Converted my home videos from VHS and Hi8 with no problem. So easy to do. Good way to preserve home video to digital. For those whose have this connect to VHS and got no signal, try to adjust the tracking. If the tracking is off then you'll loose signal. I have no problem with my Hi8 tape deck. It adjusts the tracking automatically. It only save in MOV file , so the file can get very big. I use 512 GB micro SD with adapter and it writes to it with no problem. Didn't try to connect via DVD or Roku yet. I know HDMI has security encryption, video might not play correctly. We'll see. I'll update the review later once I'm done with converting home video. Highly recommended and by the way. I thought mine unit was DOA when I try to turn it on and nothing happen. I guess I have to let the battery get charged a little bit first before use.

Pretty easy to use. I was able to quickly hook up my old VCR using the HDMI cable and recorded a dozen VHS tapes to the included memory card. I did have to move the generated MOV files to my computer in order to make room as all of the tapes wouldn't fit on at the same time. Your mileage will depend on how much video you have to transfer. The included card is 64GB. Quality was pretty good - no complaints. There is a built-in speaker on the back of the unit but I didn't notice a volume control. And there's no way to turn off the monitor while it records. Handled both problems by sticking the unit in one of my desk drawers while it recorded. Longer videos won't export to a single MOV file. Instead, it seems to break the video either at a certain time or based on the size (seemed to be around 4.5GB per MOV file.) You'll want to pull the generated video files into an editing program - I used Adobe Premier Pro - in order to concatenate the MOV files. Once they have been joined in this way, playback appears seemless. Exporting to an MP4 netted a file that was roughly 4x smaller than the MOV file(s). Overall, pretty happy with this device. It did what I needed it to do.

Please note that the seller did not give me any benefits or any sorts of discount for my review of the purchase of this recorder. I am giving it an honest opinion for my extensive usage experience so that the future buyers would know the pros and cons before they make the buying decision. The reasons I gave it a 5 stars are the followings:1). It comes with everything you need includes a 50G sd card. A user manual, HDMI cable, charging cable with a transformer, a red, white & yellow RCA plugs for analog output source with a 3.5 mm male plug on other end for the recorder’s input( looks like an earphone jack) and it works fine.2). It’s small and light so it is easy to carry around but it doesn’t come with a carrying pouch or box for protection.3). The recorder is very easy to use. It can record vcr tapes and dvd videos to sd cards( have not try the usb memory stick yet). Plug the 3 colors cable to the vcr output source and plug the 3.5mm male plug into the record’s AV input(it works fine). Also, you can record dvd digit videos by using the provided HDMI cable output and plug it into the recorder directly. I used it for approximately 10 hours a day non stop for 7 days and it’s still alive and kicking. You can delete a single file or all files, set it for AV or HDMI, 1080p or 720p, the screen has a choice of showing time stamp and the length of the memory remaining. The file numbers on screen also. There’s also a few other settings that is easy to set.4). It can handle up to 126G size sd card. I tried with a higher memory size sd card and failed. I think126G is good enough. You get almost 21 hours of recordings if you set it at 720p which is not much difference than1080p(10 hours). But, remember, Micro sd card might not work if you use it for a while. It will give you messages like please format card or no card. It might not recognize it.5). Great seller’s quick responses to questions. Seller responded almost immediately to my questions.I rated it a 4 stars at first because below unsatisfactory situations but since the seller responded so fast therefore I decided to give a 5 stars rating, but I do have 5 below unsatisfied situations. But these unsatisfactory did not prevented me to rate the recorder with less stars because it had exceeded my minimum needs.1). The battery life only lasts approximately 1hour and 15 minutes.2). I need to reset it a few times to get it working again. That is after a few days of extensive used.3). This is not a dvd burner. You need to wait for the total time length of the video to finish the recording and that’s waste of time.*** 4). Important — For 1080p setting - It cuts off( blanks out) for 1 second and continues a second file after 24 minutes of recording and 50 minutes 25 seconds for 720p setting.5). It doesn’t come with a pouch or case for protection and it does not have earphone input jack.I feel that this recorder exceeds my expectations for the price that I paid. I am happy with its functionalities but I will see how long will this recorder last.

We used this device to transfer VHS tapes before the tapes degrade too much. This device made the job, VERY EASY, connecting cables was a cinch and the included SD card allowed me to copy several VHS tapes to the SD card. The display allowed me to check on the progress of transfer process to the SD card (or I could have inserted a jump drive if I needed more storage space). While you still have to monitor the transfer process, you can start the VHS player, watch the display to ensure the transfer is beginning and then check on the progress on occasion. I'm VERY pleased with this device!

When I had a problem with the device, the seller was very quick and thorough in solving it even though it was past the return window. Once I got the hang of it, it was easy to set up and use. Now I'm happily converting old VHS and miniDV tapes and sharing those videos with my family.

The media could not be loaded. Blue screen. Nothing is happening. Checked and rechecked all connections...

The device worked while it lasted, but I cannot recommend this device as a dependable investment. I now freezes and never records into my SD card. I purchased this less than 2 years ago and in the market for a new one. Definitely staying away from this brand.
