Pinnacle Video Transfer USB 2.0 Capture Device
The Pinnacle Video Transfer is the easiest way to transfer your videos, TV shows,
gaming sessions and more to your mobile device or hard drive. You just press
and go. There’s no need for a PC. You can go directly to a mobile device
like an iPod or a PSP, or a mass storage device like a hard drive, or a flash
stick. You can bring in any analog source into our video transfer. For example,
a camcorder, VCR, DVD player, DVR – even a TIVO. When the Pinnacle Video
Transfer captures, it converts that video into an H.264 MPEG-4 file. This is
a very efficient compression which makes small files with great quality.
Perfect for Anyone Who Travels Frequently
Think of the possibilities of having a Pinnacle video transfer. If you’re
on the go a lot, you can take your favorite TV shows and movies with you. What
if you want to have bragging rights on your last gaming session. You can transfer
your best session and share it with your buddies. The Pinnacle Video Transfer
is great for archiving. You can finally start preserving some of the analog
tapes into a digital format. What about traveling? Imagine being able to transfer
all of your video to a hard drive while you’re on vacation. The possibilities
are endless. And remember, that once you’ve transferred your analog content
into a digital format, you can now plug your memory stick or HDD into a MAC
or PC and watch it via with QuickTime . You can even edit with applications
like Video Spin or Pinnacle Studio. Pinnacle Video Transfer is one of the easiest
products to use to transfer your analog content to a digital device. Just press
it and go. No need for a PC!

This is one of the easiest digital devices I have ever used. Its so simple to set up and just start using. I've only used it with my Canon mini DV cam recording realtime video so there might be different results for you. The video quality is just OK, but for my purposes this device fits perfectly. I'm going to buy another on.

Its easy to set up and use. However this unit seemed to work better before I updated the firmware. With the update the transfers now seem hit and miss with the video signal.The unit shuts down and I have to restart everything. I also noticed the video quality is not as sharp as I thought it could be even at the best setting. I might be me doing something wrong.
The jury is still out for now.

Although, I found this unit cheaper at a different site, the replacement policies of TigerDirect was a good selling point. I was very satissfied with all three qualities this unit produces, but have not tried it with a PSP or any other devices. My original plan was to connect this device to 1 TB hard-drive, but since this unit only support FAT and FAT32 format drives, I had to use a smaller capacity drive.

Take

Now we have DVD players, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), camera cellular
phones that record still and video images, home and office survelience cameras
and the list continues to grow. But with so many types of video recording
devices, how can we save it so that it isn't damaged, lost or simply fades
away?
