Comments about Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac:
I have been looking for a way to capture my cassette tapes from my 1998-2003 VHS camcorder for years. After many expensive options, this cable has been the easiest to use. The quality is not HD, but as good as I've seen from high end recorders and I can do it from home while watching my videos. The program hangs on the last seconds of the burning process and I found that if I simply unplug the USB and plug it back in, the process completes and the video looks great. When I save the file, I use the year month and day. This way, my videos are sorted in date order. Love this product - Super easy to use. One more tip…. It seems to work better if you save in sections rather than all 30 minutes at once.

Comments about Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac:
I used Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac to transfer old VHS documentaries to DVD. The hardware is a snap to set up, and the software installed quickly and painlessly. The package also includes Toast software, so conversion and transfer to DVD were seamless and easy. Quality, audio and visual were just as in the originals. Plus, Toast offers a helpful and unexpected choice of transfer to NTSC or PAL format. A fine product, and considering the personal value of what it does for you, worth a gazillion times more than its purchase price.

Comments about Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac:
This product does what it says. Not really that configurable (e.g. auto shutoff times for the recording are predefined and not configurable), but for what you are getting at the price hard to complain. Works well, transferred a bunch of videos tapes easily with good quality!!

Comments about Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac:
I use the product to grander any and all vhs tapes I receive. The ease of the product is great... however I haven't had enough time with it to tell if the slight loss in quality is because of the rca cable being used and not an s-video cable. Overall it is a very easy and good product

Will not fit a 2 hour VHS movie on a DVD. Software is garbage, you have to upgrade to Toast 10. Quality is poor.
