I am running Fusion Version 1.1.2 (87978) on my iMac with Mac OSX 10.5.4. If I run everything in my BC partition native it works fine. I have tried it under Fusion in a non-BC Windows XP VM with the same results. I am not able to play the mpg file in Windows Media Player, it crashes. After capturing, I am unable to edit, ie the Honestech application crashes. If I run in my BC VM while capturing, the display will periodically pause. However, it does work in my bootcamp system. I have been trying to get this to work with Windows XP under Fusion. I have Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe USB device for converting VHS tapes to DVD.The device itself is small, measuring 0.75″H x 3.4″W x 2″D, which I found appropriate for the role it serves. If the MY VID BOX was responsible for processing the software, I would expect the size to be larger. The back of the MY VID BOX has the connections for the S-Video, component audio and video and the USB port. Note that only the USB cable is included with the package. The VHS to DVD Deluxe 3.0 software is roughly 57MB in size and is the only contents of the included CD. I was surprised that there was not more on the software discs. In regards to documentation, honestech does an excellent job of providing the user with options. They include an 18-page Quick Start Guide which covers the basics to get you started quickly. In addition to the Quick Start Guide, they include an in-depth 67-page user manual. The Quick Start Guide and User Manual are printed, paper copies, which I prefer as opposed to the electronic, soft copy manuals. If you prefer the electronic copy, an Adobe Acrobat PDF file version is available on the honestech web site. Maybe they could have included a copy on the software disc too. The manufacturer includes a USB cable that is just over 3-feet in length. I think this is too short, since a requirement of the product is that you have your VHS equipment and computer linked, I think a minimum length for the included cable should be 8-feet. I bet that everyone has experienced difficulty in connecting two pieces of equipment, due to inadequate cable/cord length, especially if one or both are housed in a piece of furniture. Supplying a longer cable would be a nice, simple feature for the user. My first attempt to utilize the software was unsuccessful because I tried to launch it on my PC that did not have a DVD burner installed. I was just going to burn the videos to a CD instead, but since the software could not locate a DVD burning mechanism, I was unable to access it. Keep this in mind if you want to use this to put videos on a CD, you still must have a DVD burner installed. I was able to secure a PC with a DVD burner so that I could test out the software. When loading the software, I did get a concerning warning message stating that the software had not been verified against Windows XP. I reviewed the documentation and it states to expect this message but advises you to push the ï¿❜ontinue Anyway” button and says the software has been tested on Windows XP. So throwing caution into the wind, I pressed on. The software provides users with three modes: 1. The Easy Wizard Mode is a step-by-step guide targeted at the novice user. It simply prompts you through a five step process that starts with inserting the disc. Then it prompts you to test the video connection. You play the VHS tape and the video is recorded. It captures the video content to a temporary folder and then burns it onto the discs.Ī very simple, guided approach to transitioning your old videos to a more up-to-date media. Enforcement and resulting bans from these acts will be under discretion of moderators.When I see devices advertised as �simple and easy”, I tend to wonder �is this something my mother could successfully use.” I think my mom would have no problems utilizing the Easy Wizard Mode. Please, no personal attacks, trolling, or spam (posting about tapes you want to sell is okay).
