To save my old S-VHS and VHS cassettes digital I ordered this package a few days ago. The installation, on my Windows 7 Pro computers, was really very easy and went smoothly. The cable for connection to a video source (camera or recorder) are included. Besides, who wants to play S-VHS, needs a separate Hi-8 or Hosiden cable. The menu is kept simple and understandable. The quality is consistently good. A better picture quality than the original one can not expect of course. But you get out some settings to get the best. Man, however, should plan some time during dubbing and rendering. A 90 min. Film followed by converting to disk takes about 3.5 to 4 hours (90 min + approx 2-3 hours for you to convert and save to disk). On a slightly older PC the whole can also take longer.
The only drawback: You must have Internet access and an email address for activation by Magix. For a product in this price range is such an approach, in my opinion, unacceptable.
