Preserve your most precious memories for future with the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac. The software allows you to transfer video from VCRs and other analog camcorders like VHS, Hi8, and V8 to DVD format. The highly versatile Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus software lets you capture video material and then provides ways to either burn it to a DVD or transfer the content to a PC and, from there, upload what you have to YouTube.

Tech support is nothing but a run around, they basicall have you revamp your whole computer which you shouldn't have to do. They keep having you do this and do that until you get fed up and tell them to forget it and trash their junk. I have DVDEXPRESS that is 6 or 7 years old and it does a mush better job.

Another note: my TV is hung on the wall and I will need to take it down to access the panel you identify in the illustration above. It's going to be difficult and I'd only want to do this if it will help take a step in the right direction.

These guys do a good job Then it is simple to import the DVD to iTunes and keep the DVD as a backup at some off site location. If you want to convert non HD older video formats yourself the best device I have found s a DV camera. All DV cams have a firewire output that plugs directly into most Macs. (Newer Macs needs a FW to Thunderbolt adaptor.) Most DV cams have an analog input for composite video and will pass that through to the FW output (AK 'Sony iLink output) The result files are large because DV does not use inter frame compression. But the files are higher quality then VHS can produce so there is no loss. Find a good DV cam. The are way-cheep now because everyone wants HD.

I've never experienced an audio/video sync problem, but a couple of my VHS tapes didn't track well, and the video jumped around and had horizontal noise bands. I might take those to a video service and see if they can be cleaned up. The other method I used was connecting my VHS deck to an old DVD recorder, burning DVDs (it doesn't hurt to have backups), and using Handbrake to create MP4 files from the DVDs. If you use Handbrake, your MP4 files likely will have horizontal 'jaggies' due to interlacing. You need to turn on a variable comb filter setting. I'm not near my Mac, and I can't remember what that setting is.

I have all the cables but can't figure it out. VHS rca --> SONY camcorder firewire out ---> MBP ---> iMovie or FCP X. Does anybody remember or how can point me to a youtube video that explains it? I've searched and can't find anything. Also if anybody knows which highest quality setting I should set it at would be great. I'm assuming saving as DV is over kill?

In the original VHS video, that break from one scene to another is also one where the recording is slightly garbled as it is transitioning. The software seems to try to 'help' by inserting a short green screen break between the scenes. Buy outlook for mac 2016. Every point at which the Roxio software inserts this green screen, the audio gets a tiny bit more delayed because it also introduces an audio silence that is a bit longer than the green screen.

I'm not sure if this is the *exact* same model, but it looks almost identical. I only have two speakers: There is a red/white cord that runs from the TV (#9 on the above illustration from Oct. 14) to the Bose system -- specifically, the cords go like this: 1. Red/yellow cords go from TV (#9) to the silver book-shaped unit (see the Bose photo link in this post). The silver unit connects to the subwoffer 3.

Tsantee- I just purchased this product from Best Buy and don't plan on returning it. You have been a lot of help, but I didn't read your post until after I had converted several tapes already. I just converted them and put them on an external hard drive in QT format. I did not play them after converting them to check sound initially.

I'm not sure this makes a difference if you're starting with VHS quality anyway. But at least the audio is synchronized. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.8.5. Tsantee- I just purchased this product from Best Buy and don't plan on returning it.

I have an old Sony DV camcorder and could have saved myself some money. To the OP: I've done what you've done using a couple different methods.

This is probably the easiest way for me to hear the noise because it doesn't compete with the tape's audio. While the VHS is paused, if I unplug the red/white cords from the Roxio USB device, the ringing remains. But if I leave the red/white plugged in and unplug the S-Video cable from the Roxio USB device, the ringing stops and (obviously) the paused screen goes blank.

Not just tapes. Shipping with the possibility of losing them (albeit perhaps a small chance), makes me cringe.

This happened to EVERY single VHS transfer I've tried to do in the last few days. Is there any way to fix this? I'd appreciate it!

The latter requires a fast hard drive and most Mac's don't have fast hard drives. You may be able to correct audio sync after capture using QT Sync which is freeware. I am attempting to trf VHS to DVD like most all of you and am having a delay in my audio. I have read the tips and seen the headache after headache this is causing. Roxio is NOT the only product out there and they provide no support!!!

I don't have the Elgato device, but I do have the aforementioned Canopus, which does the same thing. It has a FireWire output to connect to my Mac, and RCA and S-Video inputs for my VCR. I capture my video to iMovie, because I plan to edit some of it eventually. It takes a long time, and the files are huge, but big hard drives are cheap, and I figure I might as well have editable files. I use Handbrake to create MP4 files for iTunes.

These aren't like a hard drive or watch or anything else that can be replaced. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Keebler. I think I'm going to be doing this soon. I need a hobby.

A lot of different adapters I know but the end result was simply superb considering the age of the tapes and being VHS. If you don't get the pass through working then I would recommend the Canopus 110, I bought one of these a few weeks ago to get video from VHS-C camcorder tapes to my iMac. I used a S-VHS deck with a VHS-C convertor cassette and a SCART in/out to give me S-video and audio left/right into the Capopus. The Capopus then connects via Firewire 400 to the Mac which I managed with a Neet 400/800 adapter and Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 connector. A lot of different adapters I know but the end result was simply superb considering the age of the tapes and being VHS. Click to expand.The Canopus is a great tool for ingesting tapes.

Hope that helps! Well -- the USB port didn't solve the problem. I still get the ringing noise. I just tried using another Mac and it didn't help either. Any other tricks up your sleeve??? I also just re-tried the sound on my TV, to make sure I didn't miss the ringing noise when I first tried, and I am certain that there is no problem with the sound when the red/white cables are attached to the TV's Bose speaker system. The ringing is definitely coming from the S-Video cable.

Keep at least three copies of each file and you need the data at two different physical locations. This is the dead minimum, I'd go with more. But really you need the off-site backup. I'm trying to transfer VHS tapes to my MBP via either a Sony DCR-PC1000 or Sony HVR-A1U and I've completely forgot how to use the pass through method.

Roxio Video Capture product should capture analog video without any out of sync issues. Thanks, Bronco. Hi, what you're saying sounds like a solution but I expect Roxio's s/w and h/w to work out of the box. Roxio Video Capture product should capture analog video without any out of sync issues. Thanks, Bronco I don't have any audio sync problem when using the Medium quality setting with Roxio Video Capture. This setting captures a high-quality h.264 video whereas the high quality setting captures using the Apple Intermediate Codec.

I bought the Elgato USB Video Capture device that connects my old VCR to my PC via RCA. The tapes are playing fine and Elgato converts the file into an MP4 which is perfect for iTunes. Here's the issue: Some of my tapes are 2 to 3 hours longs and I noticed that any converted videos that are longer than 30 minutes, the audio and video become out of sync. Is there a setting in Elgato that I can adjust to get the video/audio in perfect sync for long videos or am I using the wrong equipment? Again, my goal is to preserve old VHS tapes and leave them in iTunes for playback on AppleTV.

Thanks for the tip. I hooked up my VCR to my TV. I don't know where to plug in the cord for the picture, but I do have a red/white hook-up, so I was able to hear the sound from the VHS tape. There is **no** high pitch noise when I play the VHS on my TV. I have a Bose sound system from years ago that's still in great shape; I put my ear right against the speaker and the sound comes through fine. That means it's. Another note that might be important: If I have Roxio open on my Mac and pause the VHS, I can still hear the high pitch noise.

Had they done that I think users would have understood they weren't sacrificing quality to capture as h.264. I think it's nuts to capture using AIC in any case. I recently purchased 'Easy VHS to DVD for Mac' version 2.0.1 and experienced a slight delay in the audio -- less than a second, but noticeable enough to be unacceptable. I contacted Corel using my free one-time support contact and they told me to download version 1.0.5 and try it instead. I clicked on the link in their email, downloaded and installed, and it works, i.e., no audio delay. This older software version creates MPG recordings, while the newer one creates MOV.

Another note: my TV is hung on the wall and I will need to take it down to access the panel you identify in the illustration above. It's going to be difficult and I'd only want to do this if it will help take a step in the right direction. Also -- Thanks for all of the advice you've been giving me. I really appreciate it and hope this all leads of some kind of fix!

Then you give the DV file to either Handbrake of Apple's 'Compressor' and wait a few hours. If it were me and I cared about the footage I could edit and color grade scene by scene before comprising. Maybe run an image stabilization filter and clem up any audio problems. Click to expand.Great suggestion, and one I wish I'd thought of before I bought a Canopus ADVC-55 several years ago.

For work then shipped back. Then again, to me personally, these are family memories.

• No converted video library management. If you record a movie and forget to ‘Send to iMovie’ or ‘Send to QuickTime,’ you're stuck.

Edited October 14, 2016 by Ryan S. I have a smart TV -- an Android. Is there a yellow outlet on this type of TV?

Edited October 9, 2016 by Ryan S. I think I know the sound you're talking about, and my suspicion is the power on your USB port. If the 5V power has any switching noise from the power supply, it can come through the Roxio Capture Device, I've heard it. So, if you have another USB port, try that. If that doesn't work, you could try, no guarantees this will help, a powered USB hub. It will have it's own power supply, and if the problem is the power from your Mac, then that may isolate it enough to clean up your signal.

In that case I suggest going to the Roxio Software Updates page and download the latest Easy VHS to DVD Capture application and use that instead. Easy VHS to DVD Capture seems to solve the Roxio Video Capture audio sync problem, but Easy VHS to DVD is not nearly as featured. It doesn't let you designate the 'save to' destination (defaults to the Movies folder) and there are no Trim options. Does anyone have a solution to get audio in sync with Roxio Video Capture?

Also -- Thanks for all of the advice you've been giving me. I really appreciate it and hope this all leads of some kind of fix! Before I answer the above questions, tell us how (be specific) you have got your Bose sound system hooked up to your TV? Below is a link to a photo of what my Bose system looks like.

Measurements: Approx. 9.5'L x 3'W x 14.5'H Weight: Approx. Inputs: Video - Composite video (RCA) and S-Video (mini-DIN); Audio - Stereo audio (RCA) Power Source: High speed connection via USB 2.0 port Material Composition: Plastic, metal and paper Country of Origin: China; disc made in USA System Requirements Processor: Macintosh® computer with a Dual Processor PowerPC™ G5, or Intel® processor Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 Media Player iMovie HD, '08, or '09 Storage: 512MB RAM and 15GB hard disk space Graphics: 1024x768; DirectX 9 compatible graphics card or higher Optical Drive: Recordable drive required.

I only came across this when initially digitising analogue Video8/Hi8 into DV or Digital8/MiniDV, the machine was default to 12 bit, and my software was looking for 16 bit, resulting in a delay. Once I'd changed to digitising to 16 bit Audio, the problem went away. What are the Audio Settings for Roxio Video Capture/Easy VHS to DVD Capture? Luckily I can digitise any analogue video with the JVC SR-VS30, although I did note that my version of VideoGlide which uses a an EasyCAP USB device to encode S-Video/Composite Video & Stereo Audio also had a difficulty with sound delay capture, but the software settings to VideoGlide could be altered to capture in 16 bit, so its possibly a default setting for Quicktime on Macs to look for 16 bit audio? What is the name Roxio gives the application that is doing the recording? Mine is called 'Easy VHS to DVD Capture' but recent purchasers are saying theirs is called 'Roxio Video Capture.' If it is the latter there are others reporting an audio sync problem.

No need to convert to DVD. Because I'm not expert in this kind of stuff, I'm not looking to edit or use 3rd party software for post production or anything like that. Just a simple 'press play' on the VCR and 'press record' on the computer. If Elgato isn't going to work for audio syncing, which is?

That is a big joke. Problems sinse day one. Wouldn't install on one computer at all. Finally installed but only records for bout 10 second and the shuts down computer and makes the disc unusable. Video is jumpy, streaky, and of poor quality.

If the tapes are important to you, then it's money well spent. Click to expand.I did a Web search and found several posts by people who are experiencing the same problem with the Elgato Video Capture device, but nobody was able to offer an explanation or a solution.

If a video doesn't have many of these, the 'easy' way of avoiding the problem is to stop recording, then start again with a new recording beginning with the next scene. Since I typically introduce transitions, titles, etc between scenes, this does work. Still, it's a giant pain in the butt that this problem has existed so long.
