Roxio’s easy to use vhs to dvd is a basic product for converting your cherished memories so that they will last a lifetime. As stated, it comes with a dvd taking you step by step on how it works.

Also, I recommend as someone else said that you capture the video onto your computer in a folder first, to make the process easier.

For me, the sign of a great anti-virus is if you really don’t know it’s there and you never have any issues with your computers.

Read on to find out what this software can really do!nnInstallationnI installed Nero 2014 Platinum on my Acer Aspire V5-122P-0637 netbook.

Let’s face it, the built in Microsoft Windows backup system is just not dependable and can be extremely complicated for the average computer user. Arconis True Image Home 2011 gives you a comprehensive suite of backup and recovery tools for your Windows 7 x32 or x64 computer system.

One of the biggest sins Microsoft committed with her Office XP Application Suite is removing the Publisher from its Professional edition without lowering the price. (The Professional edition of Office 2000 has Publisher, in addition to all other Applications present in XP Professional). But that apart, I must say that this Publisher 2002 works fine. It is fast, very easy to customize, and yields high quality Desktop Publishing outputs. Still, a close scrutiny revealed that its ‘improvements’ over the 2000 edition is only marginal.
