    I received this software and USB video capture device on a Saturday. Installed the software, attached the device to the output from my video camera (to play tape in camera directly) and plugged it into my computer. Worked great right out the box. Didn't have to read any instructions, software very intuitive and easy to use. Created my first video and placed it on a DVD within 30 minutes of installing the software.

    Since delivery I have created multiple DVD's from VHS, VHS-C, Video Files and Mini DV Cassettes directly from the camera as well as from a VHS player. The software works great. My PC is a Windows 7 desktop with Duo Core 3Ghz processors, 8Gb Ram and 320 Gb Hdd. The only way I can see this software having issues on any PC is if the PC has minimal requirements and trouble handling all the video processing. I did not run into any of that. I was actually running the World of Warcraft online game while recording through the Roxio software and had no issues.

    I was skeptical at first after reading all the reviews, but usually save my opinion until I see it for myself and I am glad I did. This software/device was exactly what i needed and was looking for to trasnfer all of our family videos from VHS, VHS-C, Video Files and Mini DV cassettes to DVD in order to protect our memories.

    Don't be taken aback from all the reviews, make sure your PC has all the latest updates via Windows Update and take a chance, this software works well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to set up and use, but limited software capability...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2010
    This item was convenient and easy to setup and use, and it does work well. The software however, is pretty bare bones... it's enough to get the job done, but is limited in functionality and in some cases is more difficult to use than I'd like. Specifically, when editing a video for length or to remove a section, the trim points move frame-by-frame, which is nice if your near the stop point you want to trim, but moving it only a few seconds forward or back using the slider (instead of frame-by-frame) is difficult to do on longer videos (not granular enough) so your forced to "get close" then go frame-by-frame; and if you even just 5 seconds away, that's a lot of frames to click through! (So I wish it had a "go-to-time" feature or an adjustable movement rate).

    There are a variety of menus to choice from and they even have music, but you cannot edit buttons or button placement or really any aspect of them. Also I wish you could drag/drop to reorder the movies you are about to burn to disc (you can't capture one long movie and insert chapters... you have to capture each segment you want to be a chapter as a separate movie, then each movie becomes a chapter in the finished product).

    So basically, if you're looking for simple to set up and use, and aren't the type to want to set up transitions and custom music, etc. etc, then this is a fine solution. If you want more creative movie creation capability, you'll need to obtain some more advanced software than comes with this item.

    From what I can tell, if this software / hardware package installs successfully onto your computer, it has the promise of being a very simple to use method for converting VHS tapes to a DVD format. If it does not install perfectly you will be on your own trying to figure out how to get it to work. This software did not install onto my computer so I cannot comment on how well it works.
    I am returning my ROXIO Easy VHS to DVD because after numerous removals and re-installations (the only remotely intelligent suggestion I was given from ROXIO tech support and online ROXIO Discussion forums)the program still does not work.
    The user forum "gurus" are not knowledgeable regarding ROXIO products and I personally found their responses to be useless, adolescent, and in the end arrogant. I installed a competitors product and it installed easily and is working flawlessly.
    Due to the lack of technical support for their products, I will probably never purchase another ROXIO product.
    For those of you that do....GOOD LUCK...because you will be on your own in your attempt to install a inferior product.

    2.0 out of 5 stars The hardware part works!

    (on Windows X64 with 6gb of memory.)

    The USB dongle does a very nice job of connecting the video player to the PC, and conveying the video. The part that doesn't work so well is the software.
    It takes a very long time to start up for some reason, and although this is labled as VHS to DVD, you can get it to copy to an mpg file on your computer by using the other option. This option is meant to allow you to record multiple clips and then use the built in editor to select start/end points, delete sections you don't want, and export a finished product. Just exit after recording a tape and the file will be found in My Videos folder in Windows.

    So that's a work-around in my opinion, as this doesn't seem to be described to you. Even worse, the editor doesn't work. At all.

    You can create start and end points,and delete them, but you can't seem to do anything else. There are video player controls in the software window, but clicking on them does nothing.

    Since the first video transfer, every time I start up the program Windows tells me there was an error starting the program and offer me the option of debugging or stopping the program. Either button actually just stops the program, but I don't see why I would be offered a debug option in the first place.

    This would have prevented me from doing any more transfers, except that I found that by ignoring the error message, and moving it's window out of the way, I could in fact use the software to record more videos. So much for there being an error.

    So I have to say that while I am able to get my videos transferred to my home server, it's by figuring out ways around the program's quirks and failings. All in all a very disappointing product.
