Computer Products to Make Things Easier

I was sent the following products to review and keep from Honestech:


Easy Video Editor 3.0
Claymation Studio 2.0
Audio Recorder 2.0
VHS to DVD 4.0
Fotobox Plus


These are programs accessories to use with your computer. The Easy Video Editor 3.0 and the Claymation Studio 2.0 are programs to create videos or movies. The Easy Video Editor 3.0 was easy to use. I thought that it was similar to the Windows Movie Maker that I had been using on my computer. The Claymation Studio 2.0 was difficult for me. I tried, but I just couldn’t figure out how to use all of the features.

My favorite items are the other three. The Fotobox Plus for creating slideshows is easy to use. The VHS to DVD 4.0 was one that I was not able to use, because our VCR no longer works. Thanks to little kids with crayons and coins, nothing we did would fix it. I am sad about this, because we have a lot of VHS tapes that I would love to convert to DVD’s. DVD’s take up a lot less storage space.

The Audio Recorder 2.0 was my favorite and my husband’s. You can use this to record albums and cassette tapes onto a CD. There is a negative to this product, (this applies to the VHS to DVD 4.0 also). You have to have your stereo

next to your computer. You have cords that you need to plug into the stereo and into the computer. If you are using a laptop, no problem. If you aren’t, which I wasn’t, you have to move some things around.

When using the Audio Recorder 2.0, I highly recommend doing all of your sound adjustments before setting it to record. Once you start recording, you can not adjust the sound quality. When done correctly, the sound quality of your new CD will amaze you. You have to really listen hard to your new CD to tell that it is a recording of an album. Recordings I did from a cassette were high quality. I love that my music sounds better, and that I can’t tell that my new CD’s are recordings made from a cassette.
