Tevion DVD Maker

I bought one to copy a TV show recorded on VHS to DVD. The conditions weren't ideal, because I was using a low spec netbook as the Windows XP PC(1.6 ghz chip and one meg of RAM) and a source VHS tape that had been recorded in low quality.

So how did I get on? Everything installed easily. To give the netbook its best chance, I disabled virus checkers and everything I could running in the background that might slow it down.

The results were remarkably good. There was the odd video glitch here and there, but I think that was the result of the original (feeble) recording quality of the VHS. I was very impressed indeed.

So I can't recommend it highly enough.

can't seem to get audio installed on my laptop cant hear anything on my dvd

Installed fine. Conquered how to capture the Video to burn to DVD.Please though someone tell me why it captures and when burned to DVD it appears in Black and white. I have tried manuals searched the net but cannot find an answer. The software will be good once I get it running properly

I bought this Dvd creator in November last,and have been struggling with

it since . The instructions are sketchy to say the least.I have rung the customer srvice for help, but no luck. Ican capture the video without any trouble, but to import it to a dvd is another thing altogether.Itcomes to a full stop after telling me that my material was unsupported ( whatever that means) I feel so frustrated especially as I have the film strip converter and the USB turntable and they have given no problems at all

I bought that Pinnacle Dazzle some years ago and it cost me '55. It was a load of rubbish' and PCWorld would not take it back. Then I noticed aldi selling this one' thought I would have a go as I know they would take it back. But to my surprise its very good. If you have a decent VHS copy it will turn out ok on a dvd using this. So aldi wont be getting this back.

OK, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. I CONNECTED IT SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS TO NO AVAIL!! NEW WIRES; OLD WIRES, S VIDEO NO S VIDEO CONSTANTLY GET NO SIGNAL RESPONSE. I GIVE UP. THIS IS A NEW COMPUTER I USED; I ALSO TRIED MY OLDER LAPTOP. SYSTEM DOWNLOADS EASILY BUT NEVER GETS A SIGNAL. BOTH VCR PLAYER AND COMPUTER ARE WORKING BUT APPARENTLY NOT IN HARMONY WITH THIS DVD MAKER!! GOING BACK TO MY OLD RECORDER FROM TV TO VCR TO DVD RECORDER I HAVE HAD SET UP FOR 7 YEARS!!

Only problem I've had is when trying to record from a VHS video camera, the data records but aafterwards the pop up window says `format not supported` with no explanation as to what it means. none in instructions either. Seems to be a problem with the software rather than the converter

the only problem ive found is i can only seem to record for 100 minutes and not a full 120 minutes of dvd disc space.the rest seems fine i get good picture and sound from both vhs and dvd..

i suppose alittle more time playing with it will sort out my problem

really for the price £14 its not to bad.

i'l kep using it and work out the niggly bits,

but for me it does the job.well enough

I bought this not to transfer old video's but to copy DVD's onto my PSP and Ipod (something I'm sure is fully legal as I've bought the DVD and chose to watch it personally on a mobile device) and this gets around almost all incryption software and produces a perfect image on my mobile devices. I was a little concerned that converting digital to analogue and back would effect quality but I use a PS3 to play the DVD (one BlueRay I've so far tried wouldn't copy due to protection) and a Windows XP PC to record with no problems at all. Picture on PSP3000 looks great and good stereo sound.

picture not very good when converted to dvd, was better recording direct from video to dvd recorder with better picture and not the fuzzy digital video results I got
