I bought one to copy a TV show recorded on VHS to DVD. The conditions weren't ideal, because I was using a low spec netbook as the Windows XP PC(1.6 ghz chip and one meg of RAM) and a source VHS tape that had been recorded in low quality. So how did I get on? Everything installed easily. To give the netbook its best chance, I disabled virus checkers and everything I could running in the background that might slow it down. The results were remarkably good. There was the odd video glitch here and there, but I think that was the result of the original (feeble) recording quality of the VHS. I was very impressed indeed. So I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm pretty hard to please, but after spending a lot of time trying to find a way to transfer VHS tapes to my PC, and also on software for Video editing, I stumbled upon this package and figured I couldn't lose much for $12 dollars (the price of a movie ticket).
I spent much more on video software that kept crashing. Everything worked beautifully and in no time I had my first video on Youtube. The only thing I had to provide was an extension for the RCA connections from the adapter to the VCR - which I happened to have.
I'm getting a second package for loaning to friends, so as not to risk losing MINE.
