Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe OLD VERSION

Equipment: Sanyo 4-head Hi-Fi VCR circa 2001 version Honestech VHS to DVD, USB converter hooked to Sanyo VCR output Honestech V 2.0 software and driversUsing the equipment and software above yielded a video output with the following results:Initial Results: Video quality was acceptable but certainly NOT HD quality Audio is behind the video approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds Have not been able to resolve this issue with Honestech software and Honestech was not Helpful in resolving the issue last year.Secondary Results: Downloaded Golden Videos VHS to DVD Converter software from NCH Software Installed and ran GV with Honestech USB converter and Sanyo VCRResults: Video quality is comparable to the original VCR tape Audio was aligned with the video as the original VCR tapeConclusions:1/8/2023 – No conclusions at this time except that the Honestech unit does what it is supposed to dowith the Golden Video software, while the Honestech supplied software does not do what is expected ( resulting in an audio delay; making the video hard to watch.)Was glad to read one review that found the same results with Windows Movie Maker. I am going to try WMV and see is results are better, worse, or the same as the Golden Video software.Hope this review helps others. Honestech needs to work on its software.

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.

I bought this product from another company and struggled to find the product key code for hours.i tried many sites and codes and nothing worked.the code was saposed to be printed on the cd it wasnt.in my search.of the many online pages i down loaded a file that said that it had the codes and it infected my smart phone with a virus that i cant get rid of.i tryed another site on my pc and my virus scan stopped the download because it was dangerous.AVOID THIS PRODUCT THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD AVOID CANCER!!!

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.

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 item on another site excited to transfer my old VHS tapes to DVD-R's. I spent 2 hours going over the manual and what was coming up on my computer screen--nothing matched! The disc included for set up didn't do/say anything that the manual was saying that it would do. It was extremely frustrating. I tried on my home computer, then a lap top, then my son's iPad...nothing! So upsetting. I wish I would've read the reviews on this item before purchasing.

Wow, I have used a lot of different software programs for editing, copying etc. and Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe is the WORST. There are so many limitations, I am not sure where to begin. First off, you have to have your tape already set up exactly where you want to begin copying. There is no option to rewind or fast forward. Not a major issue, but it does complicate things. I agree with the other reviewers comment on the quality, it is very very poor. Honestly, if you can purchase a dvd camcorder, invest the money towards that and record everything straight to dvd. In recording two separate videos, this program crashed my computer numerous times. I am running a Pentium IV, 2.8 ghz and this program killed my computer. There are so many bugs in it, I would bet that not even Honestech VHS to DVD 25.0 Deluxe would have the kinks worked out. My recommendation to all is avoid this program completely. It is not worth the money at all.
