ClearClick Video to USB 1080P Audio Video Capture & Live Streaming Device - Input HDMI, AV, RCA, S-Video, VCR, VHS, Camcorder, Video8, Hi8, DVD, Gaming Systems - USB-C Plug & Play

Much better than I expected and very glad it allows me to use OBS, or whatever, so I can select the sample rates I like. The hardware is obviously sampling before I set my preferences but whatever it is doing, for $70, it is doing well when it comes to my old VHS tapes from the 1990s. Excellent value and does what it says and just works fine on my Mac running the latest macos Tahoe 26. I bought more expensive converters in the past that tied my hands to their software which was "meh" but in this case you can choose the software you want to use. I used OBS which they recommended, so I didn't try any other software, I just got straight to it, converted to MKV container and FFV1/PCM codecs and it works as advertised.

Works well for VHS transfers with OBS software but I recommend that you watch several videos on how optimize OBS for VHS capture. The learning curve is not steep, just copy the handful of settings for OBS for VHS transfer. The quality is excellent, of course, with the caveat that SD is nothing like modern formats, but after upscaling to HD using the composite video output, I could not find an S video output cable in my collection of cables, I was surprised how well 40 year old VHS video held up. As a side note, I wasn’t surprised that a couple of tapes had fused, tape stuck together in the cassette, and would not play.

I use this to digitize all my old family VHS tapes. I used OBS Studio for the recorder. It was easy to setup up get recording. I was able to adjust the frame rate to match the VHS, and the VHS was lower video quality than this can provide, so 4k wouldn't have helped. The longest recording day was about 10 hours non stop, no issues with the recorder. The device didn't overheat and performed great.

This device works great for what I was looking for. I'm able to connect my Blu-ray player to the AV video and record stuff onto the computer for personal use. The only issue I encounter was the HDMI input where it has a hdcp copyright protection. I tried three different HDMI splitters in order to record using the HDMI, but with no success. Either I didn't get the right brands, or it doesn't work for the Blu-ray player at all. If anybody is able to, I'd like to know if there is an adapter for this particular device for the HDMI. But for now, I am not disappointed with this device for what I am using it for

I have a bunch of old family videos we recorded over the years. I have vhs tapes, mini-dvi and 8mm. Trying to get all of these copied and saved to my local storage system was something I wanted to do for awhile and after contacting several different outfits that provide this as a service I decided I would save on the high cost of paying someone else and do it myself. I was a bit concerned about how well this would work because I noticed a few negative reviews that talked about it working for a little while and then no longer working again. Thankfully I did not have any issues at all. Connecting this device up is extremely easy. You connect the USB adapter to your PC (either USB-C or use the included adapter to convert it to USB-B) It has 5 inputs, 1 HDMI in, AV in and S Video in. One of my camera's was just AV in and my other was both s video and avi. In both cases the video and sound transferred with no issues. To handle the conversion you will need to download an awesome piece of software called OBS Studio. This is free/open source software and it works very well. I had to adjust the settings to get the audio correct. You can contact OBS Studio support or ClearClick support in the event you run into questions or an issue. Both are very helpful and respond rather quickly. I was able to convert 8- 8mm tapes and 12- mini dvi tapes over to digital. One thing I wish I had done back in the day was purchase cleaning tapes because after sitting for so long my camera's all needed some good cleaning. My next challenge will be converting all of our VHS tapes to digital. This adapter will handle that as well! Great product for the home user that needs to convert their old home videos!

I initially had 2 issues with audio that were quickly resolved by the incredible response received from Tyler in customer service. He replied at 7:30 pm a couple hours after I sent a request for help on their site. First issue was I wasn’t able to hear any audio when I connected my old Sony HandyCam video recorder to the ClearClick device via S-Video and Red and White audio cables and S-Video using the free OSB software. Solution: MACs security setting was not configured properly on my machine. “ Please quit OBS. Then go to the Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy tab. Look in the list on the left for the microphone and camera settings. Click the microphone option, then click the unlock button at the bottom of the list so you can make changes to those items. Then add the checkmark in the list on the right to OBS so it can have access. Next repeat the steps for the Camera option in the list as well. Then depending on your MacOS version, go to System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Security -> Allow Accessories to connect and change this to “always” Then return to OBS and check the signals again. It is important that OBS is quit/closed before you make these settings.” These instructions solved my first issue. Second issue was I had interference or loud static when recording. Fortunately, Tyler sent me a quick reply which quickly solved this issue as well. “ It is possible that your camcorder only has monaural audio out and you are using a stereo audio cable. If you unplug the Red and White cables one at a time, the buzz should follow one cable if this is the case.” Bingo, it worked. I have finally converted MiniDVs that we have wanted in a digital format for years without spending $$$$$ to have it done for us. Now we can edit and share them more easily. This “To do” is finally crossed off my list. The ClearClick Video2USB device came with incredible service and made the task easy to do on my own. Other reviews referenced excellent support and my experience should give you confidence it wasn’t a fluke.

I had some concerns because i've tried to connect other devices between my Sony Pro 8mm camera to my Mac Studio without success. I sent several questions about the ClearClick hub and received many great answers. I decided to go ahead and purchase it and i'm glad i did. I'm now converting my 8mm tapes to my Mac using OBS. OBS is ok, crashes sometimes but it's getting the job done. Very Satisfied, I would suggest this to anyone needing to convert old tapes to digital format. Works Great

The ClearClick Video2USB down mixes stereo audio to mono on all inputs. ClearClick does not disclose this in any of their documentation. The fact that the device has stereo inputs implies that the output data stream contains stereo, but it does not. This at least misleading, if not deceptive.

Video download quality compared to original was distorted. Also sound echoes. Not sure if it’s to do with settings… though very easy setup

Buen equipo cumple muy bien su función captura muy bien los videos hasta el momento no he tenido ningun problema lo recomiendo.

Solider VHS / Video Konverter. Scheint eine höhere Qualität zu haben als die anderen Konverter die ich getestet habe.

I bought this specifically to digitize a bunch of old VHS tapes. I had also just built a fast Intel Win11 PC and thought I'd try out this device on what was my newest, fastest computer. But no matter what I did, (reinstalls, etc.) the OBS software didn't want to play nice. So I went over to my 2012 Mac running Monterey on Open Core and it worked like a charm. I transferred at least 80 tapes and the quality was quite good given that the original tapes weren't all that great much of the time. Lots of settings to choose from, so it's quite flexible. Mission accomplished. I'm a happy customer. Thanks. :)
