Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I followed all instructions and it really works pretty easy. I did download the software from the website instead of using the included disc since many recommended that in the reviews. Easy setup to transfer over your old tapes. Like the title says. It’s great when it works. The only problem is I’d estimate it doesn’t work 30 percent of the time. It’ll be recording and somewhere before the end the video will freeze on a frame. The audio continues recording to your computer. I’m not going to set and watch it transfer a 2 hour tape so I go in occasionally to see if it’s still going. Sometimes it makes it all the way to the end. Sometimes it doesn’t. Then you just do it all again. I’ve tried starting with a fresh reboot of the Mac and make sure everything comes up and then do the setup and start record. It might do 2 tapes fine, it might freeze on the first one. I bought this one due to good reviews. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it if to transfer all your old family tapes over. I’ll just continue trudging through it and eventually get all my tapes done. It’s just be nice if I only had to transfer each tape one time.
