Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you are like us you probably have hours and hours of home movies that are slowly decaying on VHS tape. In the ideal world I would have all of our home movies on my computer where they can be made into DVDs or sent to a media player (I am using Apple TV with 160GB Hard Drive - MB189LL/A since it works seamlessly with my Mac). I happy to report that the Elgato helps to solve the problem of how I am going to get this media into my computer. I will say that there are other options such as buying a VHS/DVD recorder and then using software such as Handbrake to rip the content off of the DVD. I am sure there are others ways too... but using the Elgato Video Capture was the choice I used. Pros- - Easy set-up (less than 5 minutes) - Cost effective - Works for all media types - if it has a RCA or S-Video output you are in business - This includes a my mini-DVD video camera, Slngbox, DVR, or your TV - Will record directly from your Tivo (see above) - I didn't have any of the problems with the video/audio syncing - Works perfectly with a Mac (PC users have other choices) - Will publish directly to YouTube and ITunes Final Verdict - Works perfectly for me and I couldn't be happier!
