You don't need any tech skills, just follow the initial setup card (I think it was 4 steps), then it is as easy as plugging in the cords to the VIDBOX devise and to the other machines (VCR + Desktop PC, or Camcorder + Desktop PC), it is that easy. I had bought this VIDBOX devise from Best Buy and it did the job fine. I had around 24 hours to get it done (getting everything together and finding a pawn shop with a VCR was tough).

I needed to get an old VHS tape and some Mini DV camcorder tapes converted to digital format so I could make a nice video of old memories for my Grandpa's funeral. I've had this unit just long enough that I can't take it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, so will have to see if I can get somebody from the Vidbox Support to answer their phone. Every setting is the same as I had before the unit quit working. I still get the error message "No Vidbox capture device was detected". Since then I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, made sure that all the connections to the VCR and computer are solid, and double checked that my Windows 10 permissions for camera and microphone were set to allow Vidbox usage. Task Manager would not shut the program down, so I had to turn off my PC.

In the middle of recording one of our family videos, it just froze-up and the base of the Vidbox unit felt overheated. Unfortunately, the unit I purchased worked for 33 days, or about 15-16 hours of actual recording time. The output quality of converted files seemed to be about the same quality as my original VHS tape, as played on my PC screen.

MP4, once I figured-out how to set my Windows 10 permissions to allow Vidbox access to my camera and microphone (info is not included in the quickstart guide). My Vidbox Video Conversion for PC originally did what it was supposed to do, record VCR tapes and convert the files to.
