Default Capture device

I bought a device made by SanDisk which can capture video to various types of memory cards.

It is a little larger than one of those multi card readers and has extra ports for video inputs/pass through.

You can set recording times. It can talk to your TV box wirelessly to change channels.

It captures in MP4 format. Not the best video quality (640x480 is the max size) but decent. Files run about 20MB per minute. I havent found a good compressor/converter yet.

I like the portability, size and price of the device. If you need something to convert those old video tapes right to your computer for upload and dont want to move your computer to where your VHS is or create DVDs first this may be for you.
