Each two hour tape took up 25 GB of disk space in the DV file format. I set up my VHS deck in my computer room, connected the video and audio outputs to the ADVC-300 inputs, and sent the output to my dual 2.0 GHz Mac G5 tower’s Firewire port (still running Mac OSX 10.4), and into my copy of iMovie HD (from iLife ’06). I had planned on doing this almost two years ago, and found a superior (and expensive!) analog to digital video converter, a Canopus ADVC-300, which I was able to find at a very acceptable price on eBay.
There were, however, 40-50 titles I wanted to keep and decided to put them on DVD. My collection of several hundred VHS tapes had to go. Over the last four months, when I unfortunately had a lot of time on my hands (a victim of the current economic unpleasantness, since resolved, and I am again very happily employed), I decided I needed to regain some storage space in my increasingly cramped townhouse. That said, the last thing I wanted to do was start yet another review with: “I really wanted to like this product, but…” Double check to make sure that all of the connections are firmly in place and completely inserted.This review could have gone very, very badly, had it not been for Roxio’s excellent support website, and their intrepid PR person, who kept the dialog going when I was ready to wash my hands of the whole thing.Connect the two Audio Out connectors on your VCR to the audio adapter (red and white plugs) attached to your Roxio USB capture device.You can either connect via an RCA connection (yellow) or S-Video. Using the video cable provided with your VCR, connect the video Line Out connector on your VCR to one of the two video plugs on the Roxio adapter.Connect the Roxio audio and video adapter (has the red and white cables) to the capture device.Using a hub or the USB connections on your keyboard or monitor may decrease performance. Note: Be sure to connect the USB Capture Device directly into the Mac. Connect the Roxio Video Capture USB device to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac with the included USB extension cable.If you have not purchased your cables yet, we suggest you use an S-Video cable for higher video quality. Also, you will need to supply your own audio and video cables to go between your VCR and the Roxio USB Capture Device.
