I have had this for years and even though you can’t hardly find a vcr I have my old one and I’m still able to watch those old home videos this had prolonged me having to have all my videos converted so glad I went with this because if I had converted my old films I would have had to have had them converted multiple times … small vhs to large vhs to dvd to Blu-ray…. What’s next ??? I know eventually I’ll have to convert them because nothing material lasts forever but until then Imit has done it’s job and I have saved money because of it!!

Buen adaptador, es mejor mecánico que eléctrico, he pasado varios vídeos a MP4 sin problema, estaba de oferta cuando lo compre, mucho muy barato.

一応は使用できそうですが、カセットにより、一部、再生しなかったり、同期がずれるようなことがあります。

電池がいらない人力で動くメカニズムはいいアイデアだが、早送り・巻き戻し・再生とどれもギクシャクして使いものにならなかった。ただamazonの返品手続きのスムースさはすばらしかった。

First off, I don't know what so many people are complaining about, just look through the reviews. I read some people say they put the adapter in and their are pieces flying out of the VCR. I don't what these people are doing but they are not following instructions or buying a different product.I have transferred well over 40 VHS-C tapes now with no issues, and just in case for info I used the the Toshiba DVR620 to convert them to dvd. I could not get this adapter to fit in the vhs slot of the dvr so I just hooked up an old VHS player I had to the dvr to convert to dvd. Also like they say garbage in garbage out, so if your tape has issues it will appear on the screen do not blame the adapter. Some of the tapes were not cared for properly and it did show up on screen, as I mean the actually tape was scratched or damaged.Now what I would recommend anyone do before using this product is to please go on amazon.com and follow the "Markm" review as It has provided excellent instructions.Some things I would like to add on to this instructions are to take it slowly and do no the rush the tape into the adapter at anytime. Also, try to use the white socket at the back of the VHS-C tape to remove any slack from the tape if there is any. Check if there is any slack by opening the lid of the VHS-C tape. This will help in playing tape smoothly. More importantly, if your tape, and this goes for any kind of tape for that matter, has not been used in a while fast forward it to the end and rewind completely before your first use. Another thing I would recommend is to late your VHS-C tape cool off a bit before your put it back in the case if you use them after you done, this will prevent condensation and potential long term damage to your tape.

I don't write reviews, but this needs to be said.Why is this product rated 3/5 stars when it works great? First of all, it's ten dollars. My RCA VHS-C Adapter just broke, and I'm doing a documentary where I'm transferring archive footage from VHS-C to my computer. Someone on the Amazon marketplace is selling my RCA adapter, used, for $144.98. Get real. Then I thought about eBaying a camera, instead of using a VCR to play, and transfer the tapes. Over 80 dollars, used, for a VHS-C camcorder. Get lost. Stumbled upon this, and was skeptical, until it arrived just now...THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRINTED ON THE TAPE. Let alone there's some printed ones inside the box (I'm a guy; didn't even bother). But any person, other than an ogre, should know to carefully open the plastic slide, put your tape carefully in, and push the slide CAREFULLY upwards (or downwards when taking it out). You can watch your tape be opened (or closed) by the adapter. Why are people having trouble with this??And every brand's tape works! I've tried and successfully played Sony, JVC, TDK, etc, let alone Maxell tapes. All work fine...Only gripe would be: if you stop, then rewind, it seems a bit fast for my tastes (don't know if it's my VCR or not) and it sounds like it's going to transform into a decepticon (or just destroy my VHS-C tape)...Maybe some folks received a defective piece of plastic and I'm somehow lucky, but this product is great.Pros+It works+It works with all brands of tape+Don't trust othersCons-Wouldn't trust the power rewindRecommended...

I don't normally write reviews, although I read a lot of them and find them useful. So I'm writing this just because i read the bad reviews for this product and almost bought the more expensive ones; but decided on this one to save some money. My worry was that to save a few bucks I was risking breaking a tape or a VCR per the other review's comments.I am pretty sure the reason they had problems is they didn't use it properly. The instructions are pretty bad, and if you don't use it right it will break a tape and/or mess up your VCR. So here is the way to use it;the instructions just say open the cover, put in the tape, and close the cover; but its a lot more than that.1. open the cover, and you'll see two posts sticking up that are spring loaded. It is very important you don't do what I did, which was figure those go in front of the tape, so I pushed them open and dropped the tape so the posts were on the outside of the tape. After experimenting and seeing how they work, I realized those posts go inside the tape, so just put the tape in without moving the posts.2. and when you put the tape in, be sure the front flap of your VHSC tape pops all the way open. The first time I put in the tape I didn't push it all the way down, and the flap didn't even open at all. Don't force it, but when the tape engages the gear, the flap pops open. The gears are plastic, so fiddle with it, don't force it.3. Now here is where you can break the tape; the instructions say "close the cover" which is right, but they don't mention that by closing the cover you are actually doing something else; the cover has a gear built into it, as the cover closes those two posts that are inside the tape push forward and out, spreading the tape out and pushing it to the front of the Adapater Cassette. This is how the tape is pulled out of your VHSC and held out so when the tape goes in the VCR it touches the VCR Head. When you slide the cover forward do it slowly, sort of back and forth, with light pressure. If you force it, it will snap your tape!if you do all this, I think you'll find this adapater is excellent, and will save you a bunch of money over the other ones that are double price, but probably have better instructions.
