VHS2DVD Wizard – Converts VHS to DVD
VHS2DVD Wizard is another competitor in the VHS to DVD conversion market. It presents a simple and tidy way to transfer your VHS video tapes to DVDs. Sure it might not have the same features as some of the other competitors (round up) but it does it cheaper and perhaps with less hassle.
Plug in the 2 video cables to connect your PC via USB to your VHS player, install the software and simply hit play on your VCR. The software will capture it as it is playing and allow you to edit unwanted sections out at the end (such as ads) before finally burning it to DVD, or simply saving it on your computer for future viewings. The price ($50) is very similar to that of Honestech’s VHS to DVD Deluxe (which we’ve tested and reviewed in depth), but keep in mind that the Honestech product doesn’t care whether its VCR or any other analog source (audio and/or video) as long as it has RCA output jacks.
Price: $49.99

I am interested in converting vhs tapes to dvd. Does your software guarantee in writing that the process will work with windows 7 operating system?
Hi Ray – we don't actually make this software and their FAQ (http://www.vhs2dvdwizard.com/faqs.html) doesn't explicitly say anything about Windows 7.
But remember that Windows 7 has an optional Windows XP Mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/featur... to ensure a measure of backward compatibility. After all, there are a *lot* of companies still running XP and need that compatibility in order to really consider moving to W7.
Hope this helps!
VCR2DVD.com says it works with XP, Vista, and 7 (32 bit only)
when i try to installl the software, i get the dreaded, file is corrupt message and installation stops, any suggestions while i wait for the wizard site to respond?
Hi Jackie – lots of possibilities:
1. The CD/DVD you got is really corrupted. Totally possible. You'll need to get another one.
2. If you downloaded it, then try re-downloading.
3. I've seen installers fail because the OS/installer didn't like spaces in the directory where it was located. Try copying the installer .exe/.msi/.bat file and associated content to your C: or a sub-dir name without a space in the name.
Good luck!
