"Excellent - Concise - Free"
Version: Golden Video VHS to DVD Converter 1.13
Pros
Works as advertised; Simple install; Simple interface; simple controls. Basic hue/sat/contrast controls are adequate. Choose DVD files or video files (mp4, avi, or wmv).
Cons
Simple controls=not much adjustment.
Summary
Lost my Roxio EasyVHSToDVD cd, glad I found this instead of paying another $50. NCH gets the job done long as you have the USB dongle and its driver - thankfully GV detected my Roxio device. Works on my on XP and Win7 PCs and 1 Vista laptop, so it plays well with others! Audio records as expected, in sync & complete. Interface is so simple I'm not sure what folks need from a "Help" function; there aren't that many controls to adjust to begin with. Anyone needing to convert to formats other than mp4/avi/wmv, or need deeper controls to generate files can use FormatFactory or HandBrake (both free). This is good stuff.

"Cute interface - buggy program"
Version: Golden Video VHS to DVD Converter 1.13
Pros
Very simple wizard interface; I wish all capture programs were this easy to follow.
Cons
Multiple blue-screens and lockups while running this program.
Summary
After spending some hours trying to get this program to run without crashing my entire system, I simply gave up and will be looking elsewhere.
NCH say on their site:
We make this software free with the hope you will like it so much you might come back and try some of our other many other programs.
Sorry NCH, but if this the standard of software you use to entice people into paying for your other programs, then I foresee only bankruptcy in your future.
Bottom line: don't touch this software if you value your system's stability - the support forum for the software is full of complaints and they seem to have closed it to further posting. -
"Doesn't work"
Version: Golden Video VHS to DVD Converter 1.13
Pros
Video comes through
Cons
Audio stops coming through when you move the wizard past the capture setup screen. When one hits record it makes like it is but nothing actually records after the first second. Also, instructions are very poor and are incomplete.
