Another benefit of the S-video input is for capturing true BW video, which is pure 60Hz vs the 59.94Hz of color NTSC. Also, the composite video input has a notch filter for the color signal that smears the BW video mid-band. BW captured through the Y channel of the YC input looks fantastic. Get a YC breakout cable, plug in your BW source (Y) and just ignore the (C) chroma . I did this recently with a silly project on my channel called the Cartrivision Portapac, where I was repurposing the BW camera for that obsolete video tape system. I used the ClearClick 1 for my recorder. Worked great.

Hello! What deinterlacing method applied, does it preferable and can produce 50/60p from 50/60i (motion adaptive)?

[@SPhone-tz1di]

Well! We shall see...

[@kakurerud7516]

TBC?

[@sebastianjapal]

DID U USE S VIDEO TO S VIDOE CABLE?

[@EarlBalentine]

I got a bunch (30) old VHS family videos I need to convert to digital thumb drive or something newer. Is this the best converter on the market for DIY?

[@iyarten]

Ask me after a month! I just purchased it.. and I can’t wait to give it a try

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

It's certainly very decent for what is not a professional tool. I have used it for some of the videos on my channel.

[@marks101885]

​@@iyarten well?........It's been a month. 😅 How did it go?

[@cesarcarreno_]

following

[@clearclick]

Yes, it is! But we're biased :)

[@sidstevens9035]

VHS is a 4×3 format but your converter shows a 16x9 format. How is this possible ?

[@clearclick]

The recorder is 3:2 by default, but you can change to 4:3 in the converter's menu/settings!

[@sabreenwaheed8185]

Hoping someone can help me please 🙏 The vhs player is have has the red and white only I need the yellow to acces the video, please can someone advise me

[@sharifsalem]

Red and white are for audio only. Your VCR must then have an s-video connector as shown in video. Please double check.

[@maxxxamt]

Does anyone know if I can record from the device without taping something on the camcorder first? For example can I record what is shown on the viewfinder without anything being recorded on the camcorder? Or do I need to record to tape>playback to the converter? Idk if this is a dumb question or if it even makes sense lol can someone help me :0

[@nkbeatzoff]

I think you can record videos using this device without tapes

[@nkbeatzoff]

I think you can record videos using this device without tapes

[@krazyhartin]

Can it record 720x480 at 60 FPS? I see similar products limited to 30 FPS only.

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

The instruction manual suggests it can operate at 720x480p60

[@HeinleinShinobu]

can I use external hard disk instead of usb drive？

[@clearclick]

Some are compatible, while others are not. That's why we officially recommend a USB flash drive that is 512GB or smaller.

[@williamtsang7797]

Does it record stereo (2 channels sound) when record the video?

[@magdev0]

As long as you're connecting Red and White, you'll capture stereo. Of course, your audio stream has to be in stereo.

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

I captured a music programme broadcast in stereo and the resulting MP4 does rather sound like it's stereo.

[@teegees]

This is cool. Some questions: 1) What video file format does it save to and is there a way to set the compression quality to optimize for either quality (less artifacts) or quantity (more footage per GB) 2) Does it upscale without distorting, even if the source is 4:3 and the output is 16:9 aspect ratio? 3) What happens when eventually the battery no longer holds a charge? Can it be replaced? Can this product still be used plugged in? 4) Can I connect it to a TV for viewing on a bigger screen?

[@teegees]

@@GrymsArchive Wow. Thank you 🙏 It seems you get what you pay for in this craft. Appreciate your detailed answer. Is there any reasonably priced brand you use and trust for analog capture? Elgato comes to mind as I see quite a number of archivers use it. But is there anything better?

[@alphabeets]

@@teegeesget a Cloner Alliance Box Pro or one of their devices. It upscales and does not (comically) stretch 4/3 video to fit wide screen. It will also record ANYTHING- even streaming video!

[@teegees]

@@alphabeets thanks actually I was looking at exactly that!

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

There is no battery. It has to be connected to a mains power source.

[@eddiecarlton7581]

What is the picture quality like after the copy to USB?

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

It is completely dependent on the quality of the source material.

[@jasonbaez5996]

Do we still need a tape to record and save the recording on the sd card

[@teegees]

The tape (VHS tape) is your source material. This product transfers the tape’s content to a video file on the SD or USB drive.

[@maxxxamt]

@@teegeesso you can’t just record what’s shown on the viewfinder? You need to record on the camcorder to tape, then play it back to the converter to record?

[@teegees]

@@maxxxamt Not sure I understand the question. If the recording on the tape is shown in the viewfinder, yes it will be captured to digital. That’s the entire point of the product.

[@lassaitaoui4947]

you cant watch the video to end because the background music make the video so bad to listen

[@ivanjiliiwacutv684]

Can I buy this tool? How?

[@clearclick]

See the link in the description!

[@joshuapowell1868]

[@EarlBalentine]

I had a VHS camcorder many years go so all my family vacation movies are still on VHS and need to be convertered to digital thumb drives. Plus the thumb drives take up less space.
