What an awesome gadget!
This is so cool for digitizing your videos on VHS and other media. The instructions were a little lacking, but I finally figured it out, and we're off and running. The only glitch is that the Mini-SD card I have stopped clicking into its slot after a few uses, but I just clamp it into place and it works. I don't know if this is a problem with the card or the card slot itself, and I won't know unless I buy a new card.

I love this thing!
Love this thing! I have so many VHS tapes that I want to convert and this makes it so easy! Very simple to use. Small and compact so I can easily store it or carry it with me to the office. Now I don't have to buy all my Disney classics again.

Horrible instructions - wont save the file!
This product has lots of promise, but the instructions are absolutely horrible. Not intuitive. It shows that it is recording and saving but when I go to play it back, it says there is no file. There may be some secret, hidden answer to this problem, but it shouldn't be this difficult. It may be a good product, but with such lousy instructions, there is no way to use it. Very disappointed!
