What's in the Box
The Vidbox Video Conversion Suite includes everything you need to connect an analog video source to a computer and convert the analog signal into a digital recording. Specifically, this includes: RCA type cables for composite video and left and right audio, an analog/digital converter box, a mini-USB to USB cable, and necessary software for mac or PC on two included CDs. The converted box is about 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 7/8″ and weighs just about 2 oz.
The converter box also accepts S-video input. No S-video cable is included, but if you have used an S-video cable to connect your VCR to your TV then this will be acceptable. The front of the converter has a blue LED that glows while the converter unit is powered by the USB cable.
Software
I installed the Windows version of the software but I expect that the wizard-type interface will be similar on a Mac. The first menu asks if video or just audio will be recorded. I suppose that the pre-amplification that this provides is better than just plugging an RCA to 3.5 mm adapter into the microphone jack of the computer. Maybe. Truth is, I really don't have an objective way to judge the veracity of the recording. Therefore I'll focus on the video conversion process.
Note that for the wizard to continue beyond this screen the converter box must be attached. Otherwise, the following screen is displayed.
After the converter box is found the wizard asks for the recording time of the video. The transfer will occur in real time, so this is a useful feature if you plan to start the recording and let it continue unattended. We will see later that the recording can be stopped at any time by the user.
This screen allows the input method to be selected. S-video is a standard that separates the color data from the intensity data and should produce superior results (except for B&W, obviously). The unit comes with a composite video cable and this is what most VCR systems that cost less than about $350 new have as an output.
Now we're finally ready to record. From this screen, you can choose the aspect and the sound recording level. Note that the converter box does not include a pass through so unless your video equipment supports broadcasting over multiple outputs the video preview in the screen below will be the only view of the video while you are recording. The window cannot be resized so the video preview window is rather small. As indicated above, there is a 'Stop' button on this screen that will allow you to stop the recording session at any point. The converter box outputs a 720 x 480 resolution video in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, so there is some benefit to selecting the correct display.
After the recording is complete you have the option of opening the file location of the recorded MPEG file, converting the MPEG to and .mp4, or burning the MPEG to a DVD readable format.
The dialog box for converting to .mp4 allow you to select a file name, resolution of 640 x 480, 720 x 480, 720 x 576, or 1024 x 768 and some arbitrary quality scale that will show you the estimated file size.

In summary
So I have a bit of a confession to make. I didn't actually own a VCR at the start of this review. I borrowed a unit from a friend, but it was an old model (circa. 1997). So I ventured to a local thrift store and purchased a VCR with integrated DVD recorder for a deal-of-the-century $7.99. Now I had a benchmark for evaluating the Vidbox.
I will admit that the conversion process using Vidbox is extremely easy. The wizard driven system did not produce any error messages about buffer under-runs, media write fails, or other messages typical of DVD burning. Also, The Vidbox system seemed to ignore any Macrovision protection on the VHS.
My first impressions were that the Vidbox output was very pixelated compared with the raw VCR output. When I used the built in DVD recorder of the VCR, the output seemed almost identical to the original VHS. The Vidbox produced a MPEG with a constant bit-rate (CBR) video signal of 8000 kbps, whereas the DVD recorded a variable bit-rate recording of about 9500 kbps. Cplex for mac. I'm not sure if the different recording strategies and bandwidth are sufficient to explain the difference in quality. Anyone who wants to express their opinion about bit-rate, macroblocks, temporal coding, motion vectors and how these compression attributes can explain the video results is welcome to do so in the comments. Havij 1 6 cracked zip.
I have made some side by side comparison videos to illustrate my experiences. The first video shows the output from a VHS recording of Four Weddings and Funeral. (Don't judge me…actually the several pan scenes in this intro allow viewing of the same scene on both sides of the screen simultaneously.) The DVD output is on the left and the Vidbox output is on the right. The videos were compressed to .mp4 using VLC, made side by side on Cute CUT for iOS and uploaded to YouTube. The frame skips that are visible in the Vidbox output were there in the MPEG. Vidbox warns that skips may happen if other programs are running but this was not the case. Obviously, based on the description above, the videos have been through several transformations but the video quality below is very similar to the original DVD and Vidbox output.
Vidbox may win points for being easy, but if the best quality output is what you are looking for from your video conversion, then I would suggest purchasing another conversion system. The pixelating effect is too strong to consider this system be used for VHS archival.
