Looking at the DVD bitrate we can see the final DVD is at an acceptable 4914kbps. Kind of an inconvenience.īut if you have the time and maybe you are only transferring one cassette every few days or one a day then yes the VIDBOX is an ideal solution.
It has to be done all in the one sitting. What is strange though, is that you can save the MPEG file after the capture process, but you cannot add the MPEG file later if you want to burn to a DVD at a different time.

Let me tell you now, if you have an external DVD burner (as is the case for the test PC I used for this VIDBOX review), you have to make sure that the DVD burner is plugged in before you start capturing any footage.īecause the software will not see the USB device attached if you’ve already captured a video. Video Conversion for PC – Burning a DVDįinally we have the option for burning a DVD and this is where things could certainly be improved upon.
Just a shame again over the lack of output options. Using the test footage and converting it to MP4, I have to say the quality is decent. Output folder can be changed to another location if you wish. So resolution can be increased and video quality selected as best and that’s all the options you will get.

That being said, if you’re transferring to DVD those are the frame rates DVD players use anyway.Ĭonvert to MP4 is the second option allowing you to alter the file size, but in selected increments. There is no option for frame rate to be changed in any part of the program before recording, which is a shame. The above example shows the test footage is recorded as an MPEG format at 25FPS. If you open the file location, a window will open where you can copy the file or rename it if desired. Unless of course you want to redo and capture the tape again. So for example, you had home videos that may be two hours long but find out after the recording it was only one hour, you’re stuck with the excess footage you don’t want. The monitor will let you playback that digital file but you cannot edit it. Review and Publish options are straight forward. Video Conversion for PC – Converting to MP4 Once you have completed the recording, simply clicking the next arrow will bring you to the converting options. The right hand side is where you can change the file name, choose the video aspect ratio (VHS playback is in 4:3) and finally the RECORD and STOP buttons. Turning the volume down does not interfere with the recording volume. VIDBOX – Recorder OptionsĬlicking on the next step will bring you to the actual recorder.Īlong the left hand side of the program is the monitor which allows you to watch the capturing and the playback. But to be honest even if you were to do that, you should always check on what’s happening with the recording from time to time. I guess their philosophy is if you leave it running and walk away at least it will stop recording. It doesn’t increase or decrease quality so what’s the point? I think that option is pointless because the amount of times I’ve asked customers how long do you think the video goes for? There are times when they replied they weren’t sure. You get sound but no picture.īy clicking the next step you will see an option allowing you to choose the length of time the recording will take.
This device will record VHS,VHS-C and Video 8.īut it will not do Digital 8 or Mini DV. So if you were recording from your old videos let’s get this straight. This is really just a diagram explaining where to find the composite connections on your chosen device.

There is an option that will show you How to Connect. VIDBOX conversion for PC has a sleek (and again here’s that word) simplified look about it. For this review I’m going to only cover the video transfer options.
It could’ve been added to the actual video conversion software as their earlier VHS to DVD programs had these options.Ī drop down window will allow you to change from NTSC, various PAL formats or SECAM.Īha! The actual software. Why this has to be a separate program doesn’t make sense to me. One thing that is definitely recommended is to open the Change Input Video Standard.
