Overview
Corel Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus (Disc) is a consumer-focused video transfer kit that combines a USB analog capture device with Roxio’s simplified DVD-authoring software. It’s made for people who want to convert VHS, Hi8 and other analog tapes into playable DVDs or MP4 files without learning professional editing tools.
