ClearClick VHS to DVD Kit for PC & Mac - USB Device, Software, Instructions, & Tech Support - Capture Video from VCR, VHS, Hi8, Camcorders, Gaming Systems

I had a slight issue with start up and tech support was very quick to resolve it.

Worked great. Came with free software that was intuitive. I copied old family tapes to hard drive (20 years worth) Best part is the option that it's stops when the tape goes "blank" for a specific amount of time. So those 120 minute tapes with 45 minutes of actual footage... set it up and go do something. It will stop on its own.

Setup was easy I installed the drivers and I am using OBS as the video capture software. This product provides its own video capture software, but I did not install it. ClearClick VHS to DVD operates at a lower resolution than I want which is why I gave it a 4 star rating. It does work well to capture video at this lower resolution.

Bought in March 2021 and first used it in September 2021 to digitize our wedding video for an anniversary gift I was creating. The VHS video was from 1991 so I assumed the poor quality was either the old tape or the old VCR even though it played on a TV just fine. First thing that struck me was that the original video (filmed in color) only transferred in B&W. With time short I did my best to create an anniversary video to present to my wife and left it at that, with some disappointment in the quality of the product. Last weekend I decided to dedicate a few days to digitize all the VHS tapes of family memories that I hadn't done (10 tapes) or had done. Same issue (B&W instead of color) and blurry image. So I borrowed a VCR from a neighbor and bought a head cleaner. Cleaned the heads on both VCRs, no better. Tried three different PC's (one laptop and two desktops running Win 10 + Win 11). Tried several different video capture softwares. Still, no better. Finally ordered an RCA-to-HDMI converter and used a Magewell capture device I bought for doing live video with HDMI-to-USB. That switchover along with using a better video capture software took care of all issues I encountered with this product and its inferior software; got good color, clear images, and good sound. I can only surmise that this product was a waste of money and a waste of nearly a whole day of futzing around. Too late for return so that's that. Moral of the story, don't wait to find out it the device doesn't work for you and lose out on getting a refund. The only good that came from this was that the software company immediately sent me a license code when I explained I had upgraded my PC (true) and needed to reinstall the software. But what's the use in that if the device is lousy? Maybe I was one of the unlucky ones, but take my advice and don't wait for the disappointment.

Everything about this product's packaging, promises, quality, and ease of use is right on the money. Very impressive and EVERYTHING needed is included. The only problem I am having with the converter is that the voice track does not track with the picture. Sometimes where it is barely noticeable but at other times the two are way off. It is a shame because it is a great product. However, with this flaw, it renders the product useless and a dud.

The item is exactly as advertised and arrived on time. Hooked it up and needed almost no instruction. Almost idiot-proof and if this idiot can use it, anyone can! Works great with either Windows Media Player or Quicktime Player. Definitely enjoying this!

I was impressed with the tech support and the system is affordable, but the system has problems. I was sent a second system to see if it worked any better, but it still had the same problems to a lesser extent, with VHS conversion. When recording from VHS, the video sound does not always match the video capture, the color is not steady, and when the color disappears I get rainbow colored horizontal lines. The system is easy to use, but the quality of the resulting digital video was discouraging. I have not tried it with my 8mm film, maybe it will fare better. The VHS video plays perfectly on my TV screen just not on the digital conversion. But it is affordable and you get what you pay for.

I was digging through boxes in my garage and found one filled with old VHS and 8mm cassettes. I wanted to transfer these tapes to digital and I ordered the ClearClick kit to accomplish this. I set up the software that you download online. It was pretty straightforward. I plugged the cord into my computer and video playback device and got to work. I was able to save hours of precious family memories onto my computer's hard drive. The only issue I had with the software is that it would stop the transfer before the videotape was finished. This was relatively rare and I was able to work around it. I would recommend this device to those wanting to digitize their videotapes.

BUENO

The idea is sound… I’m not that tech savvy but realized fast… garbage Spent a lot of time .. only to be able to transfer to digital for 5 lousy bluddy minutes at a time… more recording time would have meant more $… hire a pro don’t waste time

Se supone que permite convertir usando el programa que NO ESTA INCLUIDO. ¿cómo convierto el video?

I flowed the instructions and it asked me to download some software for the Mac from the website. I selected the download link and it took me to a site expecting me to buy some software. To me this is misleading. I definitely do NOT recommend this product for a new Mac M2
