i recieved this product it a matter of days. when i got it i quickly put one of my old vhs-c cassettes that have been stored away just waiting to be watched. Finally i got to see my familys home videos again, im so happy. this adapter is so much better then the one my aunt had which required batteries. just know that this adapter does use the 8mm cassettes.

I managed to save many home movies from eventual crumbling by converting my vhs-c tapes to dvd. Thank goodness there is a product out there to accomplish this.

This is the only adapter that I have found that works. You have to be very carefull to get the tape in the right place when inserting the VHS-C cartrige and there is a little lever that tends to get in the way, but with little effort it works just fine in the machine.

I have three or four vhs-c tapes that I want to convert to dvd. The item is very cheeply made and very flimsy to handle, but for the price I guess one can't expect much more. It cost more to ship it than the cost of the item itself. If you have a half dosen or so of vhs-c tapes you are looking to convert, I would say the item will last thru the process. But if you have several items to convert, do yourself a favor and invest in a better quality item that will stand up to the task. With this one you run the risk of it getting stuck into the tape recorder and then you'll have more problems then you bargened for.

I purchased this item to watch some old movies of my kids. I watched ONE tape and the unit stopped working. I tried everything I could to get it to work, but could not. When I finally thought I had it fixed, I put it in the VCR and it jammed the entire machine. Had to pry it out. Don't waste your money.

I almost didn't buy this as to the negative reviews. It works great for me. I have no issues fitting the tapes in at all. They fit perfectly and it works like it's advertised. I am wondering if the ones that don't fit are trying to stuff an 8mm tape in there?

The product works as promised. The mechanics are a little stiff putting the mini-cassette in the casing, but otherwise it plays our old movies just fine.

This adapter at first looked cheesy, but after using it, it works like a well oiled machine. I love it and needed it. Thanks !

An inexpensive tool that does the job. So far we have used it with about 10 videos. Those video tapes will not have to be transferred again:) Vendor delivered the adapter promptly. A "no-hassle" transaction. Thanks

what a great price I paid for this. I have been watching priceless vhs videos that have been useless fo ryears. I have watched 6 so far and it does a great job. I plan on recording to DVD but so far so good unlike the reviews I have read it fit perfect for VHS C videos
