Rating: - I am very pleased.
I almost did not buy this Pinnacle device after reading all of the cautious and negative Amazon reviews on the Pinnacle Video Transfer. I ignored the negativity an bought one because I really wanted easy video IPOD recording. I now have used the Pinnacle Video Transfer for a little more than a week and I am very pleased.
I bought this device about two weeks ago because I own an 80GB IPOD and my IPOD hard disk was less than half full of videos despite the many hours I spent filling ... Read More
Rating: - Worked Perfectly
This device is well designed, very simple to use, and it actually does what it is advertised to do (unlike too many products these days). It's great for transfering VHS tapes & DVD's to MPEG4 files. It will also capture TV shows and save those to MPEG4 files as well.
It can be used with either standard red, white, & yellow connectors OR an S-Video connector. I bought an expensive S-Video connector to see if it made a difference in the quality of the video capture. I didn't notice ... Read More
Rating: - Killed a hard drive AND my iPod
This piece of junk would not work for me at all. I followed the directions, plugged in a brand new external hard drive and waited for the usb port light to turn on, the unit just shut itself off. Tried several more times with same results. Then tried to plug it into my Ipod (5g video), same results. Now, both the hard drive and the Ipod are completely unresponsive. 80gb of music and video wiped out just like that. JUNK!
Rating: - Video Transfer for the "Video Challenged"
Let me start by saying I'm not any kind of expert in video technology - I usually just hand stuff over to my son and he takes it from there. That said, I wanted something to transfer my old family VHS tapes to a digital format. I had read in a local paper that this device was quite easy to use, so I gave it a try.
I had no trouble connecting to the TV or my very old VHS player - the device recognized both quickly. I did have some trouble with the storage drives. It didn't recognize ... Read More
Rating: - Easy to use, but poor video quality
While I was surprised at the ease of use of this device, I was disappointing at the poor quality of the video it produces.
This is a well designed device that does exactly as it promises: transfers analog video to digital with a simple click.
Now, here you have the disappointing parts:
- The resulting video is very pixelated, even in "highest quality" mode. No better than what you'll find in youtube.
- It doesn't resolve interlaced video properly, producing ... Read More
