Best Analog to Digital Converter on the Market!!

5 out of 5 stars

Best Analog to Digital Converter on the Market!!
Holy cow!!! I wish I could give this product 100 stars because of what it’s allowed me to do for my friends and family. There is truly not enough wonderful things I can say about this product!! I don’t normally write reviews for Amazon products, but this little device has been such a blessing, I can hardly express it in words. To begin, I have a background in Editing and Information Technology, so I’m fairly capable of working with both products. But I still could not get any of my editing systems to consistently connect to the VCR and MiniDV deck that I recently purchased from eBay to try and save some ancient movies. Adobe Premiere Pro removed their ‘Log and Capture’ feature years ago, when everything moved to Solid State Drives and Memory Cards. I tried Final Cut Pro X, but I wasn’t able to get the MiniDV Deck to connect consistently. It would connect one time, but not the next. So trying to get an Analog signal into a current NLE system was an extremely frustrating experience. So I decided to look around Amazon for some other options – and that’s when I found this ClearClick device. Because it was so inexpensive, I decided to give it a try. At first, I seriously doubted their claims of how easy it would be to capture video. I was almost certain it was going to be more challenging than they suggested — but holy moley!! This device is the REAL DEAL. It’s so dang simple! You connect a camera or deck to the ClearClick using the included RCA cables – and the small onboard screen displays your image. Next, you place the included 32GB Flash Drive (which is pre-formatted) into the USB slot – and all you have to do is play the source material and press the ‘Record’ button on the ClearClick —> and you’re good to go! Then when you finish your recording, all you have to do is pull the Flash Drive out and place into a computer – and voila! All of your movie files are right there as easily playable MP4 files. Unreal!!! Because of this tiny little device, I was able to recover and save PRICELESS home videos that included my father’s childhood from the 1950s, my wife’s father’s home movies from the 1960s, videos from my own youth from the late 1990s, and so much more. And I’ve been able to share these with my friends and family – who were equally as touched as I was at recovering their precious memories!! So wonderful!! I was also able to upload all of these MP4 files to my YouTube page — where they’ll be safe forever!!! (In theory). So seriously, if you’re looking for an easy and cost-effective way to recover analog media from VHS, MiniDV, HIgh8, etc. —>> This little device is the best product on the market (provided that you have a VCR, or camera to play the source material). I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about it. Do yourself a favor – and pick this little guy up! You’ll thank me later!

Thank you for your feedback

    Before buying this ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 I had used an older video capture device (made by Honestech), as well as a "generic" converter I bought on Amazon about a month ago for around $20. Both of the aforementioned items worked "just ok". The Honestech product was just too old and clunky; the newer capture device was OK, but took a lot of work to get it to work in the way of using a third-party capture program. I spent a number of weeks capturing and editing from my mini DV, Hi8, and standard 8 camcorders using a number of very highly rated free programs, including OBS Studio, MiniTool MovieMaker, etc. I was able to get them to work, and they seem to do a good job with the capture card I was using, but there seemed to be something missing in the way of detail in the picture quality. So, I tried one of the video capture services on Amazon that charges you $12 to convert a tape to MP4 format. I paid the $12, paid $8.40 to ship the mini DV via USPS, and included a check for $6 to get the company to ship back my tape to me. So all-in-all, it cost me $26 to "test" the quality of what a professional company can do vs what I could do using the previously mentioned capture programs. The programs allowed you to set FPS, sound quality in bits, bit capture rate of the video, etc., etc., etc. Countless possible combinations to try to find the "best" or even optimal capture quality for my tapes. I literally WASTED countless hours capturing and converting, using various FPS, quality/noise reduction algorithms, etc, etc., hence my desire to "test" a professional capture service to see how they would do. I eventually got a link to download my professionally captured video, and guess what: it was "marginally" better than what I had been doing on my own, testing many trial-and-error capture and conversion possibilities. So I decided to try the ClearClick device since it had a "Free Returns" policy. I figured, what do I have to lose. Well, long-story-short, as the saying goes, the ClearClick video capture did just as good, if not better than the professional service did for the $12 per tape. And, it is SUPER EASY TO USE!!!! It is saving me a lot of time because all I do is put the USB in, press play on the camcorder, and then after a second press Record on the ClearClick, and it captures perfectly in ready-to-go MP4 format. It also captures in 720×480, which is the mini DV standard, whereas the Amazon video capture service captures in 640×480, which is OK for Hi8 or below, but not for mini DV, which is the higher 720×480. But you have to use an S-Video cable (which I also got on Amazon specifically for this purpose; get the $20 Monster cable, not a generic $6 one since you're already spending money to capture and archive valuable memories). So ClearClick is as good as, or better than a professional video capture service. It's cheaper in the long run if you plan on doing at least a dozen or so tapes. And it's super easy to use. The only thing I would like, as others have mentioned, is the ability to set a SPECIFIC automatic record shutoff time for the recording to stop. I have 1 hour tapes that will sometimes run two to three minutes over, and two hour tapes that'll do the same thing. I do not want to set the time for 60 minutes or 120 minutes and have the last few minutes not captured. Nor do I want to use the "schedule recording function", as their technical support suggested to me when I inquired about a possible firmware update they could use to allow setting an exact record Stop function. I'd like to be able to set EXACTLY 64 minutes stop recording time, for instance. If they had this feature, I'd give it 6 stars if AMZN allowed. Nonetheless, the product rates a solid 5 stars and my highest recommendation. As far as the "bundle" software, which is VideoPad Video Editor: it is very good and easy to use, on a par with other products, I suppose. It doesn't capture, just edits and saves to MP4 in the same size or smaller file, whereas for some reason, the free products, like OBS, etc., end up saving an edited file in a larger size, even if all you did was delete/shorten the video…makes no sense whatsoever, since you're shortening a video and saving it in the same MP4 format at the same exact resolution and sampling rate. The 32 GB USB that comes with it is a SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0. Buy the ClearClick; you'll save a lot of time and will easily capture your old tapes.

    I have a large library of VHS tapes of home movies going back all the way to the late 1980s. Last year I decided to start copying them to digital files to preserve them.

    I used a Easy VHS to DVD capture device to connect from my old Sharp model VCR to the USB port in my laptop. Using free software I was able to get the videos in digital form on my laptop, but then I would need to run filters through the videos to de-interlace them (remove those lines you sometimes see on old videos) and use other filters to optimize the videos. This took a long time for each video, but the really big pain was that the audio/video sync would be off for every video despite all the settings I tried in the video capture software. That would mean I would have to manually align the video and audio tracks of each and every video using video editing software.

    With frustration, I gave up on that project last summer and decided to just buy a refurbished VHS to DVD recorder to copy the VHS tapes to DVD and then convert those DVDs to MP4 video files, hoping that the audio/video sync issues would be gone. Well, do you know how much a refurbished VHS to DVD recorder is? Most of the ones I found were around $300.

    I had been debating whether or not to purchase this device. Some of the reviews on Amazon were positive, and some were negative. However, I saw where the issues that people were complaining about had been fixed so I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I got the bundle package that includes the 32 GB USB drive and the video editing software.

    On my first few attempts to copy a VHS recording of a trip my wife and I took to Las Vegas in 1998, the video was mostly fine (and the audio and video synchronized perfectly). However, in some places the video was very jittery, especially when the camera would pan from side to side. This was definitely not good news and I thought I was going to have to purchase a refurbished VCR after all. I emailed ClearClick Support about this and actually got a response from Tyler at 10:13 PM Central Time. He said that the jerky/jittery video is due to bad time coding on the part of the tape through the composite (red, white, and yellow) video connection from the camcorder. S-Video signals do not depend on time coding so that type of connection should fix the issue. I don't have an S-Video out on my old Sharp VCR, but he recommended that I purchase this cable to convert the RCA signal to a viable S-Video: https://www.amazon.com/C2G-27965-Bi-Directional-S-Video-Composite/dp/B0002J28KO. I purchased the cable and hooked it up and my old VHS videos now look fantastic (well, as good as they can be for decades old VHS recordings) and no jittery video.

    I cannot recommend this device highly enough. It is extremely easy to use and does everything I need it to do. I pop in a videotape, double-check the tracking, and hit the Record button. If I need to pause the recording, I hit the OK button. If I need to un-pause, I hit the OK button again. When I'm done recording, I hit the Recording button again. Then I take out the USB drive, stick it in my latop, and move the MP4 files to my external hard drive to be saved for editing at a later date.

    I would also recommend getting the RCA to S-Video cable if you don't have an S-Video out on your VCR, just in case you have jerky/jittery videos like I did. Finally, it's best to use a VCR where you can manually change the tracking of the videotape. My old Sharp VCR has channel up-and-down buttons on the front that I can push to adjust the tracking if there are fuzzy static lines at the top or bottom of the video.

    I also have an old Sony Digital-8 Handycam with many more videotapes that I am looking forward to copying to MP4 files using the ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0.

    I don't write product reviews on Amazon very often but this is one review that I'm very glad to write for such an excellent product! If you are looking to preserve your old recordings, I cannot recommend the ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 highly enough.

    Had about 40 VHS tapes I wanted to convert and store before they deteriorated or no longer had a VCR that worked. Bought this in February 2021 and now have 3 left to go through. This unit clearly does the trick and saved me hundreds of dollars for a service. Nearly all tapes are now either on my PC, an external drive, or in cloud storage. Links can be sent from there to family members to enjoy. Several points to remember: you need a working VCR; this unit does not record to external drives other than specified thumb drives. This package provide a 32MB stick that worked fine but limited space; it will take a 128MB that should be adequate; every time the unit is unplugged, the recording date goes away. It has to be reset each time it is plugged in; the record button is a bit sensitive and may result in only snapshots without recording; if the button is hit correctly, there will be a running clock of recorded material showing; Each recording is initially assigned a random number; If you do not rename the files after recording, you could get lost with what you have; the storage process requires you to remove the thumb drive from the unit, plug it into your PC and copy/move the files from the thumbdrive to files on your PC. From there, copy files to wherever you wish. ( Of course, if the thumbdrive is large enough, that may be all the storage process you need ). I did not use any provided software. Overall, once you are aware of the finepoints, its quite easy and effective to use.

    An outstanding way to convert VHS to digital (MP4) format. It works as promises and is easy to use. The other half of this glowing review is the company's service – best I have ever had. I had an issue with playback that Teri at ClearClick solved quickly and like a bulldog. I highly recommend this product!

    I bought this product to convert a heap of old video 8 tape to digital format. The results were surprisingly good given the tapes and the old Video Cam had started to degrade. Better than the capture cards I used. Really simple to operate. Would be nice to have a choice of output formats, but MP4 was fine for what I required.
