I have Toast. Do I need the full prog or just the cable?

[paulk]

I notice from the Roxio website options to buy the full 'Easy VHS to DVD for Mac' at £59.99 which includes Toast basic or 'Video Capture USB for Mac' at £49.99. I already own Toast so do I just need the Video Capture cable?

 

Also... couldn't help noticing the PC equivalent is £34.99. Why is this?

 

I'm asking here as when I sent a query ticket to Roxio I was sent back 2 links to the website: one for software updates, one for the online store. But no answer to my question.

Thanks for the response. Now I'm puzzled why they sell the cable separately at all - maybe it comes with a Mac driver that costs £15 more than the PC one :-)

 

The response to my query to Roxio tech support was a link to the software update page and a link to the online store...

 

The Mac versions includes capture software (Easy VHS to DVD Capture), the PC version does not.

Haven't you heard, MACs are more expensive. New product, lower volume, marketing strategy; take your pick.

 

You need the capture device and the actual VHS to DVD program. You get the lite version of Toast 9 just in case you do not own Toast. I did not even install that.
