First of all, the unit I received had non-functional audio. I called the company and they were more than willing to exchange it.
I decided however to return it to amazon for a refund. The quality of the VCR was very poor. The old VCR that I have with all it's problems is better at tracking and video quality. The ION VCR even showed tracking noise on a relatively clean VHS tape. On one of my old overused tapes it wasn't even close to acceptable.
The software that came with it was pretty basic. Easy to use, but it's still an exercise in babysitting the process unless you determine exactly how long you want to record to your PC for. Then there is a timer you can set to stop it automatically. The software has ZERO control over the unit itself, so it's still press play here, press record there. The only thing the timer stops is the recording process on the PC.
Overall you would be better served by getting a decent stereo video capture device and a good quality VCR. I think most people that have old VHS tapes should still have a VCR that will run circles around the ION unit.Get more detail about ION Audio VCR 2 PC USB VHS Video to Computer Converter.
