Can you use this to transfer a vhs video onto a flash drive?

Yes - it transfers the analog (VHS) recording into a digital file. It transfers to a computer, but from there you can drop it onto a flash drive.

According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

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.

I know this response is almost a year old but if anyone sees this can you tell me how I go about copying a personal VHS tape to a DVD. Thanks, billh347@gmail.com

Geez Carolyn, I have no idea. I needed it for a direct transfer from a Sony 8mm directly to my computer, so I can save it on a cd, and/or YouTube and omit the 8mm tape for viewing altogether. Sorry, I have zero idea about viewing a vhs tape to a computer monitor. Like I mentioned, I purchased this only to transfer my videos directly from my Sony 8mm to my computer to a current format omitting the 8mm/vhs. I never tried any other function.I found the info I needed before purchasing the video capture by Googling my question on GOOGLE.

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

Donna, did you ever find a solution to this? I want to transfer VHS tapes from my VCR/DVD combo machine as well!

Yes you can but with additional software. I transferred all my 8mm tapes (and VHS tapes) to DVD's using Honestech VHS to DVD 5.0.

I don't see why not - if you can back up files to a cd/dvd you can back them up to a flash drive.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

It is hard to answer this question directly since you are asking if you need something that does not and cannot exist. 'RCA' refers to a type of connector while 'USB' refers to a type of hardware-software interface. What you need is a device that converts audio and video to the USB standard required by VHS to DVD. I use a Honestech VIDBOX and I have always assumed that this was proprietary on the USB-software side although I realize now that I am not sure about this. Anyway, I would not attempt to use this software with anything other than a VIDBOX or some similar device that claims compatibility with the VHS to DVD software.

I purchased a device from Roxio to copy VHS tapes to my laptop and then to burn them onto a DVD, it's a connector and some software. It's pretty seamless, you can copy the tape directly to a DVD or copy it to your computer and then burn the disc. If you have an s-video connector that would be the best way to do it as the Roxio device supports it. I didn't have one but an ordinary cable works fine.

In most cases yes, but I have only used a limited group of old movie tapes that were already adapted to a usb input from my video camera equipment. My suggestion is that equipment like this is hard to say universally that it will work on every system, but it pretty basic in its operation as well as inexpensive, and worth a try if this is the application you are seeking.

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

As long as it is a VHS-C tape it should work. All those things do is stretch the tape out so that it will fit in a regular VHS player.

I do not store them and it does not appear to be ideally built for VHS format. You could do it but it would be space inefficient.
