Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's HR-DVS3U blends MiniDV recording and playback abilities with high-quality S-VHS and standard VHS recording and playback, providing the utmost in flexibility, convenience, and economy. The HR-DVS3U can be used to enjoy MiniDV camcorder cassettes, to perform MiniDV to S-VHS/VHS dubbing, and to perform digital archiving (S-VHS/VHS to MiniDV). You can also use it as a computer peripheral for nonlinear editing. JVC's DigiPure Technology (with 2 MB frame memory) is a suite of features including Super VHS ET recording with a TBC (Time Base Corrector) that digitally removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture, even on old tapes. TBC eliminates color distortion caused by jitter in the color signal, too. You also get PCM digital audio (with MiniDV recording) and hi-fi VHS stereo. The HR-DVS3U offers front- and rear-panel S-video inputs and two rear-panel S-video outputs. The unit provides 500 lines of horizontal resolution with the DV format and over 400 lines of horizontal resolution with Super VHS. In addition, the system provides easy editing, one-touch dubbing, VCR Plus with cable box control, express programming, and a 1-year/6-event programmable timer. Other cool features include audio dubbing, auto index and index search, and a one-year/12-event timer (six events each for MiniDV and S-VHS/VHS).

 great machine May 16, 2008
i bought this mainly for the mini dv vcr from bh photo and its great ive had it for 3 years now and i discoverd recently you can play vhs through the firewire cable in imovie and final cut pro and the vhs tape playback is very smooth it can fix defective tapes most of the time only once i found one tape that would not play on the vhs side but theres always going to be one bad tape . Also im not sure why some people are having problems with cannon playback mine plays tapes from the xl,xl2 and the sony tapes works 100% for me no problems at all.
This was a good purchase, Versatile and Inexpensive. December 22, 2006

I bought this deck to work with Final Cut Pro. After finally figuring out to set the input to "F1", I had no problems using this deck with a G4 or a G5 and Final Cut Pro 3 and FCP 4, and also iMovie. To capture from the analog inputs, or from (S)VHS, you need to switch Final Cut Pro to "Uncontrollable Firewire Device", because the VHS side does not do time code, not would I expect VITC from a deck at this price. Other reviewers have cited numerous quality problems, but with light ususage, I have never seen these problems. If you are a serious video editor doing a lot of tape transfer, you need an industrial grade VCR, like the Sony DSR-45A DVCAM VCR. If you are a part time editor, say doing 1 or 2 videos a month, this is the perfect solution. Also, be sure not to break your timecode on your tapes when recording your videos, otherwise capturing can be a pain (just record 5 seconds after your final take, and if you have to power off the camera, rewind a couple of seconds). I had no problems capturing tapes from any Camera, although I usually used Sony.
 Don't waste your money! December 10, 2006
I've gone through two of these decks. They worked fine with Final Cut Pro and I enjoyed the SVHS to DV transfer ease... BUT... they are cheaply made and break down after any extended use. Same thing happened to a colleague. Repair cost as much as the price of a new deck! Not acceptable. I'll never use another one of these.
 works fine with FCP February 13, 2006

I use this deck with a 20 foot cable to ecit from my XL1s and GL2 and TRV 900. I am happy with the results. I would never buy a deck like this without a repair warrenty as they seem to die as often as laptop computers. I have bought 3 of these.
Garbage February 18, 2005

This unit is a piece of garbage. Save your money.
1) It will not play tapes shot with a Canon camcorder.
Imagine cutting a picture horizontally in 1/4" strips and moving the first strip to the left, the next strip to the right, next to the left, etc.. Artifacts is putting it mildly.
2) The firewire into a Canoups capture card simply does not work.
3) The firewire port is very poorly placed
4) The remote did not display an on screen menu
5) The controls on the unit are _very_ cheaply made.
I had to return the unit for a store credit on a web purchase.
I would not even give this thing to someone as a free gift.
