We tested it by transcoding an old VHS tape to a digital format. To create a DVD using the footage we had captured, we needed to use a third-party program. When our video experts examined the footage, the quality of the converted disc was exactly the same as the original. There was minor distortion and some pixelation on the disc. The problem is not a major issue if you are viewing the video on high-definition screens.
We expect distortion when viewing VHS tapes on HD TVs. In quality, it is similar to other VHS-to-DVD converters. This program is not able to create DVDs. It is not capable of burning or customizing your files on disc.
