I have some old VHS tapes with drop outs and glitches. Will this unit remain stable (No disjointed frames) when importing or do I have to reset it?

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Yep, I'm gonna second Paul here. It doesn't matter what format the tape is (beta, VHSC, etc.), as long as you have the AV out it will work just fine. This is by far the best device I've found. It cost more than some, because in this case, you actually do get what you pay for.

Yes it will. I have transferred older VHS tapes that are not available any more and it copied them all without a problem.

Yes. And the picture quality is excellent. What really surprised me was it's durability. I have converted all my old VHS tapes to DVD. The tracking adjuster can eliminate even the worst degraded VHS tape picture lines.

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.

if you are using it to enhance vhs tape recording then something is wrong. you simply pipe the video feed only from the vhs player , to the digital stabilizer , to the dvd recorder or recording device. the sound from the vhs player is a straight shot to the recording device it is not fed through the stabilizer. also I don't believe you can enhance a digital signal with this device , only analog. so if you are using the stabilizer for enhanced video feed from an analog device and all you are getting is a scrambled picture then yes something is wrong. that's the best answer I can give you. thanks. from the vhs to the stabilizer to the recording device. if you are using it to enhance vhs tape recording then something is wrong. you simply pipe the video feed only from the vhs player , to the digital stabilizer , to the dvd recorder or recording device. the sound from the vhs player is a straight shot to the recording device it is not fed through the stabilizer. also I don't believe you can enhance a digital signal with this device , only analog. so if you are using the stabilizer for enhanced video feed from an analog device and all you are getting is a scrambled picture then yes something... » Read More if you are using it to enhance vhs tape recording then something is wrong. you simply pipe the video feed only from the vhs player , to the digital stabilizer , to the dvd recorder or recording device. the sound from the vhs player is a straight shot to the recording device it is not fed through the stabilizer. also I don't believe you can enhance a digital signal with this device , only analog. so if you are using the stabilizer for enhanced video feed from an analog device and all you are getting is a scrambled picture then yes something is wrong. that's the best answer I can give you. thanks. from the vhs to the stabilizer to the recording device. « Show Less

My Roxio version is easy VHS TO DVD 3PLUS, I have Windows 64, this program is very erratic, now it works next there's no video feed, just a green screen, duration time is unreliable, as I program a set time, it will tape a few minutes or an hour then stops. These are the problems that I have, I do not know about using Captue from Sound card.

Doubtful as an SD VHS doesn't have the pixel (resolution) density - nothing to fill in - typically with video you can always go down in size and resolution but not up.

I don't think that the product is fragile. I have used it to play and copy several hundred compact-VHS tapes with no problems. The key is to DO EVERYTHING SLOWLY. When you slide the clear plastic cover back to open the adapter to put in the tape, it is moving several gears and a lot is happening internally, so always slide the cover slowly but firmly. Make sure that the cover is pulled completely open, and then gently press the C-VHS tape into the adapter. As you press it down the tape cover will open, and you will feel a slight click on both sides of the tape as it fits into place. If the plastic cover will not close then the tape is not seated in the adapter completely. Then SLOWLY but firmly close the plastic cover. As you close the cover a lot of things happen. The force you provide causes all the mechanical things to happen inside the adapter, grabbing the tape in your cassette and pulling it out into the front of the adapter and getting it ready to play properly. Sometimes you may hear a sound like a gear slipping as the cassette unwinds some tape. That is normal. Once the cover is totally closed you are ready to insert the tape into the VCR and play it normally. (Hint: If the tape is very old and plays badly, sometimes fast forwarding to the end and rewinding back to the beginning will help re-tension the tape properly.) To take the tape out of the adapter, reverse the process. SLOWLY open the plastic cover, which pulls all the extra tape back into the C-VHS cassette and gets it ready to remove. Make sure the cover is totally open and the cassette won't hit it, then push the tape up and out of the adapter. There are two holes on the bottom of the adapter to make it easy to remove. Just apply gentle, even pressure to both sides and pop it up and out of the adapter. I realize this sounds like a lot to remember, but once you do it a couple of times you'll see how easy it really is. The big thing is just to move slowly to give all the gadgets inside the adapter a chance to work properly and smoothly.

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But if you still want to know, the answer is "no". This is not a tool to transfer or import clips from one format to another. You will have to first convert your VHS movies into digital format before you can use this software for editing.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

We were excited to transfer home video (VHS) to DVD. However, the dubbing stops everytime there is a break when the tape goes from one subject to the next. Sometimes there is static on the VHS where we linked tapings together on one VHS or a few blank seconds. The only thing that has worked is to reset the dubbing every few minutes when it stops dubbing, but that's a lot of time and work. We have to sit there and "babysit" the tape. Is there any way around this that we can put the tape and DVD in and have it dub from beginning to end????

You are so welcome. I have copied almost 75 vhs tapes and haven't had a single problem. The downside is that when I start the movie, I end up stopping what I am doing so I can watch it while it records. Have fun!

I have that 6 hour "cat sitter video" vhs tape from 1999 and I have not found one to match it as it is one that keeps my brood calm all day while I was at work. So how does this dvd play over and over if you are not there to restart? My vhs is starting to drag and Radio Shack wants a $100 plus to put it on DVD and it would be on 4 DVDs not like one VHS tape.
