Digital MP4 Video Recorder with HDMI Output + Micro SD Card Input + USB 2.0 Input

Mine is an EZ Cap 272, don't know if the listing says that. I chose this because nobody writes software for Linux systems, so I needed a device which worked without any software. This is such a device.So far, I've transferred a few VHS tapes to MicroSD for testing the effort needed to convert my family movies to digital format (720x480 NTSC, 480P, 30fps).Operation is very easy. Once everything is connected, press play on VCR, quickly press record on this box.How do you know you need to stop recording on this box? When the VCR is finished, they always stop and maybe yours will also rewind. As most home movies will use the whole VHS tape, the VCR stopping means there is no more video to transfer, so I press to stop recording on this box.Pop out the MicroSD card, put the card into the appropriate media reader slot in my computer, there it is. AVI format, rather universal. I can edit the output file if I wish, using Linux video editing software.Cons: I cannot seem to get this device to go into media server mode. Pressing and holding the only button on this box for 3 seconds (per the manual it came with) does nothing that I can see on my Ubuntu 18.04 system (nothing added in lsblk, nothing seen in lsusb). I see I'll need to always eject the card, which may wear out the card mechanism. FWIW, I've pressed that one button for 2 through 30 seconds, this box just doesn't go into media server mode. The same button works fine for recording, so I have no idea what else I'd need to do to get the box to serve data via USB. Yes, I'm using the USB port on my computer as power, which is allowed, as the manual says I can do.

I'd give it 0 stars if Amazon would let me. This thing powered up, showed me my video from my VCR but when I hit record, it just sat there, no red light, no error, nothing. Doesn't appear to record. I've tried 3 different micro sd card sizes with both fat32 and exFat formatting (manual says both are supported). If anyone can give me the secret handshake not mentioned in the Engrish manual, I will update my review.

...just sit back while it records to the sd card...for me personally, this was what i was looking for...it puts the standard AVI file on the micro sd card, and when you transfer it to the computer you can convert to any type of file you want...i play around with graphics and already had the software i needed to convert...while it may not be for everybody, it does the basic job

Outputs distorted picture. Have sent pictures of screen and and explained to seller that I have tried different cables, used both HDMI and composite outputs to different televisions. I requested a replacement but seller has to date not responded to that request. Now requested refund as I am close to 30 days and I do not want to get stuck with a useless piece of equipment.

I have mine hooked to a surveillance camera monitor, records events occurring outside ,can view while recording, great setup to battle crime, picture and recording are picture perfect, unit works way better than I expected, well satisfied

I brought this to capture gaming footage for my xbox 360. When I hook up the capture to my tv the screen quantity is poor at best. I can not see what I am recording and no matter what I do it will not clear up. The fact that the files saves as a AVI is a pain because you have to convert the files to Mp4 in order to work with it. But still after I edit the footage and it choppy and you see screen tears all over the video. I going to return this tomorrow waste of my money

This thing is terrible. It brightens the image too much. Watching a vhs on the TV looks good. This blows out the image severely impacting the quality. Do yourself a favor and choose a different product.

We have been trying to put all our VHS memories into digital and have tried all different kinds of translating things for that matter and needed to return each and everyone of them, but this time we keep it!

Works as described
