Exactly what I expected, this device is easy to use (in French on a leaflet enclosed CD), I am trying to copy all my VHS to DVD and I have no difficulty. I do not understand the critics who suggest that such and such tapes would not be taken into account, mine are different from (personal recordings or films of the trade) and all operate. Only flat, why the seller does not package the product in a carton avoiding to see the product during shipping?
