Pros & Cons
Pros
Vidbox video conversion is the 4th product i have purchased for the job of converting our home movies from vhs to dvd. The converter box is usb powered. It first converts them to mpg, but then allows you to convert the mpg to mp4.
Did a few test runs and seemed to go smooth. Works great and i can see clearer quality difference. Overall pleased with the product.
I'm a sysadmin and pretty technically oriented, but this is something a company should be helping with. The software is easy to install. Customer service is responsive.
Cons
Video quality is very low that i decided to stop after just 2 tapes. Mpeg-2 is easy enough to compress to mp4, but examining the video that is captured shows footage that is of significantly less quality that the original vhs. Vid box is trash. No vid... Read More
It's pretty busy, but muddled through. Wasted a lot of time with this one.
Device is faulty. Tried double-clicking on it. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice.
When i plug it in to a playback device all what i can receive is the audio, and a black screen for the video. The picture color is off and the audio has a poor quality and it sounds like everyone is in a bathroom.
For $70 the only thing you can do with this is convert the video. The product feels cheap and the packaging also feels cheap. Program is not worth the hassle.

They don’t have the technology or even the mechanical ability as when they were first manufactured
I got everything hooked up and running but noticed the video and audio quality were choppy
Price
For the price you can not beat it
I was skeptical at first but it was worth the price and now all my vhs childhood memories are digital
This is a big problem with the low cost diamond video product that made it useless to me
I had one of these but lost it so 70 for a new one

The accompanying software for the vid box is pretty straightforward but it does take a little bit to figure out how to use it
I was saving old vhs videos to my computer within 45 minutes of opening the package
Competitiveness
I recently decided to make another attempt at transferring the video to digital and this time i tried vidbox
Overall this version is better than the honestech 8
I have svhs tapes going back to 1988 and vhs tapes going even earlier
