ClearClick HD Video Capture Box Ultimate 4K - Record & Stream Up To 4K30 (HDMI & AV), No Computer Required, USB, Windows, Black

This item works great and I am able to transfer super 8 videos to my computer.

you can copy hdmi to hdmi - it's well worth it to pay the extra money for this

If you want to use the scheduling feature, think again. You must enter a start time that is beyond the current time or it throws an error. So you can't tell it to stop after so many hours and minutes.Update... make sure you format your memory to NTFS to record movies to keep file to one piece. Also increasing rating to 4 stars.

I've looked at this for a little over six months. I was hesitant about pulling the trigger on buying it due to the description on copyrighted material. Maybe my use is just pedestrian but I have an OTA dvr and I wanted to transfer broadcast programs over to this capture device. It works like a charm.

I’m in the process of digitizing all of my family’s old 8mm, VHS, and HDV tapes accumulated over the years. I’ve used a transfer box to record the 8mm to SD using a DSLR, but I needed a solution for the tapes. Setup is super easy, just be sure to go through the menus and check your preferences for each recording session - my unit occasionally reverts to default settings if I don’t use it for a few days. Results? When recording from my Sony HDV (1080i) camcorder using its HDMI output, it works great. This is not the case for my VHS setup, and I’ve resorted to using a workaround. I’m using a fairly high quality Panasonic ES46v VHS/DVD recorder that can output VHS over HDMI. Plugging the two devices into each other directly results in a black screen, regardless of the setting combinations I’ve tried. I did find a workaround by accident. In trying to hook it up to view on my big projector screen while recording, I found that once it’s plugged into my HDMI auto-switcher, it suddenly works perfectly! Strange, but I’m not complaining since it will end up working out for my main purpose for buying it. As for the recording quality, IMO it does a very nice job converting the analog VHS signal to a progressive digital signal with fewer artifacts and more contrast than recording VHS>DVD-R/RW using my Panasonic combo unit… which does pretty well on its own, it just takes a long time to record and then rip multiple VHS recordings. Having the clearclick eliminates the ripping step and saves a lot of time if you’re doing a lot of tapes like I am. I also think the clearclick does a bit better job with deinterlacing, and as I said before, the colors are a bit more contrasty and punchy, causing the video to look a bit sharper. That’ll save me some time tweaking it in DaVinci Resolve later. Honestly, it’s probably about as good as one can hope for a VHS tape to look on modern displays. When recording from higher res sources, like my Sony 1080i HDV, there seems to be very little (if any) degradation of the source material, which looks pretty nice to begin with. Finally, since I’m recording from SD and HD sources for my project, I’ve chosen to record it all at 1080p and output to BluRay for archival purposes, so I can’t really comment on the device’s 4K recording, but if it looks anywhere as good as it’s 1080p recording then you won’t be disappointed.
