ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2
It’s not a perfect transfer, ‘which for me would be if the video came out somehow sharper than the original’, but the transfers are much clearer than anything else i’ve used. As you can see, the first video snip is of my daughter when she was 13 practicing basketball. The second snip is through clear click. The whole video is very nice. My daughter is 27 now so this is an important piece of past documentation. It’s very easy to use, not much at all to understand. I will say, the darks pickup could be better. In several scenes, i can’t see people through clear click transfer, although i can easily see them on the original video. This is only my 2nd day using it, and several people have said the machine ‘stopped working’. So far, it’s working well for me. I will give an update if it breaks suddenly. I haven’t had to use tech support so i didn’t give a rating.
This product is well worth the money. I purchased this product because i have several mini 8mm tapes i need to convert to digital format. Previously i sent several 8mm videos to an online business because i the 8mm video player was inoperable; they did a good job but it cost a little more then i wanted to pay and they took a while to get everything back. For this project i do have a mini 8mm video tapes and the video camera still works so i opted to purchase the clearclick video to digital converter 2. 0 (second generation) to convert mini 8mm to digital format vs sending the videos tapes in to get them digitized. I’ve already converted several mini 8mm videos and i just received it two days ago this product works as advertised. Didn’t give it 5 starts because the sd card does not have an indent to grab the sd card and it does not eject when press upon, thus it does not come out easily; if it ejected when press on – 5 stars *****on a sunday i sent an email to customer support for the firmware update, they answered within an hour (wow). Provide them the information about the device and they provided a. Zip to me within the next hour. Put the files on the root of the usb i was using, followed the instructions and it self installed without any issues.
I used this product to convert my vhs tapes to digital. I had many problems at the start. I should have read the user’s manual more carefully and it would have saved me hours. If the customer support people had a clue they could also have saved me some time. My files kept coming up as corrupt and unreadable. I got some tapes done and messages still kept coming up sporadically. I asked the support crew for help and they were no help at all. The problem turned out to be that i was using a usb with too much memory which was causing all the problems. With the explanation i gave to the support crew they should have been able to tell me that. I think that this should be put in bold face in your manual to prevent anyone else using too big of drives.
This little device is for sure worth the money. All i had to do was plug in the audio and video cables to the vhs player outputs, plug in a memory stick and go. Easily creates mp4 videos from my old tapes. The display on the unit is a really good feature.
A few days ago i pulled out my old laserdisc player from the garage to see if it still worked. I’ve got lots of obscure cartoon collections and i wanted to show them to my kids. After watching several cartoons i thought, ‘wouldn’t it be cool to be able to digitize these?’. A little searching on amazon led me to this fantastic and easy to use little device. Most of my ld’s are titles i’m not interested in or i’ve bought again on bluray. But a few of them are cartoons they haven’t (or won’t) release on dvd or bluray. So i can now easily make digital copies, and i’m very happythe one minor complaint i have and won’t affect most people interested in this thing: it automatically makes 60 frame per second files. It would be great to be able to set the frame rate for the material being recorded. It would really be cool if you could tell the device to split up files at chapter stops, for sets like this where you would want each cartoon as a separate file.
