ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 3.0 (Third Generation) - Record Video & Audio from VCR's, VHS, AV, RCA, Hi8, Camcorder, DVD, Turntables, Cassette Tapes [Requires Working VCR/Camcorder & Tapes]

The user manual alone is sets this device apart from any electronic gear I've purchased in a generation! I've done video to digital transfers through the years with other devices, and this is by far the best. It is incredibly functional, yet in a nice small package, with intuitive buttons and menus. Not being connected to a computer is so refreshing, with a micro SD card slot, a USB-C for power or to charge its internal battery, and the built in monitor is wonderful. One thing that any who are expecting higher resolution than this device produces should recognize is that analog video media had a top resolution of 720x480 (and actual television recorded on VHS was 640x480). You've got to accept that video was different from digital, with a much lower ceiling on what could be compressed into its magnetic tape. (And remember that television and camcorders had a nearly-square 4:3 format -- which, in my opinion, should be left at that aspect ratio to maintain its true character; so put the aspect to 640x480 for recorded tv shows. Don't stretch 'em.) From my test recordings and viewing on my desktop's video editor, I am very pleased with its captures. How much do I like this great little tool? I am about to buy another! I returned because I realized that for its price, and the miles of old tv shows on VHS and recorded video on Hi-8 I have waiting for conversion, I could cut my project time in half by running two of them at once. (And I can even do overnight recordings using its simple and effective timer.) I have finally found a way to actually archive my video media, rather than "wishing" I would, or the piecemeal stuff I've done in past years. So I'm going to make this a spring project. Send me another! (I'm now finishing my Beavis and Butt-Head "Moronathon" from MTV, complete with all the goofy stuff broadcast in the 1990s, including commercials. Pee-Wee's Playhouse is next. The original wake-n-bake tv show! Fun times, digitally preserved.)

Digitized my home movies years ago, the process was complicated and I had cables all over the place connecting the various devices. I lost everything when my hard drive crashed. The original tapes sat in a box for 20 years. I looked into sending the tapes to a digitizing services but the cost is astronomically high. Then I found this wonderful device. I can't stress enough how good this thing works. It's easy to use and the video quality is great. The video gets saved and stored on a USB drive and you can easily copy it to your PC or external hard drive for editing. The only gotcha is that you need a device that can play the original tapes. I had both Hi-8 and Mini-DV tapes and thankfully I saved the old camcorders and they still worked. Again, you need something that can play the tapes, this device will not do that... You can even use this device to digitize old VHS tapes as long as you have a VCR. I noticed a lot of negative comments from MAC users. It's not the MAC that is the problem, it's that the file type of the movie that gets created is MP4. MAC doesn't like this file format. No big deal, download a free file converter and convert it to MOV format. Problem solved. This device is amazing! I've been digitizing old tapes non-stop and haven't had a single issue. This product is worth it!

Incredible technology! Simple to employ. The capability of your equipment is excellent and is comforting for family memories, in its use, to archive a lasting imprint for a family’s legacy.

Found a bunch of old tapes from my childhood and decided to digitize them. This works well. I would say everything it does is 8.5/10. Biggest drawbacks are not something you can get away from with cheaper digitizing equipment. There is a random lag at times. It is hard to describe. It's like the digitized footage is blinking. It sort of jerks at random points and after a little reading, this is common. The video being digitized is basically rewinding for a millisecond. Cant really get away from it like I said. If I tried digitizing all over again it would just do it in other random spots. For the most part everything turned out well and watchable. Worth it for the nostalgia.

Wonderful product to convert VHS tapes! Works like a charm. Not to say. Its little techie as gadgets go, but it can be easily mastered. If results is what you're after thisx works.

I am digitizing hours and hours of old video for future generations. This converter is easy to use and produces outstanding quality videos. I was having some issues due to my old equipment, and customer service responded quickly and helped me out. Definitely a good investment.

Easy setup. Not complicated. Does what it says. Transfer of old VHS home video to USB quality is good. Surprised that it recorded as well as it did. Only as good as the original VHS though. So don’t expect miracles.

Cumpre o que promete. Fácil operação e ótimos resultados. Recomendo.

Si lo que quieres es digitalizar tus videos familiares, consolas de videojuego o archivos de audio, funciona de maravilla. Un video de 2 horas pesa aproximadamente 3gb lo cual es adecuado para grabar los videos en un DVD. A pesar de que la reproducción de videos se mira en pantalla ancha en el dispositivo, el video siempre mantendrá su aspecto original cuando copias el archivo a la computadora. Dependiendo de la buena calidad de tus cintas, discos o cámara, los videos se grabarán con una ligera mejoría. Literalmente cumple con la facilidad de uso al no tener que conectar tantas cosas como con otras capturadoras. El instructivo es claro y el servicio de atención es muy accesible con las dudas que tengas cuando lo contactas. Si lo que quieres es cambiar los formatos de los videos o usar otras configuraciones, este no te servirá. Los archivos siempre se grabarán en formato mp4 para video y mp3 para audio. El dispositivo solo funcionará con entradas RCA o S-Video, así que tampoco podrás grabar en HD.

Fast delivery and item as listed. Excellent converter. Thank you.

Perfect for my needs
