The component that I found complicated or at least just overwhelming even for a tech savvy user is the sheer number of options available for codecs, and compression rates. In general, the application is really quite easy to use and after spending less than 10 minutes reading the manual, I was zipping along like an expert.

Apart from the audio feature, there are 2 main video modes to the app – the Easy Wizard and the Advanced Mode.Įasy Wizard very quickly lets you pick a video tape and burn to DVD with a few mouse clicks.

We tested out this product from Honest Technology (honestech) and found a very capable, complete solution that works without much fuss.Īfter installing the software and drivers on your computer, hook up your video (or audio) source to the small box (VID BOX – included with the Deluxe version) that fits easily in the palm of your hand using either composite or S-video cables, and then you attach the included USB cable to your computer. Without having to go out and spend the same amount of money or more restocking your collection with DVD versions of your movies, you can obtain a hw/sw solution such as VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe and convert your VHS video tape collection to DVD yourself at the cost of about 4-6 movies. If you have any kind of video collection dating back even to the 90s, then you probably have a number of VHS tapes collecting dust once you stopped using your VCR and switched to using your DVD player exclusively. Update: Honestech has released v5.0 of VHS to DVD Deluxe.
