KOHO VHS to DVD Recorder & Converter Machine - VCR/Camcorder/Tape/Player to USB Device/SD Card/HDD, Smart Phone WiFi to DVD/USB/SD/HDD Copy, Free APP Digital Converter【with 10 DVDs & AV Cable】

value for the money

This thing works. It's really easy to use and even if you can't figure it out on your own, the instructions are very clear. It's really easy to navigate through the menu once you turn it on. It's very nice that it comes with 11 empty DVDs that you can transfer old videos to. This really only works with videos because it can't even read pictures. I put an SD card in there that only had pictures and it wasn't even registering on the reader. The quality of the transferred videos is pretty good as well. The only thing that kinda isn't great, is that it only has a USB and HDMI port on top of an SD card slot. You would have to use your own cables to connect devices to it because it only comes with a power cable. And if you want to transfer footage from something like an old camcorder or other old devices, you'll most likely need an adapter which might not be that easy to find. Otherwise it's really good to have if you want to transfer old videos or record stuff right onto the provided CDs or your own hard drives.

ANOTHER UPDATE:I finally had time to try this. I happily made two DVDs from 2 8 mm tapes and was thrilled that I would be able to complete my project of making DVDs for my children of our 8 mm tapes. But when trying to do a third, the DVD didn’t burn. So I worked on this for hours. (I must interject here that it takes time to get it to work even on the two tapes I did sucessfulky transfer because the control buttons are not responsive. It takes a long time to turn the device on, then the record button doesn’t respond so you muss the first few seconds). I kept getting “Disk not ready”. But can’t find anything that would tell me what needs to be done to get the disc ready. All I’ve used so far are the disks that came with the recorder.I’m afraid that I must change my rating again back to one star - and it only gets that because the company tried to make things right and sent me a new recorder. Sadly, I can’t recommend anyone spend any money on a recorder that only works twice. It will cost you less money and heartache to bite the bullet and have it done professionally.UPDATE:While the product was less than satisfactory, the seller was GREAT. I got an email offering a full refund (which, of course, I expected, but still - to have the email was a nice personal touch.)Seller gets 5 Star. Too bad about the VHS converter.The seller offered me a new updated recorder which has arrived.I have not yet had time to try it but am hoping that it will do all it says it will do.In the meantime, the seller gets 5 stars for doing everything possible to make good.I bought this hoping to transfer home video VHS tapes to DVD for our grown children for Christmas. I saw this on Prime Day and thought this would be the answer.When it came, I was so excited to get started. I plugged everything in (I know how to do this - I've transferred lots of VHS to VHS so I know the proper connections) and did the set up as in the instructions. I was surprised at how lightweight the whole thing was but when I opened the tray to put in the first blank DVD I learned why. It is so cheaply made! The DVD has to be actually pushed down on a little disc which holds it in place. I was worried that I'd break the whole tray when I properly inserted the disc. But I told myself, "you get what you pay for."Okay, ready to go. But the screen never showed the VHS tape as the instruction book said would happen on page 8. I tried the set up again. carefully. On the menu I was careful to follow step 3 on page 7 (which seems a bit out of intuitive order). But the image of the "video source" was not doubling on the recorder's screen. I can't tell you how many times I repeated steps over and over again certain that I had done something wrong. Finally, I just hit record thinking that maybe something was wrong with the screen. The result was a DVD that had a blue screen recorded (exactly what was showing on the recorder's screen - so that was accurate at least - , not what we see when we play the VHS tape.)My initial thought of you get what you pay for is wrong in this case. I paid for something to record a VHS tape to a DVD. I didn't pay for something that would record a blue screen to a DVD so will return for a refund. I will look for a better product (even if lots more expensive) to accomplish the goal.

VHS to UBS: This format had problems. This was the reason I bought this device. Old movies to digital format. However, even after returning and replacing the device, it cut off after 1 hour, with 30 minute segments. It would not let me record anything over that, which is problematic for anything from family memories to a movie. I wanted to like this, it has potential, just not right for my needs.

This is a wonderful converter from old VHS videos to digital memories. Highly recommended. My hubby loves it.

I ordered this Koho/Clariview media recorder mainly to digitize some old VHS tapes. I have several that my late parents used to transfer old 8mm films (from the 50s and 60s) of our family to VHS, using an old 8mm projector to a screen, and a VHS camcorder to record them. I wanted to be able to play them on a computer, or other modern player, and be able to post them online.First, I loaded one if the 10 included DVDs into the player, hooked it up to a VHS player with the RCA cord, and proceeded to record the entire tape. Because the VHS tapes I'm recording have many glitches, I wanted to skip over those parts, but found that the recorder "pause" function did not work. I contacted the seller, and they responded that they disabled that function because it occasionally caused problems, and thought that most people didn't use it. I really would like to have that function, and they said they could make the old firmware available to me, but it may be difficult to install and/or use.So rather than pursuing that option (can of worms) I decided to move forward. I then tried to record from VHS to an SD card, using the media player SD card slot, and my own SD card. That went very smoothly, and I just fast forwarded the VHS tape when I got to the spots I wanted to skip over. After you're done recording to an SD card, it takes quite a while for it to burn, actually about 20 minutes in the case of 1 hour recording. So just let it keep burning, then eventually it will say "finished". One time when I reinserted the SD card to record another tape, it got stuck on reading the card. However I just powered the recorder off then back on with the card in place, and it resolved. Once you have the VHS tape recorded to an SD card, it's very easy to transfer to a computer, and editing can be done there if desired.One more function that didn't work was erasing the DVD. I tried that several times and it seemed like might be working, but it happened very quickly, and when I reinserted the DVD found that the videos were still there. Then I realized that (according to the product description page - there is no writing on the DVDs) the included DVDs are DVD-R (record only) so perhaps that function will work with a DVD-RW... and in fact the seller later confirmed that it will work with a DVD-RW.There are no speakers or headphone jack on the unit, but after recording I played the video files on my computer, and whatever sound was on the VHS tapes was recorded. I also found the recorded video quality to be pretty much the same as what I was recording, and the onboard screen worked well, making monitoring the recording process easy.The bottom line for me is that I found this recorder to be very useful. Yes, it has a few glitches, but overall it did what I wanted it to do, and in the future I can also record old non-copyrighted DVDs to other digital media, or digitize some more old VHS tapes, that I have quite a few of. I knocked one star off for the minor issues, but overall I believe this product is well worth the current asking price of around $200 after the coupon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Este producto sería bueno pero le pusieron un celular al lado y no sirve para transferir fotos a una usb yo lo hice y me decía que no era compatible su formato y lo tuve que devolver por lo demás se ve bueno
