The VCR did not track well with any of my tapes. Fortunately the machine has an "other" setting, so I hooked up our VCR to the machine and played it through the VCR2PC, and after just a few false starts got some really good quality DVDs. It works with all the videos on the computer including the Windows Movie maker videos so I can give gifts of DVDs to friends. I just don't understand why they put such a poor quality VCR on a product with such a good premise.
I had home videos from an old 1999 JVC video recorder. The tapes were small and you had to use a special holder that fits into a vhs player. It worked really well with the ION. I wish I could've used my MAC but my laptop ended up doing just fine.
It takes up a lot of memory.
The Ion definitely does what it says: converts VHS (and SVHS) to digital. The original footage on your hard drive does NOT change. The editing tool is very rough (no transitions or fine tuning), and you need to burn the edited version onto disc in order to share it online or otherwise. With one tape, despite saving the edited version, I lost all of my changes when I closed the program. However, the picture and audio is crystal clear. I plan on using it quite a bit with VHS and my camcorder videos.

This product is very useful and very easy to use. I can clip out the parts that I don't want converted onto the DVD, to make kids able to watch video's. I only wish it was able to let me insert chapters or a menu at the beginning like a regular DVD would.

I'm converting all my treasured VCR tapes to DVD which cuts down on storage room alot! And I can donate the tapes to a worthy cause. Double payoff!

the product screams "easy to use" and in some ways it is. but dispite the obvious effort to make user friendly it is very difficult to find out how to do certain things or even IF you can do those things. basically it looks easy and simple but that only applies to a couple of functions .. . but understand they are the key functions . . .after that .. good luck.
Used this product to download VHS home movies to my computer to save memorable moments in creating my family history. Instructions for use were simple and direct.

I love how easy it is to use. Setup was very easy. I used it just for the basics to transfer VHS to DVD, but the product has so much more to offer, editing and cutting, etc.

I really wasn't so sure about this item when I read the reviews before purchasing it, I was kind of like , "there has to be some kind of catch" , well the joke is on me.
Within about a weeks time after getting the product we were able to transfer all our VHS tapes to digital format , very time consuming it was but like I said , it only took us about a week.
I really don't have any complaints about this product at all , it was very easy to set up and get started and the instructions are very easy to understand.

It does not read some vhs tapes properly. Its slow because the tape has to play it would be nice if you could fast forward the tape and have it pick up information that way.

The Ion VCR to PC was extremely easy to use. Install the software,connect the VCR and you are converting old tapes. I converted all my old 8MM and VHS Tapes to digital files. Great Value!

Player is decent and does its job. The software is functional, however trying to find the setting for recording method (SP, EP, SLP) is buried in the Video Storage section and not in either of the two general settings where I seem to always look first.

Simple and straightforward

IT was so quick and easy to set up, easier than trying to program my dvd recorder to record a program. I have copied my tapes and am now offering to copy tapes for my family. Easy, no hassle, quality of dvd produced is just fine. I would recommend to anyone who has a library of tapes they want to turn into dvds.

VHS tapes of vacations, family events, even old films or TV shows are fun to watch and share with family and friends. But old tapes fade and damage easily, and VCRs to play them are really hard to find. This recorder lets you reclaim your memories on tape before they are lost, and convert them to digital files you can watch and enjoy again and again.
