4K Capture Box-1080P 60FPS Video to Digital Converter 4K HDMI/CVBS/VGA/YPBPR Inputs Video Recorder Capture from VCR, DVD, VHS Tapes, Hi8, Camcorders, Gaming Systems

Quality made unit, lots of features, and will record anything! Plugged in a Blu-ray player and a Fire Stick and it recorded them perfectly! I'm using a 1 TB SSD drive and record at the highest quality. Always excellent results only one downfall is it records only in stereo and is not record in Dolby digital or any other surround format. Just PCM 2 channel stereo.Getting the small coin battery in is a bit of a challenge you have to use the edge of a knife to pry back the connector on the right side to get the battery to pop in underneath the connection. That is the only downfall really!I frequently record shows such as Ancient Aliens from cable and give it to my friends on SD card so they can play back on their Android box.I've not purchased the larger backup battery yet but I plan on it. That way this would be a great little unit to take on a trip to watch movies with enclosed SD card memory. It will accept up to a 512 GB SD card.You will be very happy with this unit!

I bought this during Prime Days at a sale price which was a good deal especially with an extra 10% coupon provided by the seller. I looked at several models and they all seem to offer the same features. A handful will also record 4K but not this model although the seller says the development team has that feature in the pipeline. It can however handle 4K content but only records in 1080p. Some bonus extras include a portable tripod and a carrying case which I'm not sure if other competitors offer. I have not had any issues with HDCP (yet) because I route the output of the bluray player through a splitter (Zi-Youren branded) known to strip out HDCP. I have not bothered connecting it directly to the bluray player but I suspect it will show an error due to HDCP. One issue with *all* capture boxes is that they only record stereo audio, not 5.1. I'm not sure why none have been able to provide that feature. Perhaps it requires much more real-time computing power which no company has yet invested in. I would imagine if ability to record 5.1 is a feature, it would be flaunted in their descriptions. I needed a capture box primarily to rip discs that come up with errors using MakeMKV. Since bluray players are forgiving, they will play these discs with small glitches in video and audio at those error points. I have about 12TB of ripped files so far on a NAS which I use as a Plex server so I can stream on my Roku and FireTV boxes on-demand. Much more efficient than rummaging through a mountain of discs. I would've given this capture box 5 stars if it recorded in 4K and 5.1 audio. Maybe they'll be the first company to offer that in the future.Update: Even though the listing states that you can capture from VHS, etc, there is no composite or S-Video inputs, although there is an analog audio input jack. So, the only way you can capture from analog video is to have a composite video to HDMI converter box as the only inputs are the HD1 and HD2 HDMI inputs.

Great converter. Easy one step record, just play and record. Im not a video resolution expert but the conversion from VHS looks and sounds great to me. So much better than sending tapes out to a third party company. You'll need a VHS, camcorder etc to play the tapes on as this device just converts them to a USB or other drive.

HDMI 1 is not working properly. HDMI 2 is good.

The product is relatively inexpensive. It is also fairly easy to use. But it does not come with good detailed instructions.The quality of picture is good but my unit seems to not work as it should. When it records it freezes occasionally.This does not happen when I play a vhs tape on my tv just when recording. It is a little annoying.*** update ***I sent the previous product in and the company sent me a new one that does not have the same problem as the previous one.No more freezing just good smooth T-120 VHS recording.

I like this monitor recorder. I was looking at other unit the cost more than twice of this unit but being in my late seventies and having been in the film and video business more than fifty years I was not willing to spend the money on a new camera. I figured I could just improve the recording from the camera head and that would last longer then I will. I first ran a test using a Sony Z7U camera and recorded a color chart. The results was very good. I then repeated the test using a Sony Handicam C580 and once again the results were very good. Next I used and old JVC GY-500 DV shoulder held news camera and ran the signal through a composite to HDMI converter and had very good results. The last test was just recording Bars and that was very clean. The manual is well written and easy to follow. I also recorded to a SD card, Thumb drive, a HD drive and a SSD drive. After reformatting the drives I was able to record clips longer than 40 minutes as one clip, did not try any thing longer. Good image on the screen. The buttons are well laid out. If I could change anything it would be the placement of the time, if you have it displayed on the recorded image. I think it would be better in the lower third so you could hide it with graphics.

While hookup and use is fairly straight forward I'm having problems and inconsistencies with the recordings. Some are not recognizable on my computer by the player software. I have to redo them to see if that helps. Takes allot of time.

This digital recorder is a great way to digitize old movies recorded on VHS tapes. I also was able to successfully record directly from my MacBook Pro via the HDMI port and the resulting recording was excellent.Only one small issue with the functions provided. It will not allow you to format the recording media, either a USB device or SD card. If that function were provided, I would purchase a second unit for another project I have.I highly recommend this device for converting old media to digital format, or recording live programs via a computer..
