Easy to use

At first I thought this little box couldn’t possibly convert my old tapes but it really works. I am really pleased to be able to archive our memories.

WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024

I guess you get what you pay for. $ 90 later and a product that doesn't really work. Sometimes I can convert HI8 tapes for less than 2 minutes, then I lose video (it freezes), but have sound. Most of the time I get maybe 20 seconds. JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK ... DO NOT BUY... WASTE OF MONEY.

Works great

I didn’t realize it automatically puts a date tag in the bottom corner, but it can be turned off easily. Some have said the audio gets out of sync when put on the computer, but I noticed when converting it from AVI to MP4 the audio gets in sync again. There is an odd glitch that happens at the beginning of a recording where the video skips around for a couple seconds before recording normally, but usually waiting a couple seconds before i shoot the thing I’m recording helps with that

Audio is pretty good. Video is ok.

For what it costs, it does a decent job. Audio portion does pretty well. Video is not as good as I wished for, but I couldn't afford to spend more. Video lacks the color that my VHS tapes are showing and clarity is not as good. But But, all I wanted was digital backup in case something happened to my originals & a way for future generations to view their childhood.

Broken SD card out of box

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

Verified Purchase

Came with a 4gb SD card that doesnt work at all, not even when plugged into a computer. Found a backup SD card I had plugged in and it works no problem. Picture quality seems a little bit faded when compared to directly from the camera but other then that is pretty good. Included cords didnt work either but I got lucky and found one around the house.

Simple

I have just started using this device but it works very easily. Power it on and hit record. Super simple and the MPEG4 files come out clean and with resolution equal to the input device.

Broke after a few hours of use

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024

Verified Purchase

I work with computers and analog equipment for my job. I treat products with the utmost care. I was very disappointed when my device wouldn’t turn back on after I converted a few videos. It seems to be made very cheap. The return was very difficult through the app. I wish I could’ve taken it back to an Amazon drop off point in Whole Foods. No luck. Waste of money.

Works

It plays fine using the box. You can slide the sd card into your computer, but with the copyright protection scheme, the sound is not synchronized with the picture. I just watch it through the box. Works fine. (At least on my system). Better than the scheme coming to Off The Air tv transmissions.

Straightforward to use. AVOID using the included micro SD card

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

The device was very simple to set up and was pretty much just plug and play with my Sony CCD-TR64. As other people have mentioned the files it generates are in .avi format but converting to mp4 with something like handbrake or shutter is no big deal. HOWEVER - I would only use the included micro SD as a way to test that everything works. Your mileage may vary but when converting the avi files to mp4 that were originally recorded on the included micro SD I would get a lot of glitching and audio desync issues, but the files would be completely fine when played back as avi. I swapped it out for a 32gb sandisk SDHC card and now both the avi files and mp4 files are perfectly fine. Also worth noting that the listing says it uses a type c usb cable to charge but it actually uses a mini usb cable (which is included so not a huge deal).

Something loose inside

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Seems to work good but there is something rattling around inside so who knows how long it will work. I don't see a way to contact the company/seller directly to try and figure this out and I imagine Amazon will just tell me to return it and then repurchase at the now higher price. Hopefully I can get ahold of the seller because it seems like the perfect device to capture video from my modified PXL2000, but with loose parts, I don't imagine it will work for long!
EDIT: was able to do a straight exchange through Amazon once I figured that out and the new unit seems to work fine.
