Works as advertised. I was so impressed with the ease in transferring the video that I bought the full version.
Discovered this software and indeed it was an easy to navigate and use after watching the informative videos. I would thoroughly recommend getting this if, like me, you have loads of videos of your family and you wish to future proof it. Very happy.
So easy to use, so vital to have if you want (need!) to convert old and deteriorating VHS tapes and DV tapes to digital immortality. Why wouldn't you get this?
Following weeks of chasing unsatisfactory remedies and the purchase of un-needed cables I came across Life Flix. I was able to instantly connect my Sony handyCam and load to my ageing Mac the DV tapes I wanted to edit. Excellent product.
LifeFlix let’s me easily convert 8mm video tape to .mov files on my MacBook Pro. In addition to the conversion feature, I like the ability to start and stop the importing from the same tape, edit the segments by cutting out undesired parts at both the beginning and end of the segment (called a “clip” in the software) and then joining the clips together into a single .mov file. Highly recommended!
I was having problems trying to copy my MiniDVs to my Mac using iMovie and QuickTime Player. I found your Lifeflix program and it was so simple and accomplished all 15 tapes. I highly recommend it.
I've been trying for years to figure out how to back up years of research tapes and was so excited to find this. The free version works great for me (thrilling), but ironically, the sound isn't transferring on the paid version. (And, yes, I know there's no sound while the transfer is happening.) Wish there were a help phone number, instead of just an Email.
I did 87 tapes in less than 3 weeks. In the old days it would have take forever !!!! The automation with the compression and packaging of MOV fils is just perfect!!! Totally worth the money ! THANKS!!!
Smooth and simple, thanks for the goods
After trialing out several different methods, cables & hours of youtube videos trying to get my VHS footage I came across lifeflix and it's made the process completely streamlined and stress free.
I opted to buy this software as i had a number of mini-dv tapes to import and was not happy with the whole iMovie experience in regard to importing. Lifeflix recognised my camcorder straight away, and my favourite feature is the ability to combine all clips that get created by the software into a single file - just like my original tape!
I did have an issue with some of my tapes which meant it skipped some footage repeatedly - but the customer service and issue resolution was top drawer!
Unfortunately we were not able to transfer a test tape through this program successfully, since the 2 free chances were not enough to get the bugs worked out.
Had a problem with my DVC cable that affected import; after two attempts I fixed it but had run out of my two freebie imports, so I guess I'll never know if it works with my system or not, since Im not going to buy the software untested. C'est la vie!
Archived 48+ hours of skydiving footage from minidv tapes and all went smoothly. Software did a good job at scene detection.
I love this program, I was having so much trouble with IMovie, this is soooo easy! I didn’t have to think too long to purchase the full program. Thank you!
I ordered the free sample to see if LifeFlix is compatible with the firewire output of my Sony DSR-2000 DVC deck. It is and so I bought the full application. I am very impressed with its performance and features. Well worth the money.
Excellent software which works perfectly. Has allowed me to capture movies from my very old DV tapes. Easy to use with clear instructions and no glitches. Definitely worth the money… highly recommended
For me, LifeFlix free worked perfectly. So it was an easy decision to pay for the premium version!
