    First: with all due respect to "Alejandro Gallet to DVD Knowledge and Tips" and "Follow @AlejandroGallet". I am the owner, in due course, of a moderately sized set of "near end-of-life" VHS tapes, many of which .are simply not available on DVD. I have discovered that the "industry" really wants these VHS tapes to sort of self-destruct without my having the chance to preserve the "usufruct" of my license: which is accomplished by transferring the content (miserable VHS quality) to a DVD. I have never seen a pile of obfuscation and double-talk about such a relatively simple issue. Now: Mr. Gallet (whose lawyers are very understandably telling him to watch out) is touting some sort of software which will stabilize and remove "copy protection" from VHS tapes which have been corrupted by the "industry". But Mr. Gallet asks us to make several giant leaps of faith. So I start: how, exactly, do I transfer these VHS tapes to my hard drive?

    Hi Josh, thanks for using our software. It has no limitation for time but there will be watermark in the DVD you make.
  • josh  2013-04-04 16:20
    Hello, Is there any watermark or other functional limitations with the trial version... other than time?
  • AlejandroGallet  2013-01-04 06:26
    Hi, Sheidon, the burning time depends mainly on the file size, burning speed you set, and your computer configuration. For a D5 or D9 content burning, it usually takes about 1-2 hours though some high performance computer can do it better. Best regards,

    Hi, I'm trying the free trial right now and it takes me more than 1 hour to burn. Is this normal? Thanks.
