 WARNING--WONT' WORK WITH WINDOWS 7 March 9, 2010
D. Kaiser (Jamestown, RI USA)
This product is still being marketed by the manufacturer for $99.00 . Here at Amazon it's $89.00 I saw a special offer and bought it from an outfit in Carrollton, Texas for $25.00 . I tried to use it with my 7-year old Windows XP computer and it froze the computer. I called the manufacturer's customer service and they pointed out that my computer didn't have quite as much memory as the product called for. There was some talk about my buying a new computer, which I needed anyway. So I went ahead and bought one (and I'm very happy with it.)
br / This is a much more powerful computer running Windows 7. But once again the machine wouldn't work probably. So I called customer service again and they said it wouldn't run with Windows 7 and had no idea when, if ever, it ever would!!!! I strongly urge against buying this product. I also note that the Amazon listing doesn't warn customers that it won't work with Windows 7.
Does not work on 64 bit Vista March 8, 2010
Kirk Walker (Tacoma WA USA)
The drivers for this device will not load on my 64 bit Vista system. I cannot download updated drivers as the download link on the ion-video web site does not work.
br /The drivers will however load on my older computer.
br /This is a basic VCR that will work well enough for transferrign my home videos to digital format.
Saving Home VHS Recordings March 2, 2010
Twinman
If you have a library of home video on VHS, this device works very well for direct downloading for editing on your computer through the USB port. However, I would suggest that you use other software to burn and add titles/chapters to your DVD's. In addition, tracking of the tape is an issue at times on this unit. Overall, it works o.k for the price. I don't get RF signal interference noise recorded on my downloaded soundtrack, which is and has always been a problem with the shielding of VCR's. If you live near a radio station tower, you know the drill!!
Save VHS Tapes to PC March 2, 2010
Kurt Everhart (Guntersville, AL USA)
I bought the Ion VCR to PC Converter hopefully to copy many of my VHS tapes to my PC and then choose which ones I wanted to copy to a DVD. Some of the VHS tapes are as old as 20 years old. They still play reasonably well on a VCR, however, when I put one of the tapes in the Ion converter and start copying to my PC, I get mostly snow and garbled sound. The tracking buttons did not to help the situation. I was able to copy a couple of movies over but they were from newer tapes. I tried to clean the heads with a cleaning cassette but that did nothing. The concept for copying the tapes is good and the software is very easy to load and use, however I am very disappointed as to how poorly the converter works. If you have old tapes to copy, I don't recommend this product.
 Satisfied Customer! March 1, 2010
Elizabeth Fisher (Baton Rouge, LA United States)
I purchased the ION VCR 2 PC converter so I could transfer my old VHS tapes to DVDs. The unit arrived double boxed and very well packaged from JR. Setup on my Windows XP Professional SP3 was quick and flawless, and I was soon converting my tapes to DVD. The quality of the DVD is about the same as the original VHS.
br /
br /The software is intuitive and I quickly learned how to use it by exploring the menus. This unit does what it promises and I'm pleased with the results, given the age of the VHS tapes (up to 25 years old). I would buy it again.
