1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, July 10, 2006

Tomcat (chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Video quality is the poorest I've ever seen. Vhs copies of copies of copies are better. No audio during capture process. Editing is too complicated especially without a manual. The burning process doesn't work at all. Tech support can't even determine what thier own error codes mean. I broke my own first rule: NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM A COMPANY WITHOUT A PHONE NUMBER. Save your sanity and your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Program, December 29, 2006

This review is from: Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Wow, I have used a lot of different software programs for editing, copying etc. and Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe is the WORST. There are so many limitations, I am not sure where to begin. First off, you have to have your tape already set up exactly where you want to begin copying. There is no option to rewind or fast forward. Not a major issue, but it does complicate things. I agree with the other reviewers comment on the quality, it is very very poor. Honestly, if you can purchase a dvd camcorder, invest the money towards that and record everything straight to dvd. In recording two separate videos, this program crashed my computer numerous times. I am running a Pentium IV, 2.8 ghz and this program killed my computer. There are so many bugs in it, I would bet that not even Honestech VHS to DVD 25.0 Deluxe would have the kinks worked out. My recommendation to all is avoid this program completely. It is not worth the money at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work & crashes your computer too, January 1, 2007

By 

Jalber Alja - See all my reviews

This review is from: Honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

when i installed the software, it gives u a warning that it has it hasn't been approved by MSoft as being compatible to Windows XP. However, the instructions tell you to go ahead anyway, which I did. The result: my computer crashed and I cannot even uninstall the USB 2.0 VIDBOX software, which just wasted 1.0 MB space in my computer hard drive. This software does not work!!! Since I got it from Costco, at least I could return it and get my money back. Had I bought it from a different store, my $50+ would have been wasted. Do not buy this product. You might crash your computer too!!! I wanted to give this a zero star but the lowest choice is 1.
