The Easy VHS to DVD for Mac sends the captured video - by default - to my Movies folder in the Main Drive.  Problem is I don't have much room left on my main drive.  Does anyone know how to change the destination folder?  I'd like to have the captured footage saved on a firewire drive where I have lots of space.  Thanks to any and all who respond...

You can't. Read this from the Roxio Expert on the program (not me).

I agree completely. I just purchased and installed this product, and like the product so far. But the first thing that jumped in my face is that the application doesn't prompt or allow you to change the working or destination directory.

FYI to any support engineers reading this,  Most of us users understand your desire to keep this program an idiot-proof program for novices. But you absolutely need to add a preferences panel that allows selection of the drive and directory that you capture/write data to.  Although it might be fine for the occasional or casual user to use their system drive to write video data, it's never a good idea to dump big video files on the same disk drive as the OS and Programs are running.   I have a serious need to be in control of where I extract data, and it's always been my preference to put it in a project folder that isn't on my boot drive.  

Your application is really slick and well-executed, I'm completely satisfied with Easy VHS to DVD for Mac with this one  exception.  As luck would have it, I purchased it to ingest a huge volume of old VHS tapes for a family reunion, and having to 'babysit' the free space on my system drive, and manually move things into my project folder on another drive is really just an unnecessary step.

I just installed roxio easy VHS to DVD. no problem there.

(1) I can't capture video recording from my SONY Handycam to the computer hard disc. The pulled down menu shows only the DVD drive.

(2) After the desired video was captured and finish button was clicked, the burn project stopped at 97%/ 100% showing an error message (not possible to record or some such thing) It said see details but clicking details gave no further info.
