This idiot-proof video player allows you to convert long-forgotten VHS video recordings into pristine digital files. So you can cringe at your shoulder pads in those homemade vids, laugh at Arfur's antics in Minder, marvel at Wogan's hair-don't (course you videoed Eurovision) and sing along to the Shake 'n' Vac ad, without cracking out 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 standard video player!
Simply plonk 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 because the included conversion software caters for stacks of formats. Just think, whilst smug commuters watch their latest downloads on the bus, you could be watching (through your fingers) Henry Kelly patronising the Belgian contestant on Going for Gold. Again. Brilliant!
Get converting now!
Once you've successfully archived your VHS library the only thing left to do is bin those cumbersome tapes. Just make sure you stomp on 'em before heading to the dump. After all, you wouldn't want anyone to find out you'd gone over the final episode of Eldorado with Mallet's Mallet, would you?
Complete with fool-proof software

Is this system able to overcome copy protection on commercially recorded VHS.David McElvain, Kentucky - 30th July 2010
Firebox says: Yup!
Regarding the Ion USB VHS Converter, are you planning on getting this back in stock? Ever? I know it's available on the US site, but I can only imagine what the postage will be and you can't seem to change the country to UK anyway :(

Firebox says: Not at the moment unfortunately!
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 - 9th January 2010
Does this work to convert UK VHS tapes to dvd via imovie in usa?Minhas, Nj - 18th December 2009
Firebox says: Sorry, the EZ VHS Converter software is NOT Mac compatible.
Hi, I have purchased one of these to transfer all my old video collections to DVD's, everything records fine (although you can only do around 2hrs per DVD so any longer films you may need to edit). I have a problem on playback via DVD once converted once watching it every after about 2 -3 mins it speeds up for around 2 seconds (so peoples actions are seen in fast motion?) this has happens to two different films so far and its annoying when watching. Is there anything I can do? i. E change PAL setting e. G PAL_B, D, H etc or change playback in HQ high quality?? please let me know as I have 150 videos and this will spoil watching them back. Thanks.Jim, Essex - 18th November 2009
Firebox says: Your best way forward at this time would be to ring the manufacturers directly on 01252 353 850 as they'll be able to figure out what's going wrong in greater detail than we can! If it turns out you've got a faulty unit, give us a call and we can sort out a replacement for you. Really sorry this has happened Jim!
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 - 29th October 2009
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 - 25th October 2009
Firebox says: Yep, it will convert them also.
Hi, I know it doesnt say mac but will this work on my macbook? id love this item but I have a macbook. If not will a future version work on a mac? thanks, R.Rob, London - 21st October 2009
Firebox says: Unfortunately it isn't compatible with Mac - sorry!
Hi - The software states I am only allowed to record for a limited number of minutes at a time, which seems to be different fo each video - is there any way to extend the maximum recording time? Otherwise, think it works brilliantly :).Kirsty, UK - 21st October 2009
Firebox says: Not that we know of, sorry!
