I just bought THIS to convert my VHS tapes to DVD, because I don't have a video card that has any input ports. I'm amazed at how easy it is to use. I give it :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:. I highly recommend it.

Out of curiousity, how long does it take to copy 1 hour of VHS onto a DVD? Also, how is the quality with that device?

It takes as long as the video is just to copy it (1hour video=1hour copy), then even longer to burn it to a DVD (1hour video=1.5hours+ coding and burn time), total time was around 2.5-3 hours using a 4X DVD burner. As far as the burning part, it might not take that long to burn if I use different software. I'm using Sonic My DVD to burn them to the DVD+r so I can create menus, btw this doesn't come bundled with it. You may have faster results with the bundled software. I looked in to the software that came with it but I couldn't figure out how to create menus with it. I?ve only used it once so far and I plan on using it again in the morning. So far it has made a really good first impression. The quality of the video (this can be set at different levels 9MB/sec, 6MB/sec, 4MB/sec the higher the number the bigger the copy better the quality will be) is the same if not better than the VCR output when I play the DVD in a DVD console unit and I copied the movie at 6MB/sec.

BTW, this is not just for DVD's, you can also create VCD's with it also, it will just take more discs per video.

Here's more INFO about it. They also offer more products HERE, but the one I have works for me just fine.
