Review on Upgrade Your Viewing Experience With ClearClick AV To HD Converter & Recorder 2.0 - Watch And Record Classic Video Formats To Your HDTV! by Matthew Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy stand-alone video capture to USB stick

Do you have a collection of VHS tapes and a working player but need to free up all the space they take up? You’re in luck! Plug the analog RCA jacks from the VCR into the capture box and then plug a thumb drive into its USB port, power everything on, set the aspect ratio and resolution switches, and you’re ready to go. Plug an HDMI monitor in for confidence monitoring if you wish.This won’t break macrovision, but for non-encoded tapes and home recordings it’s the easiest way I’ve found to dub a tape and be done with it. It won’t improve VHS quality, but it has created digital versions that look pretty much exactly like the tape looks on playback, so I’m sold. The goal is to preserve what’s on the tapes by creating a more durable copy than VHS (tape can break, players are getting older and less reliable, etc…) and this makes that easy to do.If you can press buttons and plug in a USB thumb drive, you can operate this converter without any problems!
