This idiot-proof video player allows you to convert long-forgotten VHS recordings into pristine digital files. So you can cringe at your mullet in those homemade vids, laugh at The Love Boat, marvel at Alex Trebeks mustache (course you taped Jeopardy) and cringe as Mr T jibba-jabbas on in those ancient Burger King ads without dusting off your soon to be obsolete VCR.
Converts straight from a 8mm video camera to your PC. You can even connect it to your TV and use as a VCR!
Simply pop in a tape, press play and leave the rest to this USB-friendly machine. It doesn't matter if you want to watch reinvigorated recordings on your computer, iPod, PSP or DVD. The included conversion software caters for stacks of formats. Just think, as smug friends watch hot new downloads on the move you could be watching William Shatner and his wig cleaning up the streets in TJ Hooker. Awesome!
Get converting now!
Once you've successfully archived your VHS library the only thing left to do is dump those cumbersome tapes. Just make sure you stomp on 'em before throwing them in the trash. After all, you wouldn't want anyone finding out you'd gone over the first episode of Hardcastle and McCormick with a Britney/Justin routine from the Mickey Mouse Club, would you?
Complete with fool-proof software

Will this work with commercial VHS tapes (that I already own) to convert to more stable DVD's?Jujubee, Michigan - Nov '08
Firebox says: It will indeed, enjoy those classics!
My wife bought me one of these for Christmas. Had to send the first one back because it was faulty but we emailed Firebox and the next day they contacted us and arranged delivery and collection for the following day. Fantastic service. The second one works ok and the results are excellent. Only downside is the appalling instructions that come with it. Tried to get instructions online but they are equally as bad. I called the ION helpline who are helpful but really didn't know much and referred me to the website. Worked it out myself in the end. All in all a very good product and I would recommend it, particularly if you are like me and want to put your videos on your IPOD.Kevin, Dorchester - Jan '10
Does this work to convert UK VHS tapes to dvd via imovie in usa?Minhas, Nj - Dec '09
Firebox says: Sorry, the EZ VHS Converter software is NOT Mac compatible.
This product seems great, thanks for including the specifications. But can this device record at a faster speed than play back? meaning if a VHS is 90 mins long, can I convert it to a "file" in a far shorter space of time ? Back in the day :) you could record audio cassette tapes at a faster speed than playback. Im looking for a device that does that with VHS, I assume that professional VHS conversion is done using similar equipment. Any suggestions? thanks (great site btw).Mrwho, Uk - Oct '09
Firebox says: You can only record on to your computer at the same speed as playback (speeding it up will only cause your computer to record it as a sped-up video).
This may of already been asked so sorry if it has, but I was wondering if it converts pre-recorded video's or is it just video's I have recorded myself ? I bought a few collections many moons ago and would like to convert them onto dvd, is this possible ??Melanie, Cambridge - Oct '09
Firebox says: Yep, it will convert them also.
Is this compatible with Vista 64 bit? WIth some other products the USB doesn't work.Mark Simpson, Surrey - Aug '09
Firebox says: Yes it does.
Hi. Does it support the 64-bit versions of Windows?Tom, Southampton - Aug '09
Firebox says: Yes it does
It says that it can also be used for regular VHS playback. Did you mean playback via a television or via my computer (which is what I prefer)? Thank you.John, EU - Jul '09
Firebox says: Via your television
At he moment I can only convert one hour of vcr to my computer, would I be able to convert, say a full two hour+ to my computer from this vcr.Jmro, MERSEYSIDE - Jul '09

It is cooooooooooool.Hamzeh Kourbeh, Jeddah - Jun '09
