 worthwhile VHS-to-DVD converter, 2008-07-03
I find this to be a wonderful product. I concur with observations from other positive reviewers here. I think this product is worthwhile to buy, install, and use, even given apparently dropping prices in stand-alone machines that do VHS to DVD converting. For one thing, those machines are still quite expensive (compared to this) from what I've seen so far. For another, I like the flexibility that the software gives me. Further, it doesn't take up any space.
This software is relatively cheap and arrived cheaply and quickly. It updated its own drivers for me. It has taken some fumbling to learn how to use and it still can be tricky -- moving around USB ports, for instance, seems to trip it up and I often need to reboot and start again. But it's otherwise fairly straightforward to use.
A couple things to give in mind:
The review "It's Mainly about the Hardware" has some valid points. I had to upgrade my CPU to get over 2.5 GHz. I'm not sure how it would have performed if it went slower (the software has different resolution settings for slower CPUs). But I know I would not try it without a least 2.5 GHz, and at least DDR RAM.
Online registration. You need to be connected to the Internet for the software to load and install. That means you have to have a working and functioning Internet connection. It also means it goes through registration to that particular PC. So you cannot, presumably, go and load the software on another machine. Which is only fair because the software is not that expensive.
So I'm glad I got this instead of a standalone machine and I look forward to many hours of rediscovering old home movies!
 VHS-2-DVD 3.0 Deluxe does not live up to the hype, 2008-06-29
Overall, I found the quality from the VHS to HDD poor. The process of copying the HDD file to a DVD did not work. Support never replied to my email asking for help. I am asking Amazon for a refund.
In Need Of Repair, 2008-06-24
VHS To DVD is properly the worst of the capture edit software I have used.
There is much freeware that is better. I really wasted my money on this one.

VHS to DVD Deluxe software review, 2008-06-19
VHS to DVD Deluxe was easy to setup and start using immediately. I have been very pleased with the capture feature and editing feature.
Did not work at all, 2008-06-15
This goofy software installed as a "trial version" only and constantly prompted me with nag screens to register after I'd already done so. After several attempts at installing, it only gave the "repair" option. Finally, after launching the "trial version" and getting a window to open, it didn't recognize the USB device and prompted me to install what it would not install.
