Yes, even though the TRV-228e is a PAL unit it uses the same Sony AC-L100 adapter, which can handle 100-240 Volts.

64 GB or about 250 times smaller than advertised.

You need to find the exact same model as the one you have and then carefully disassemble it and swap the screens. It's very tedious and likely to fail, so I really don't recommend it. I did it just to see if I could, and it kind of works but not 100%. Thanks for watching.

Lol, nice. The audio settings on the WXF1 are tricky. I should have re-recorded it, but I did not. Oh well, this is my third most popular video. Image how much better they are now? 😁 Thanks for watching.

Great idea. It would look much better on a CRT.

@@WaybackRewind Correct

I've had a lot of success with older Sonys. The Canons not so much.

I have noticed as well that shining a bright light into the sensor brings it back to life at least temporarily.

Oops on the title. Rushing to get this one uploaded before catching a plane. Thanks. I was just very relieved that it actually worked as promised. Thanks for watching.

I haven't figured out exactly how they are able to trick the computer into thinking it's 16 TB without generating errors, but I can 100% guarantee it's fake. Some day 16TB drives will exist and by then the scammers will be selling them as 500TB drives. Thanks for watching.

@@WaybackRewind I don't know how it was possible that it did seem to work on my friend's PC but it certainly DIDN'T work on my Mac. What I don't understand is the reason why of the scam. I returned it via Aliexpress without much of a fuss and the money (being a good customer) was credited to me immediately as I shipped the item. There will be some customers who don't complain and just take the loss but the vaste majority will complain and get a refund which must cost them money ( the shipping back at least) so I cannot understand the scheme .

@andreiko1959 it must be profitable, or they wouldn't continue to do it. The majority of people probably don't return such a low-cost item and accept the loss.

it is really easy to return...

Yes, my friend returned his and was refunded. But the scam must work so I assume the majority are not returned.

Very good comments, and thanks for sharing. I appreciate you watching my channel. Thanks.

Yes. All 8 mm tapes are interchangeable. Sometimes, you have to pop out a tab in a hole of the corner of the tape to get the camera to recognize it, but it works. Thanks for watching

Nice! Mine works most of the time. Every once in a while, I get a 33:xx error. But those can usually be cleared. I am still amazed at how small this camera was for 2000. Check out the video where I made it into a smart TV. czcams.com/video/Ytcivsrf-4s/video.htmlsi=4KLzpH30G8BqC4-v

And thank you for watching.

Sorry, this video is a year old. My newer videos have significantly less background music. Thanks for watching.

It is true that a touch screen can go bad, but in general, I prefer a touch screen. I find it more intuitive. Thanks for watching.

@@brentswanson8077 you should have access to 47 channels www.channelmaster.com/pages/free-tv-channels-topeka-ks-66609

I mastered and uploaded this video in 4k so youtube compression is minimized. The answer is that HDV compression is very good. The real advantage is in the simplified workflow copying from a harddrive versus tape. Thanks for watching

@@WaybackRewind Thanks for making it!

You are so very welcome. And thanks for watching.

PS - I want to visit Brazil someday it looks lovely.

@@WaybackRewind We are waiting for U! My favorite place here to visit is Gramado, in Rio Grande Do Sul. Is my recomendation!

@ursogames my coworker told me all about Brasilia, and I was fascinated by how it was created in the pattern of an airplane or perhaps a bird. I go on Google Street view and drive around as if I am there.😆

@@WaybackRewind I live here! Its a Airplane and the 2 most famous neighborhood are "Asa Sul" and "Asa norte" (that translate to north wing and south wing) in the middle we have the artifical lake and the best spot in my opinion the JK Bridge (JK is Juscelino Kubitschek. One of most famous and beloved presidents here)

Agreed. Every year, I look to see if there is a newer and better camera in this class, and there isn't one. And probably cost more as you said. Thanks for watching.

USB had nothing to do with the internal operation of the device. It is flawed internally, and glitching appears on the built-in screen. Thanks for watching.

The TRV-480 doesn't have the S-Cable either. The TRV-460 does. For some reason, Sony eliminated it on the newer camera. No, you do not need to use the s cable. The AV out cable that came with the camera will work just fine.

@@WaybackRewind woord

eBay. Thanks

@robertshade8631 The adapter that you use to connect to an analog TV only knows one resolution, and that is standard definition or 720 x 480. Are you having a resolution problem with the Chromecast?

@@WaybackRewind yes only the Chromecast screen shows and display.Plus I’m unable to navigate since no remote.

Since you have no remote it's hopeless. I would suggest getting a new one. They are not that expensive. I have a Firestick, Roku and Chromecast. There is no monthly fee for the basic function and tons of free channels if you have internet. Check out my Video Rocu versus Firestick for a comparison. Thanks.

If I had VHS tapes to convert my preferred method is in Part1, a VHS to DVD recorder. I wasn't a big fan of the Clear Click. Thanks for watching.

I really am not a Mac guy, but I would imagine that whatever software you have should recognize a capture device and register it. I am able to capture through my Power Director software in addition to the included software so it should work. Let me know if you try it. Thanks for watching.

thank you so much.🤣

Thank so much. I am happy that you appreciate the effort. And thanks for watching.

Glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching.

I added a link in the description. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I wish portable handheld TVs were still a thing but they disappeared overnight. June 12th, 2009 to be exact. Thanks for watching.

I love this camera, I have 4 of them. It is useful for so many things, I turned it into a smart TV in my last video. :-) It uses the old school memory stick, (the long one). Or the newer Memory Stick Duo (short one) with an adapter. I put a link for both options in the description. Thanks for watching.

@@WaybackRewindOMG! Thank you so much. My camera was passed down to me by my late uncle, and I can't wait to purchase a memory stick for it so I can use it to capture great memories in the future. I'll definitely watch your new upload!

@editsuuu4274 I You're welcome and thank you so much for watching.

@@editsuuu4274 Let me know after you get the memory stick if it works.

I replied to your other question, but I live right outside Houston, Texas. The broadcast antennas are visible from my house. I can pick up 130 channels effortlessly. If you are farther away, you might need a stronger antenna, but it's worth it to shop for a stronger antenna and have a hundred free high definition channels.

The CR2025 battery only maintains the clock settings for the camera, so that is not your issue. If the camera powers on but the viewfinder is just black, that is not a good sign. Do you have it plugged in with the ac adapter? This one had all the batteries dead and I could only operate it plugged in. If it remains unresponsive while plugged in, then sorry to say the camera will need to be repaired. Let me know, and thanks for watching.

@@WaybackRewind you're right, it turns out the batteries just won't hold a charge. It works fine when I plug it in! I wonder why all of the batteries are failing 🤔 I have three different types of batteries too and they all die within seconds. I wonder if it's even worth trying to order a working one

Awesome! So happy to hear the camera is working. Batteries only last a couple of years, that is just the nature of batteries. But the good news is that brand new batteries are available for this camera. I have added a link in the description. Thanks.

@electricpants9474 When I did this video I used a converter that I had from 2009 when the US government was giving them away. I am going to redo this with a more modern and compact ATSC converter. I suspect you are not searching on the correct type of converter. If you look at my "camcorder to TV" video I use a more modern one. Thanks for watching.

And there is a link in the description.

Houston TX. I get 130 channels. Now granted half are in Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese. But that leaves 50+ in English. I generally only watch 2 or 3 independents but the network affiliates. All of the channels here have multiple side channels. www.channelmaster.com/pages/free-tv-channels-houston-tx-77077

This list is showing 176 channels so maybe I could do better with a better antenna.

Thr VX981 is nice. I keep waiting for the price to drop or pick one up second hand. I never use the subcamera, but I guess they were imagining people taking selfi while shooting whatever. I will never do that.

@@WaybackRewind That's exactly why I didn't need it neither. I looked at the extra camera as more of a gimmick than anything.

They are portable in the sense that there are no connections to anything else. What part is not portable? Have you ever seen the televisions from the 60s and 70s? They were the size of a suitcase, and with a handle, they were considered portable. Thanks for watching.

@@WaybackRewind I have a small collection about the same size,and not parting with them.They all still work.One is a boom box B/W.Hopefully I can get them receiving somehow without all the extra connections,so they are fully portable.Here in Nerw Zealand where I live I cant buy a DTV convertor.

Are there no DTV converters compatible with your TV system? It is so disappointing to me that the world couldn't agree on a single digital TV standard. Several people complained of the bulkiness, so I am thinking of repeating the example with a more optimized setup. Thanks for watching.

@@jungleman4921 You should bring them back to life. The TV converters are getting smaller and more convenient. I am going to do a followup to demonstrate that. Thanks for watching.

It uses the standard Sony AC-l200 charger. I added a link to the video. Thanks for watching.

It really depends on what kind d of connections your GPX TV has. The order I did it is the preferred order. 1) If you have HDMI use that. 2) if you have audio video use that. 3) if all you have is antenna then use that. But no matter what you have, you should be able to convert it. Thanks for watching

When it comes to firewire macs have an advantage. Even today the thunderbolt is backward compatible, but few PCs have a thunderbolt. If I ever get a thunderbolt port I will demonstrate how it's possible. But for now I use the Pinnacle and it works beautifully on my PC. Thanks for watching.
