Has anyone used this on Windows 8? What has your experience been? Want to copy from a VHS recorder and save to Surface Pro with Windows 8.1

I have used it on Windows 8 on my PC and it works great. I use a DVD/VHS machine and been converting my VHS stuff to DVD. The only thing that gave me any trouble was a 2 hour movie. I need to re-try that, but anything up to an hour has worked fine.

Although I'm not using Windows 8, it works fine on WindowsXP and Windows 7. Can't imagine why it won't run on Win8. As a sidebar, of the 20 or so scanners we've used, this is by far the best. The software provided is also excellent.

I am using Windows 8.1 and it works right out of the box. I have also been able to use it with Sleepyhead, but since it has no clock, you have to track start and stop time for the recording manually.

I used it with windows 8 to transfer data from ide drive from a broken laptop and worked very well. I don't remember at that time if it was windows 8 or 8.1

Mighty close--it works well but the cables are short. You will also need to download the latest version of the software. I have had no problems at all--just can't find the time to transfer my many records. Hope this helps.

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

I used this to transfer from Vista to Windows 7 with no problems. You need to install the program software on windows 7 PC before using the Easy Transfer Wizard open on both PC's along with the cable and files will transfer over into place. Now my question is do I have to buy another cable especially for Windows 7 to Windows 8 or will this cable do both?

Mine installed on Windows 8 better than Windows 7! Supposedly it works for doing record albums -- only I haven't figured out how!

Yes, it has been working on Windows 8. In my opinion, this is not the easiest software to figure out. It has a lot of capability but difficult to navigate the different options.

No it does not work on my Windows 8 64 bit, at least not in Adobe Audition CS6 or Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I'm contacting them tomorrow for an update before I buy another brand.

I used it successfully with regular 8. It took a lot of trial and error (repositioning projector, mirror and mirror angle and refocusing) to get it right. It takes considerable persistence, but my transfers look a lot better than the ones I had done professionally to VHS tape and DVD; and, unlike those transfers, mine run at the correct speed. Probably not as good as present-day professional frame-by-frame techniques; but (with a good camcorder), you can get achieve something pretty decent at very small fraction of the cost.

Hi Carlito. When I purchased the AS-2400 Transcription Kit, I had and still do the OS Windows XP. It works well with Windows XP. The manufacturer's box mentions many OS, but not Windows 8. So, I'm not sure if it will work with Windows 8.

I use this on Windows 8.1 with no problems. Windows actually recognized it and installed the drivers for it automatically. I just had to install Roxio for the copying and editing.

I've used it. It works. The only down side is that on a Windows 8 OS the feature to burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker is gone. You'll need a 3rd party software to burn DVDs that you make.
