shown in the "Quick Guide" A newer, sleeker box with slightly different type connections. No published full User Guide or Manual. But, a newer Guide was in the disc as a .pdf.
After installing the program, I started to transfer a VHS tape using Easy Wizard Mode. All seemed well with the first transfer but then I noticed the mouse starting to hesitate and finally the computer locked up totally. I had to hold the power button in on my computer to restart. Then after Windows came back up, my video screen resolution was greatly reduced and all the icons etc. were huge. I had to restart in Safe Mode and uninstall the Honestech program. Then my sound was all screwed up and I had to reinstall my sound card driver. During this mess, I was taken to their site which had a "patch" to supposedly repair these problems but to no avail.
HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: After I uninstalled the program and repaired my computer to normal, I remembered Windows has a program called "Windows Movie Maker." (C:\Programs\Movie Maker)I plugged the video capture device that came with the VHS To DVD package using the supplied UBS cable. I then booted up Movie Maker, clicked on "Video Capture Device" on their menu and it recognized the unit immediately. Guess what: The Windows program is simple to use and you can send the captured video right to any file you choose and edit them later, if desired. Or just burn them on a DVD. Simple.
So the bottom line is: DON'T WASTE MONEY ON THIS PROGRAM! But, if you already did, use there device and try out the Windows Movie Maker. I doing right now. And when I'm done, I am going to return this piece of junk to BJs.

I purchased this product at Costco and was able to transfer both my vhs movie tapes and my HI8 camcorder tapes to it. Initially I had the copyright error pop up on my family tapes, but I notified their tech dept and I received a patch for the error message. It worked correctly and I continued with my tape to dvd transfer. I noticed that if I tried certain transfered dvds on an older model dvd player, I would not receive sound, but the dvd would work on an updated newer model of a dvd player. I have no complaints, since all the vcr and hi8 movies are on dvd now. The color transfer appears to be the same as to what the initial tape looked like.
No problems here March 1, 2007
I purchased this program on the recommendation of a Fry's Electronics clerk and love it. I have done numerous home VHS tapes to DVD. It is simple to use and I am very pleased with the quality it puts out.

Product not at all what it appears to be for reasons already expressed by the other 1 star reviews. Honest tech, huh? Hopefully they're honest enough to give me my money back!
