ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 3.0 (Third Generation) - Record Video & Audio from VCR's, VHS, AV, RCA, Hi8, Camcorder, DVD, Turntables, Cassette Tapes [Requires Working VCR/Camcorder & Tapes]

I don't usually write reviews but in this case, it is warranted. Five stars for the ClearClick Video2Digital 3.0. I have been using this device on weekends to capture media from video (beta / VHS and audio) tape devices. Great results. The menus are easy to figure out, and once recordings are captured it's a simple process to move the files over to some sort of permanent storage. I especially like the auto-stop feature so I don't have to sit and monitor recordings. I can see and hear the recording while in process to identify potential problems (from malfunctions of the tape player). Videos are saved as .mp4 and audio as .mp3. The most work involved from my perspective is keeping source tapes in order, then going back to relist the files with meaningful names (replacing ClearClick's default of date/time, etc.). I have purchased three ClearClick devices, and they all are good products (and still work), but the Video2Digital is best of all because I can capture without using my computer. Also - I entered a tech-support question early on a Sunday morning and had a quick, personalized response within ten minutes. What manufacturer has THAT level of customer support? Highly recommend.

Easy to use. Works perfectly. I used this with my camcorder and was amazed at the ease of use and the quality of the video. Big THANKS TO Clearclick. Great product.

The user manual alone is sets this device apart from any electronic gear I've purchased in a generation! I've done video to digital transfers through the years with other devices, and this is by far the best. It is incredibly functional, yet in a nice small package, with intuitive buttons and menus. Not being connected to a computer is so refreshing, with a micro SD card slot, a USB-C for power or to charge its internal battery, and the built in monitor is wonderful. One thing that any who are expecting higher resolution than this device produces should recognize is that analog video media had a top resolution of 720x480 (and actual television recorded on VHS was 640x480). You've got to accept that video was different from digital, with a much lower ceiling on what could be compressed into its magnetic tape. (And remember that television and camcorders had a nearly-square 4:3 format -- which, in my opinion, should be left at that aspect ratio to maintain its true character; so put the aspect to 640x480 for recorded tv shows. Don't stretch 'em.) From my test recordings and viewing on my desktop's video editor, I am very pleased with its captures. How much do I like this great little tool? I am about to buy another! I returned because I realized that for its price, and the miles of old tv shows on VHS and recorded video on Hi-8 I have waiting for conversion, I could cut my project time in half by running two of them at once. (And I can even do overnight recordings using its simple and effective timer.) I have finally found a way to actually archive my video media, rather than "wishing" I would, or the piecemeal stuff I've done in past years. So I'm going to make this a spring project. Send me another! (I'm now finishing my Beavis and Butt-Head "Moronathon" from MTV, complete with all the goofy stuff broadcast in the 1990s, including commercials. Pee-Wee's Playhouse is next. The original wake-n-bake tv show! Fun times, digitally preserved.)

I bought this item because I wanted to save my 8mm to M-Disc and use the S video output. The unit is easy to use and connect to. I have both reg 8mm, and Digital 8, tapes. What these manufacturers should not only state the file type and video size, but the rated of the video signal. Compared to the last video device I used, this unit seems to have lower quality, and I can see it when I enlarge the size of the video. I also have to re-edit them, because there is nowhere to adjust or program if the video needs to adjust color and or brightness etc. I'm glad I bought it, but they should increase the video rate, because it's not being burned to a DVD disc. Back in the days, some DVD players, would not play if the video had a rate over 8500.

works exactly as advertised. It's so easy to operate and digitize your old camcorder footage.

For a number of years, I've had 8mm, Hi-8mm and audio cassette tapes sitting in my closet. After transferring some to digital video formats like MP4 through video companies, it was getting rather expensive. Thankfully, I kept my high-end 8mm/Hi-8mm cassette deck. I bought the ClearClick converter to see if it indeed works on transferring video to digital. In short, it does and it does well. The ClearClick is very intuitive and easy to use. I found it works best with a USB drive. For some reason, I was not able to use the S-video output into the ClearClick from my cassette deck. But the resolution is very low on these 8mm/Hi-8mm tapes anyway. The image quality from the transfers varies on the type of cassette and camcorder I used originally. Some transfers look bland while others not so bad. After all, we're comparing 30 year+ video resolution to today's HD and 4K resolution. Audio quality was surprisingly accurate to the original tapes. I taped in stereo on those cassettes and transferred the audio to WAV quality. I also transferred audio from audio cassettes and again, audio quality varied on the original recording, tape quality and cassette deck. Some sounded okay while others much better. This little converter is well worth the reasonable price.

Easy setup. Not complicated. Does what it says. Transfer of old VHS home video to USB quality is good. Surprised that it recorded as well as it did. Only as good as the original VHS though. So don’t expect miracles.
