To convert analogue content, users simply attach the included USB video capture device to their high-speed USB 2.0 port, and then capture from virtually any analogue video source. S-Video and composite-video input cables enable full-resolution DVD recording from VCRs, VCR/DVD combo players, and analogue camcorders including Hi8 and Video8 models. The resulting video files can then be recorded to DVD, complete with a custom menu background and chaptering, using a special version of Roxio Toast® (included), or exported directly to iMovie for editing.

“Whether it is weddings, baby’s first steps, reunions, or other irreplaceable family memories, it is only a matter of time before the aging footage stored on analogue video tape is lost forever,” said Vito Salvaggio, vice president of consumer products, Roxio. “We’ve introduced Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac, to make it extremely easy for families to revive and rediscover memorable family milestones and preserve them for generations to come.”

The Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac software guides users through the necessary steps to successfully capture analogue recordings. The software displays illustrations of the required cable connections and prompts users to select an appropriate recording quality. Users can preview video and audio to ensure connections are correct prior to capture. In addition, uses may set a predefined recording length so they can leave the capture process unattended.

Once recording is complete, options are available to send the video to Toast or to iMovie. Within Toast, users may create DVDs, VCDs or SVCDs, which can be personalised with professionally designed menu styles. Toast can also be used to compile multiple recordings on a single disc or to make copies of a DVD previously created for sharing with friends and family. Videos sent to iMovie can be edited further and exported for optimal playback on a range of mobile devices including the iPod® and iPhone®, or converted for posting and sharing via online services or social networking sites.
