I did find the instruction booklet could be a bit more comprehensive, and straight forward but it was adequate in the end . My PC wouldn’t load the drivers so I loaded the software then went back into settings on my PC to load the required video/audio drivers from the supplied mini disc which loaded without problem. I found that the setting in “burn a DVD” to fit to disc did manage to fit almost 3 hours and 8.9Gb onto a 4.7GB disc, probably by reducing the quality, so I copied the tape again in 80minute segments (4.3gb )in the case of a 4 hour tape, and 60 minutes (3.7gb) for a 3 hour tape at the High Quality burning option. I did need to phone the helpline and was surprised to find it excellent. The chap I spoke to was very helpful, and suggested I instal VLC media player so that I could watch the recorded video sections saved to a file on my PC. I found that using Windows Media player would play audio but not images.
Once I’d sorted out how to use this program it has proved to be excellent and very easy to use. Don’t give up if you experience a problem, a little perseverance and maybe a call to the help line will have you up and running in no time. One thing I did find was how slow the process is but only to be expected as it copies in real time and the DVD burning is very slow, but that bit could be down to my PCs only having a Celeron processor and perhaps the performance of the installed DVD drive
