Magix Rescue Your Videotapes 4

Rescue Your Videotapes 4 <b>NEW! Completely redesigned user interface</b>
It doesn't just look better: To make video editing with Video easy even easier and more intuitive, we revised the entire color scheme of the user interface and dialogs, using brighter and friendlier colors. And that's not all: We revised the program's icons, enlarged the buttons, added more fields (for example, to delete clips) and optimized the layout even more.

<b>NEW! Even faster: improved performance</b>
Our developers were hard at work to make the new version even faster and more efficient. They were successful! MAGIX Video easy is now even faster than its previous version. Enjoy Video easy's improved performance in many steps of the video editing process, for example, when previewing effects in real time, when loading large video projects or when converting VHS to DVD. This way, you'll have more time to enjoy your finished videos.

<b>Includes USB lead and SCART cable for transferring VHS to DVD</b>
Only MAGIX provides a complete set of accessories for connecting your VCR or camcorder to your PC. This includes the SCART adaptor, which otherwise has to be purchased extra with other offers, as well as a useful USB extension cable in case your PC or laptop is further away.

<b>Life expectancy of VHS recordings</b>
Do you still own recordings on VHS cassettes? Precious memories that you can't afford to lose? Then do something about it and transfer VHS to DVD – fast! Tape recordings are anything but safe: The average life expectancy for VHS cassettes amounts to around 15 years, and that's in optimum storage (protected from light, low moisture levels, and constant temperature). The magnetic layer slowly deteriorates until the tape is useless. And all this can happen at a faster pace if tapes haven't been stored in the best possible conditions!

<b>Quality loss through use</b>
Analog video technology has other risks and problems: Just playing your videotapes diminishes the potency of the magnetic layer. Usage alone destroys the image quality of your recordings. Brightness, contrast, and color become weaker and weaker, and even image distortions can develop!

<b>Tape salad & magnets</b>
Everyone is familiar with this one: >ERROR
<b>Obsolete technology</b>
DVD players are more or less in every household these days. DVDs have become the best-selling video recording medium. Compared to VHS recorders, analog video cameras, and the corresponding magnetic tape are hardly produced anymore. In case items become damaged, it's not worth it anymore to repair them. Soon, the VHS medium will be a thing of the past.

<b>To the rescue!</b>
Don't worry! With this video rescuing package, consisting of MAGIX Video easy and a practical USB video converter, you can back up your precious VHS recordings and other tape formats to PC or DVD in just a few clicks – including animated menus! Just connect the USB adaptor to the PC and video recorder, launch MAGIX Video easy, and start transferring VHS to DVD!

<b>NEW! Record your own audio commentary</b>
Like on TV: record commentary for your videos, just like a voice actor for documentaries on TV.

Use the built-in microphone in your computer or a separate microphone that you can connect to your PC (e.g. a headset). The devices are, of course, automatically recognized by Video easy 3 HD. Now all you need to do is just leave a comment.

<b>Advanced audio dubbing</b>
Find just the right background music for your videos: Thanks to advanced audio editing, you can use any number of music tracks for your project. Once you've selected multiple music tracks, the program automatically fades the individual songs into each other, creating smooth transitions. Then, you can order the individual audio samples and adjust their play length.
