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)

This has been a great device for easily converting VHS tapes and mini DVs and other formats into either a USB stick or TFF card for easy transfer to a computer hard drive. Note that it has to be fully charged in order for the videos (from VHS at least) to be readable on a computer; otherwise the files can't be played on a computer. But once it's plugged in and charged up everything works fine and it's easy to use.

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.

Absolutely worth every penny. It is so simple and easy to use. I was dreading it at first because I have a lot of old tapes but this has made it a lot less cumbersome. The only problem I ran into was my own fault. I used a 500GB jump drive and after about 40GB of files, they started to corrupt. Once I cleared the card out and moved them onto my computer, the files quit corrupting. Don’t let too much pile up on one card before moving them. I had to redo three hours of videos because of that but it was my own fault for not moving it sooner. The system works great and is very versatile for all kinds of old technology and the picture quality is a good as the camera you used

I had a setup on my computer to digitize my vhs tapes but it would store it on the computer, then I would have to move it to an extended storage. This converter doesn't even need a computer, you hook it up to your VHS player and to your extended storage, and that's it. Easy to use and great quality.

This is a fantastic little digitizer. I have spent at least 18 hours using it and it does very well. I have digitized both VHS and Hi8 using the S-video line. The playback quality is really good, there is no issue with videos with a lot of motion getting blurry like I had with my older computer based digitizer. Keep in mind this does not upscale but it does give you options to change sample rate and resolution of the capture of the device itself which is very nice....there is no degrading between the media on tape to the digitized media which is great. The only issue I have ran into is that some old VHS tapes would have a space that would have data rot and the digitizer would try to sense if the media was NTSC or PAL at that moment and stop recording....this only happened a few times but wasn't a problem since I was monitoring recordings the whole time. Some other great things about this digitizer is that it has a great little internal monitor screen with speaker so you can use this box alone with the VCR or Camcorder or you have the option to plug it into HDMI and actually watch it on a tv while you digitize. I put a 512GB TF card in mine but found it was best to transfer data off TF card after every tape to not get confused of data on card...i don't believe you can rename files on device itself so can get messy with lots of tapes digitized. Each VHS tape is around 10GB of data so you can use a much smaller TF card than what I bought. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this digiter for the money and its very simple to setup and use. Your results may vary based on your VHS data or the VCR you use but my results with S-Video has been very pleasing.

was cautiously optimistic based on the reviews and i could not be happier now that i’ve used it! this thing works so well! in the past i used converters that connected to a computer and you had to use software to capture the video which worked ok but id get distortions in the picture sometimes. But with this product the picture is stable 99% of the time and it’s so easy to use! also, it automatically detects if the video source is PAL or NTSC which i didn’t think to check so am very happy it does that straight out of the box. one thing to keep in mind is you have to connect a usb storage device for the files to get saved to and they recommend only flash drives and not external HDD or SSD unless those have their own power supplies. the device is not made to provide power to such drives so using those may have negative effects on the video capture such as lagging and file corruption

Fantastic product, so far! I have a few old camcorders with media containing a lot of precious memories. I hooked it all up and started recording from my 8mm tapes. I recorded to a 128GB usb drive. After recording a few scenes, I popped the drive into my computer and played a couple of them. Works perfectly! Picture is as good as it is on the tape as is the audio. Sounds is really good and matches up to people’s mouths. It’s easy to connect everything. I think the value for the money is great! I contacted a few places and it’s very expensive to have them do it. I highly recommend this product!

Excellent converter. It is easy to use and converted several old vhs tapes from 70’s and 80s to digital format. I like you can use the screen on the converter so a tv is not required but you do need the vhs player to connect to the converter. Sound and video quality was great and what I would have expected which was equal if not a little better than the VHS but now I don’t have to rely on the old tapes or a player for them. Excellent product and excited to have these vhs tapes on digital format now.
