Great product, happy customer since 2020.
This product is solid. I bought this in 2020, and it still works. Can record to various format, up to 6~24 hours of recording at a time. It supports RGB and S-Video, up to 640x480 resolution. There's no lag at all in video playback and recording. The application is straight-forward to use as well. Just a solid product to turn it on, record it and forget it.

No muss, no fuss, it just works :)
This is the second device of this type that I had purchased to digitize VHS tapes, and it is by-far the better of the two and works exceptionally well. I am working with tapes from the 80's till the 00's and this little Vidbox device just keeps chugging along and helping me to preserve beautiful memories for years to come. I like the functionality of the app that you need to use to record the tapes onto your computer, I am using Mac OS Catalina. There is a small viewing window to watch the videos as you're digitizing but the window size is not able to be increased. Would be great if there was a volume control on the app as well so that I can still do other things as I digitize but that isn't a big deal. Would buy this again, the price tag is a bit higher but when you're dealing with otherwise forgotten memories, it's well worth the price!

Works on Mac.
Been meaning to get a device to archive all my old DV stuff for ages. Now I can, and now I have. Plug and play is fairly idiot proof. To be honest, I was amazed at how easily it worked. The software that you download (and register with a code) from their site is quite intuitive. Basically, you select your source and then you can preview the footage with a small window (double click to go full screen!) and then you can choose the length of the clip, or even just choose a start and stop point. The files get saved to a folder on your computer and then you can watch them with ease. I have not even needed to bring these into an editing program but I imagine it is very easy to do so; at the most you will need to convert the clips to a file that is readable by your editing software. In these modern times where everyone just digitizes and clouds stuff, physical media is nearly obsolete. So much to the point where I had to buy a power adapter for my DVCam deck, no idea where the original one got to. Though I have a fair amount of "finished projects" backed up in digital form, there were still some missing pieces on the tapes in the box. I now have the ability, if I chose, to dump ALL the footage onto external hard drive storage. The original footage is only DV so it takes up very little space. The price is a little high for a really small little device, but all those shoe box memories are priceless, right? If you're like me and haven't watched those old VHS or DV tapes in years, this is a nice stroll down memory lane. Consider the price it would cost to get these "professionally transferred" ...you'll be saving hundreds! Even with no computer savviness and even if you have to buy some old equipment to make it work, it is totally worth it. You get a lot more satisfaction (and privacy ;-)) doing it yourself.

Great when it works
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.

Great for converting VHS videos
This product works great with Windows 10 and 11 - none of the problems that there are with other products. Took me 10 minutes to set up and then I was off and running. Very easy to use. The only tricky part is that it uses the same output name for every file created on the same day, so be sure to rename the second one (and more) or it will overwrite the first one you did for that day.

Works great!
The Vidbox conversion device and software work great. I have converted over twenty 8mm Hi-8 video tapes. The quality is excellent and I have not had one problem. The software installation onto my Macbook Pro - simple and easy. No bugs. Connecting the Vidbox's hardware interface (the small white box) to the 8mm player and Macbook was simple. I'm using the Hi8 player SVideo connection to pull down a better quality video feed. The average file size for a 120 minute 8mm tape is 5 to 5.5 Gigabytes. The MP4 format plays well on my Apple and Window devices. I am a Nero Platinum user and their Recode tool is what I'm using to edit the "master" video file into chapters for viewing. The freeware version of Handbrake will do the same thing but since I own Nero I'll use it. When I play the finished video files on my computer or 4K HDTV the picture quality is excellent -- for a legacy video quality recording. The original camcorder recorded in stereo sound which was maintained through the conversion process. I tried two other "rated" products but they do not match up to the quality and ease of use of the Vidbox. There are better and more expensive solutions but I picked this one so I could get the job done. I have another 20 or so tapes to convert. I just hope the old 8mm player holds out.

Assolutamente l'antitesi di ergonomia , rapporto qualità prezzo PESSIMO, facesse almeno il suo lavoro . . . La scatola arriva tutta impacchettata fieramente , dotata di cavo RCA maschio-maschio (cortissimo) e 2 dischetti per il software ( per MAC e per WIN(zoz)) , software che è totalmente puzzolente , non fa nulla di speciale solo la conversione da MPEG a MP4 (e ovviamente il cattura schermo) , e per giunta non ti permette di editare il video in alcun modo, roba imbarazzante . . . Il vero fetore viene emanato dall'instabilità del software , dopo qualche ora di utilizzo "impeccabile" sparisce misteriosamente l'input video che si trasforma in uno schermo nero, chiudere il programma ,riavviare il computer ,resettare la cache e reinstallare il programma è COMPLETAMENTE INUTILE; disperato decisi di scaricare linstaller via internet scartando l'opzione lettore CD , tutto funzionava benissimo , solo che dopo poche ore solito fetente problema . . . SCONSIGLIATO , CON 15€ FATE EOBA MIGLIORE . . . Speravo che quei 115€ si traducessero in qualità ed affidabilità , invece. . . Per antonomasia: A GREAT WAY to WASTE MONEY

quelques déboires pour l’installation logiciel qui nécessite une recherche sur internet pour compatibilité avec la dernière version iOS sur Mac. Apres cela résultats très corrects et prise en main logiciel facile. Je recommande

This is a preliminary review based on trying it out today. Set up was simple. Download the program and drivers from the link provided in the paperwork - straightforward and uncomplicated. Attach the source device to the adapter and the adapter to the PC (in my case a laptop running Windows 10). I used the S video ports for the ancient Sony Handycam and the component cables for the equally ancient VHS player. Both displayed in the player on the laptop and played perfectly. My oldest home video was on a cassette from 1989, which was reproduced on the screen with surprisingly good quality. I also have home videos on VHS C and Hi 8 format, both of which played without a problem. I have not yet tried the various editing and trimming tools with the program but I am looking forward to spending the entire day tomorrow digitizing all of these precious memories. (I will most likely use the more advanced features in Powerdirector for editing) I will update the review as time and experience dictate but I do not foresee any issues at this point. I am very satisfied and have no hesitation in recommending this product at this juncture.
