Capture device

[Lotfw]

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.

Thanks for the heads up Lotfw. Is it the SDMV1-R V-Mate?
The prices on line swing over a 40% range from low to high,
but the printed specs are not real informative. I just want to
be sure I'm looking at the right product.

What's the name of the device?

I was too lazy to look it up and it wasnt in front of me

Yes the SanDisk SDMV1-R V-Mate Video Memory Card Recorder

Amazon seems to be the cheapest by far....not sure why

Of course you need a decent size memory card and a card reader on whatever computer you want to load it to...

Thanks for the update, Lotfw You are right about Amazon, but Buy.com is close.
