This Video Converter Box ROCKS!!! September 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just bought a VCR 2 PC, and it rocks!!! I have all sorts of stuff on VHS that I've been dying to get onto my computer and digitize, and finally somebody came out with a converter box that does this very easily and quickly. This VCR is perfect. The software that's included is very straightforward, and does exactly what it says it will do. I was able to import my video and make some basic edits in Windows Movie Maker. It's not a bad little VHS player either. And you cant beat the price!

The ION Audio VCR 2 PC USB VHS Video to Computer Converter is a help but is still not the answer for clean reproduction of your old VHS movies. It will not let you backup old VHS tapes you own either.
This unit is better than nothing but needs improvement, including the software and directions.
 Stay Away From This One August 26, 2008

I bought this unit with high expectations. What a disappointment! First, the unit requires at least a 4 GHz machine to work at all - which is not stated anywhere online or in the literature. Next, the sound quality was terrible - clicks and pops everywhere - even when the tape wasn't playing. Even with a fast computer it dropped frames and really didn't have the kind of quality I expected in the finished product. Also the picture had snow (even with a movie tape that plays flawlessly on my VCR and plasma TV). The software is slow and hogs your machine, and editing is pretty much a joke. I returned the unit and will wait until something else that works comes along.
Beware the lack of software! May 21, 2008

I had been shopping around quite a bit for a way to transfer dozens of cherished VHS tapes to DVD. I found this product, and thought it would be a simple easy solution. Yikes! Was I wrong, big time. To begin, the installation was a gigantic pain. After consulting Ion tech support, and installing and uninstalling the software a couple of dozen times, I finally got my PC to talk to the box. OK, now we can get going! So, I loaded in some video, worked well. Then the big surprise... I wanted to edit my video using the Muvee Producer software, which the description says (twice!) is included in the package. SURPRISE!!! Muvee Producer is NOT INCLUDED with this purchase. I called up Ion to ask about this. The response was that Amazon and other dealers had the product description wrong, this software was not supported, and it didn't come with the unit.
This VCR2PC device came with the most basic of editing programs, and it did basically nothing. So, after fighting the unit for a week, finally getting it installed, I discovered no editing software was included. I shopped it back yesterday. Beware!!!
