Does what it says
3 of 3 found this helpful It would be nice if there were more settings / adjustments for picture quality, but it's still a good value. I was able to set it up with an old hi8 camera and start converting my tapes to digital files. I was lucky enough to have an empty SD card to use (8GB) so I've been using that to transfer files to a more permanent hard drive. Overall the workflow is pretty clean but it is mostly manual, I have to sync the start of the tape and the converter old school style and then watch for the end of each clip. I suppose if I didn't care I could just let it run but I was concerned about file size. There is some slight evidence of frame drops / choppy interpolation but I'll take it. The final product looks light years better than videos from my early Android phones. Now I just need more time to transfer all my tapes...
