ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 (Second Generation) Mini Edition - Record Video from VCR's, VHS Tapes, AV, RCA, Hi8, Camcorder, DVD, Gaming Systems

This is a 3rd device I have tried for RCA signal (the yellow video and red/white audio cables) to digital conversion and the best one yet. You just plug in a usb flash drive to the device, play your source video (camcorder, video cassette player etc.) which show up on the small device screen, at which point you press record. A word advice, don't power off the device or unplug the flash drive unless you stop recording first, in order for the device to finalize the recorded file. If you do, the video that has been saving on the flash drive wont be readable on the PC.

I bought this for the same reason everyone else would be. To capture old memories. I was in a band for a long time in the late 80s and 90s and I video taped almost every show we did here in Rochester, NY and other cities. To date, I have captured over 50 +/- videos. Some long lengths, some short. It really IS as easy as it is described as. Simply plug in the cables to the VCR or HIGH- camera, or what ever device you have that has video and needs to S-Video and/or AV-Cables (Red White and8 Yellow), press play on the unit, and when you want to start recording, just hit the REC red button on the device. Its a little tricky, though. Sometimes pressing it quickly will just take a snapshot picture and save it to your USB Drive. So, you may have to hold it down for like a second or two to see the counter start on the top left. When you are done, just hit the red button again and stop. Then just repeat the process. The quirk: I noticed when you start a recording a video and then stop the recording, then remove the USB stick from the unit, for some reason or other it doesn't save. No idea why. So, with that said, I tried something. I recorded a 20 minute long video, then stopped the recording process. Then, I started recording more. I did a total of three clips. Then I unplugged the POWER from the unit and then pulled the USB out and inserted it in to my laptop. All the files were there. So, that is a trick I noticed I could do to get around that one quirk. The screen IS small on the unit, but I knew that going in. All you need is an HDMI cable to attach to the unit and in to your TV or whatever. Once you do that, the video on the unit turns off and you can see the video on your big screen. Note: Everything you see on the little screen (the time-code, timer, settings at the top) are displayed on the TV as well. You just have to choose one or the other while you're capturing. The file is an .MP4 video file. What you see on the tape is what you get un-compressed. So, garbage in, garbage out. Good video in, good video captured! The file sizes it creates for a 2hr VHS tape recorded in SP mode on the VHS camera originally came to be 4GB (Gigabytes). I don't recommend using a storage drive like a NAS device or an external drive. Stick to fast USB 3.0 sticks.

Excellent convertisseur qui n'arrête pas lorsqu'il capte un trou dans une vidéo (vs un compétiteur assez semblable) Seul hic, l'écran est très petit. Préférable un 5". De plus, diite à un petit problème, leur service â la clientèle a été hors pair. Ils répondent assez rapidement et efficacement.

Very doable

After trying a cheap capture card with expectantly poor results, I decided to buy this device as is one of the most talked all-in-one devices to capture vhs tapes, with usually good reviews. The results are simply unwatchable, as you can see from my video sample. Believe it or not, in the original VHS video, the kids actually faces! You can actually use your smartphone and film the screen, with much better results (stupid as it is, I'm not kidding). I obviously wasn't expecting professional results, but in my opinion this product shouldn't exist at all. I received it yesterday, and I'm returning it today.

Vale el precio, es súper sencillo de usar y sobre todo reliable
