Portta VHS to Digital Converter, Video to Digital Recorder with Remote, Compatible with VHS, VCR, DVR, DVD, Hi8, Mini DV Players, Camcorder, Gaming Consoles (Tapes/DVD Player Not Included)

I purchased this VHS to Digital Converter for my husband, who has a collection of media on VHS that he wants to convert to a digital format. Wow! This digital converter is fantastic and easy to use! Everything about it exceeded my husband's expectations.- Comes in a nice sturdy box for storage.- Outstanding quality of design, components, and construction. All of the ports are easy to access on the converter box.- Informative and easy to follow instructions.- Comes with all of the cables you need, plus a remote control unit.- Very easy to use with excellent digital quality of both visual picture and sound after the conversion. No jumpy or skipping digital video.- Can pause at any time, and come back to the conversion. Can also take snapshots of individual frames.- A terrific value.I highly recommend this product.

Simple and intuitive to use. It may be OEM but it’s well-made and so far dependable.

I am using this to transfer many old VHS, 8mm and MiniDV camcorder tapes to digital files. It works great! Easy to use and transfers directly to micro SD cards. No computer needed. Small screen shows what is being recorded and is helpful in editing.NOTE: This is only for transferring ANALOG video to digital and you must have a device to play your original tapes. (I'm using my old VCR and camcorders to output into this device).

4/5 Stars!KEY TAKE: This product works as intended and retains both visual and audio quality from the video itself. I was a well-documented child growing up, and my family kept all of the old VHS-C tapes at home. I used this to convert those old tapes into digital files and it's all very easy to use.Remember, this is just a recorder. Which means if you're in my shoes, you'll need to rewind the tapes, and play to record from start to finish.----NOTES----- CORDS: When you receive the package, the converter comes with several cords outside of the charger/power cord (AUX cord, AV cords). It may be a bit confusing. You don't need to use the other cords, unless your equipment calls for it. But if you're like me, I used a Panasonic camcorder to play my tapes and hooked that up to the converter. I already had an AV cable for the camera, so I plugged the other end into the converter and it worked. Yes, the audio was also included. Very simple. I ended up not using the other cords, aside from the one to power the converter.- STORAGE: Make sure you have something to save the files onto. I have a lot of USB drives and saved my recordings onto that by hooking that into the converter. Pick a drive that fits your needs. If you have A LOT, like me, get something like 128GB. Each tape I have is at least an hour to an hour half long. So each recorded file came out to around 2.5GB to 3GB. Use that as a measure, if it helps.- RECORDING: I didn't need to touch most of the settings in my case, but you know you've stopped recording when it says 'SAVING' when you stop. It does not stop automatically.- CORRUPTED FILE: I was recording a tape, and also had the recorder hooked up to my TV so I could watch on a bigger screen while recording. At one point, right as it finished and before I hit the stop button, I pulled out the HDMI to move elsewhere. This made my converter freeze up, which messed with my recording. The file exists, but it cannot be opened, so safe to say the file was corrupted. Don't pull cords out when you're recording and leave it untouched!Glitch file corruption aside (a bit of a user error), the build is plastic but decently made. Good overall, hence a 4/5.

After trying a software program from an "app store" ($75 charged in Hong Kong! What could possibly go wrong?) that failed badly (harsh review for them in "SEPCOR"), I bought this hardware.Fortunately, I still have a DVD player with RGB plugs for which this device fits. It is EASY TO USE. IT WORKS EXACTLY the way they say it does! Sure, it's bit more expensive, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!I was able to transfer videos I took on a DVD video camera in 2005 (in a very bizarre format) and turn them in MPEG4 files in "real time." What made it really nice is that the DVDs displayed their contents which this device could record what was being displayed on the TV screen by just pressing "RECORD."Now 8 DVDs of 30 minutes each taken during hurricane Katrina in 2005 are now SAVED in a modern format.

Easy to connect and use ,was able to rescue old family videos from vhs and convert it to mp4 ,very happy with this item

Works perfectly. I was able to easily transfer my old VHS tapes over to a MP4 Digital format. Picture quality is very good, the colors look correct and the sound is captured in sync with the picture. I like the small video screen that shows what I am copying.

This was very easy to use. I am not particularly tech savvy, but I found it straightforward and simple. I was able to see all my videos as I was recording on the device making it easy to stop and start where I wanted. I now have all my VHS material on a USB and can get rid of the bulky tapes.
