@@TommyDrone hi, thank you for the video and this answer.. however.. i can not get a Hi 8 videocassette camcorder.. the link you provided did not open.. maybe you can help me find another source? thank you so much!!
For 11 years, I have struggled to capture high school footage from my camcorder to my computer. Now, I am able to capture it without the need of a computer using the converter and it legitimately works!
Hi everyone, just to let you know the distortion you see on this video starting at 8:55 is deliberate. Initially I did a screen shot and so you'll notice the video player stream going accross, so I place the real video over the player. Any distortion except the Green line at 8:55 was done by me. I was trying to add effect. I totally recommend this converter. You'll love it.
Oh wow I need that so bad, but 150 is to much atm. I need to get some film transferred of my kids as babies. So cool though and I may have to go to a photo shop. Thanks for this Tommy and thanks again for saving me money for the GoPro mic adapters. I broke down and had to buy the GoPro adapter, but I almost bought a few of those amazon ones. Man what a difference having a mic now on that hero black, it’s like night and day difference. Cheers brother and God bless you guys.
How do these devices react to macrovision? Some devices distort the video and some don't even record and some simply ignore it and record fine. The reason that you have noise in your audio is because you are using an adapter that uses 1 video and two audio channels and some camcorders have one audio and one video so the extra connection on the adapter is probably not in the right spot and touching the video connection so you may have to use a different cord a standard Y adaptor cord for hooking an audio device to a stereo will work. You'll have to figure out which connection is video.
Philly accent? The RCA cables (composite video) from your video camera may have an in/out switch that you are not aware of. It must be switched to "out" in order to see an image.
Your camera doesn't have any faults, it's the cable your using. That hiss isn't a hiss, it's the video signal. It's most likely your camera does not support stereo, so it's outputting the video signal through the white wire.
So you can use this as a tapeless option straight to SD if you have the ability to rig it to the camera with a rca to 3.5mm AV and a power bank. That’s my plan at least
Try setting it to av but plug the white cable coming from the camcorder into the yellow port on the devices. And the yellow into the white on the device. I bet that will allow you to record using just the composite cables. It has something to do with the adapter/dongle thing connected to the camcorder. I ran into a similar issue doing something similar. That noise you are hearing is the video signal going through the audio port. Let me know if this works. I’m curious.
Excellent Question! So they also have a 1080P HD Converter too (see link in the description area) Because my videos are all under 720 I went with that, But yes they have 1080/60fps too. Note the converter doesn't upconvert to 1080 from a low resolution. I believe the TV or computer Monitor would do that part. Thanks for your question. If you like I can make a follow up video showing how it looks in more detail.
I'm looking for a good way do this, if anyone has found one - but Im not so sure of the quality of this method - for the price of it I wouldn't have expected to see throughout (eg. at 8:55 ) corruption all along the right side - and at 8:49 it doesn't seem to handle flat areas of colour very well - the walls are all showing banding (coloured rainbow blotches) like its a really small low quality jpg file - is there an option to record at a higher bits-per-second (quality)? However - on the good side - I cannot see any video combing effects (weird jagged lines when someone moves fast) - thats probably the 60fps fixing that. Ive been looking for a long time now a way to go Directly from VHS to MP4, that keeps colour accurate and utilizes a good comb (interlaced video) filter? Thanks for the video.
Ambrose. I bought this unit myself and I highly recommend it. Trust me get it. You will be happy. My videos are 25 + years old. The other method is software on your computer and that is why I got this unit. The 150 will quickly pay for itself in value. You will be happy I promise.
I agree with your concerns. Examples I've seen show a typical black band down the left side also. I learned that this unit records 2hrs of footage at a 4.1gb filesize, which is pretty massive for the resolution. Still don't know if it handles macrovision ok.
This will work. However, you may have to purchase a Betamax player Good New I found some on EBAY :) ebay.to/2Z1hJwW If you buy a Beta player it should work with the old connections. Good luck. TD
This is great with all of those formats. But for reel tapes I've found wolverine makes a great product. Now with sound reel, that's a whole different ballgame. I'm still researching it myself.
From what I've seen they're all good. Good luck. I like your channel. Nice videos you have. YOu should make a video of the Reel to Reel digitizer when you get it. Best, TD
Hi what hi8 camcorder do you recommend for this to make it easy as transition as possible and where can you buy the tapes ? I’m just getting into photography I run my own fashion brand and I’ve just started using digi cam and I love it
I spent four hours last night trying to use a VCR to USB convertor with software on my computer. Couldn't get the audio to sync..it was delayed. Tried so many ways. I was able to get it to work properly but only in a MPEG-2 format, but I wanted MPEG-4 format. My question is, with your device does it sync the audio nicely? Nothing worse that audio that doesn't match! Not sure I want to spend the bucks on this device. I found that ClearClick also sells a VHS to USB/software product (similar to mine) but maybe it would work better than mine? Have you seen it? One review mentioned the same audio lag as mine had. Love to hear your thoughts and workarounds.
What u shared is why I bought this. Yes it syncs perfect. I am glad I got it. Trust me it is worth it. Plus it is on sale now. Yes get it. You will be glad.
I bought this digital converter and it arrived today. I plugged it in to my old Sony video 8 XR SteadyShot Handycam vision CCD-TRV25 NTSC. I was able to record videos from my old Sony 8mm camcorder to the SD card inserted in this ClearClick converter. As I was recording, I was watching the video running on my old Sony camcorder and at the same time I was watching the same video running on this ClearClick converter. The video on the Sony camcorder was smooth, while on the ClearClick converter was very flickering. After finishing recording, I took out the SD card from the ClearClick converter and inserted it in my computer. The video was just a constant flickering, absolutely unbearable to watch. Seemed like it was constantly skipping frames. The SD card used is Sandisk Extreme 32 V30 U3 A1. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Is my Sony 8mm camcorder too old for this ClearClick?
Check the wires. Also could be the output signal from the Camcorder. To confirm, record from your VCR or friends VCR and see how the quality is from that.
There is no need to use this if your video is already DV. This does not convert DV to HD video, it is used to convert analog video to digital video in MP4 format.
Hi, thinking of buying one but want to be absolutely sure of the quality. On your video files there's a repeat on the very right hand side - is the converter doing this, or was it present in your original tapes?
Can the converter be used without an SD card and be plugged in directly to the back of a desktop? In my case, an iMac 27" - I'm knew to this and with 28 HI8s of family gatherings and long gone relatives. Absolute gold to me and so important to preserve. Any tips would be appreciated Tommy
@@TommyDrone excellent. Thanks for tip mate. I’m in the process of doing this. I found software to then enhance the quality of the video. It’s called Topaz. I’ll give it a go. Thanks for your video Tommy
Don't know. I would think yes. But I don't know. It records the signal that comes into the unit. So what ever your source is and how that source sends out the audio and video relative to the cable inputs you choose.
HI Alberto. Yes it records from 8 mm too. The reason this unit is all you need for old VHS and 8mm video is because vhs and video8 can store up to 240 vertical lines at full vertical resolution of 480 (NTSC) or 576 (PAL) pixels. so those old tapes would capture the video at 480x480 / 480x576 pixels. This unit records at 720 pixels which captures all lines and resolution pixels and every frame is captured at 60 fps which is what you need to best copy a video to digital.
Depends on the quality of your video. I have old High8 Video cassetts and they were at best 480p and my VCR was only 360 so a 720 converter is plenty. However, if you're converting DVD's or from other High pixel devices or from super8 or 16mm film, then the upgraded converter may be better. I have the links for both in the description area for you. Good luck. TD
if i want to record using my old hi-8 camera could i use this instead of hi-8 tapes like you did at 3:50 you just need to get rid of that information on screen?
I am trying to convert tapes from a Sony video 8 recorder model CCD V110. I can’t figure out where to hook up the white red and yellow cables. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
No difference. It depends on the quality of the 8mm tape. If you send it to a lab they will be probably be using this device. In fact I plan on starting a video converting business with this unit.
Sorry in advance for the "Bone-Head" question and apologies if I can't find it in all the links you provided. BUT, what is the cable that you have connected to your camera enabling you to connect the 3-AV Cables called? I have a JVC camcorder that does not have connectivity for the 3-cables and I believe this is the cable I need to connect this JVC to the ClearClick. Help?
It's ok, sorry for not responding sooner. You need RCA plugs. If you have a RCA to TRRS then get that. Watch this vid for that explanation. czcams.com/video/O3HZ8BS1Rrg/video.html You want yellow red and white.

I have several music performance videos on Hi8 that I want to convert to digital. It sounds like you're saying that the pre-recorded, copyrighted music showing up on your samples can't be turned off but can only be muted by turning the volume all the way down. If I do that, I'm guessing that also mutes the music from my video, which defeats the purpose of using this device for Hi8 transfers. Is that right, or is there some way to kill the pre-recorded stuff while still allowing for the original music on the Hi8 to be transferred?
In addition to 8 mm camera you could also use a 8mm video player to send the signal to the recorder. It sounds like to me you are saying your H8mm cam doesn't work, if so you could also get an 8mm player at rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp2380057.m570.l1311%26_nkw%3D8mm%2Bvideo%2Bplayer%26_sacat%3D0&campid=5338050428&toolid=10001&customid=mm player
I recently got a new 1080P recorder from a different company and it's good. However, I think this 720 P recorder is better. This records the quality as it comes from its source. Any upscale is via your computer, or TV player etc. I will say I think this is a great product. I use it still and it works great. Be sure to get an Extreme disc card I suggest 64 gigs. I have the links in the description area for you. Good luck TD
I just bought the converter you have in his video, just curious how many hours of VHS conversion can go on the 64 gig pro SD card that you recommend? Trying to figure out how many SD cards I need to buy I have a ton of VHS to convert.
I am wondering if it creates a separate file on the SD card everytime you push record, then stop? I have some exercise clips on old 8mm tapes that I want to recapture, but dont want to capture the whole 60 minute tape, just selected segments that I am going to use...
My Gopro sections off the videos as I shoot so a 30 minute video with my GoPro has 3 sections. However, this unit doesn't do that. It records the whole file as you record it. You can pause and that keeps the file together; however, if you want to section you would either stop recording and then restart recording for a new file or split it in post. Good luck TD.
Here's what I can say and what I know. Deinterlacing is the process of converting interlaced video into a non-interlaced or progressive form. Interlaced video signals are commonly found in analog television, digital television (HDTV) when in the 1080i format, some DVD titles, and a smaller number of Blu-ray discs. Deinterlacing with Yadif reduces quality when anything moves at all. It also reduces temporal resolution if you deinterlace to 25p / 30p. You can use doing double-rate deinterlacing to get 50p / 60p to solve this problem, if your playback hardware supports it. There are lots of deinterlacers available. For instance, if you have several cameras, and some record interlaced and some record progressive and you want the "look" to be consistent and you can't afford to rent or buy cameras which match, you would have to deinterlace (and probably change frame rates) Final answer: I don't know for sure if this product does. That would be a great question to ask on the Amazon Questions portion of the site for this unit. Click the link above and ask that question to them on the Amazon page for this product, be interesting to see what they say. For me I liked that it copies at 60FPS, which is what I wanted and the 720P is plenty for old videos that recorded at 240.
It records the signal only. There is no option for aspect ratio. You may want instead to consider their 1080p recorder. I have that link in the description area for you.
Hi Sir Very nice Video...Thank you Do you know how many GByte sd Card i need for 3 hours VHS? And what sd Card Extreme do you think works better 64 or 32 GByte ... Thank you
I have a 64 G Extreme Card. I also have the Extreme Plus. I found they both work fine. For the price I suggest getting the 64 gig extreme. That will be the best value. I have the link for you above in the description area.
I just used mine and on the screen on the dvr the video format was different I film on 3:4 and it looked like it stretched it to 16:9 anyone know why and if it’s gonna change the video format when I download the clip to a usb
I just got the ClearClick 2.0 recorder. I’m using it to record old VHS tapes to digital. I’m having an issue though. When I try to record a tape that’s more than 2 hours in length it creates a second file and continues recording. How do I get it to record just 1 file?? Or will I just have to edit the 2 files so they are 1 in a vídeo editor program??
It makes two files. I personally prefer all my files to be 30 minute chunks so I stop and start every 30 minutes. However for movies I just let it records and what ever files it does. It works fine for me.
@@TommyDrone Is there anything I can do to enhance the output volume from the device? Very bad quality! Sounds OK on a computer but just wondering if I can do anything with the device itself.
So I have not taken it to that point. I recommend a 64 K extreme to be safe. I myself have not had the disk get to that point. That is a lot of video to review.
I am trying to convert tapes from a Sony video 8 recorder model CCD V110. I can’t figure out where to hook up the white red and yellow cables. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Would this work on PAL vhs tapes?
Don't know. I would think yes. But I don't know. It records the signal that comes into the unit. So what ever your source is and how that source sends out the audio and video relative to the cable inputs you choose.
Great information here. I just have two questions:
1) does it convert 8MM as well?
2) are 8MM videos 720 and under?
Thanks
HI Alberto. Yes it records from 8 mm too. The reason this unit is all you need for old VHS and 8mm video is because vhs and video8 can store up to 240 vertical lines at full vertical resolution of 480 (NTSC) or 576 (PAL) pixels. so those old tapes would capture the video at 480x480 / 480x576 pixels. This unit records at 720 pixels which captures all lines and resolution pixels and every frame is captured at 60 fps which is what you need to best copy a video to digital.
Which one is better to convert camcorder minidv videos? This one or the HD video capture box ultimate clear click?
Depends on the quality of your video. I have old High8 Video cassetts and they were at best 480p and my VCR was only 360 so a 720 converter is plenty. However, if you're converting DVD's or from other High pixel devices or from super8 or 16mm film, then the upgraded converter may be better. I have the links for both in the description area for you.

The audio work fine. I dubed music over keep from getting flagged.
Can also convert DVDs to digital too? I was trying to connect it to the PS3 with RCA to HDMI adapter, but it’s doesn’t show the picture.
I have mac with no spot for an SD card, Can I convert the video to mp4 onto my computer MaC
How can you convert it if your HI 8 camera is not working?
In addition to 8 mm camera you could also use a 8mm video player to send the signal to the recorder. It sounds like to me you are saying your H8mm cam doesn't work, if so you could also get an 8mm player at rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp2380057.m570.l1311%26_nkw%3D8mm%2Bvideo%2Bplayer%26_sacat%3D0&campid=5338050428&toolid=10001&customid=mm player
My sd card can't be detected. how can I fix this?
Is it Sandisc and is it Exteme?
So if I use VCR /VHS, will it record on the full size SD card? Does it increase the resolution, from the poorer quality VHS?
I recently got a new 1080P recorder from a different company and it's good. However, I think this 720 P recorder is better. This records the quality as it comes from its source. Any upscale is via your computer, or TV player etc. I will say I think this is a great product. I use it still and it works great. Be sure to get an Extreme disc card I suggest 64 gigs. I have the links in the description area for you. Good luck TD
@@TommyDrone Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply!
I just bought the converter you have in his video, just curious how many hours of VHS conversion can go on the 64 gig pro SD card that you recommend? Trying to figure out how many SD cards I need to buy I have a ton of VHS to convert.
I would buy Two or three cards. 10 minutes will take up over 300mb.
Does the newer HD version of this make hi8 transfers better than the quality of this one?
Quality stays the same.
I am wondering if it creates a separate file on the SD card everytime you push record, then stop? I have some exercise clips on old 8mm tapes that I want to recapture, but dont want to capture the whole 60 minute tape, just selected segments that I am going to use...
My Gopro sections off the videos as I shoot so a 30 minute video with my GoPro has 3 sections. However, this unit doesn't do that. It records the whole file as you record it. You can pause and that keeps the file together; however, if you want to section you would either stop recording and then restart recording for a new file or split it in post. Good luck TD.
Anybody Know how to prevent and/or remove all the aliasing lines from the interlaced footage? My videos look horrible :S
Video lines from thw VHS are causes by dirty heads on the reader and by the tape itself. Try cleaning the tape heads.
@@TommyDrone I think he means deinterlacing footage. Use virtual dub
does it deinterlace?
Here's what I can say and what I know. Deinterlacing is the process of converting interlaced video into a non-interlaced or progressive form. Interlaced video signals are commonly found in analog television, digital television (HDTV) when in the 1080i format, some DVD titles, and a smaller number of Blu-ray discs.
Deinterlacing with Yadif reduces quality when anything moves at all. It also reduces temporal resolution if you deinterlace to 25p / 30p. You can use doing double-rate deinterlacing to get 50p / 60p to solve this problem, if your playback hardware supports it. There are lots of deinterlacers available.
For instance, if you have several cameras, and some record interlaced and some record progressive and you want the "look" to be consistent and you can't afford to rent or buy cameras which match, you would have to deinterlace (and probably change frame rates)
Final answer: I don't know for sure if this product does. That would be a great question to ask on the Amazon Questions portion of the site for this unit. Click the link above and ask that question to them on the Amazon page for this product, be interesting to see what they say. For me I liked that it copies at 60FPS, which is what I wanted and the 720P is plenty for old videos that recorded at 240.
How to connect without rca output
you need an adaper
If I buy the clear click do I still need vhs tapes or can I just record videos on my clear click
Yes it can record directly from the source.
@@TommyDrone without any tape you can record for sure?
Yup, however for current source technologies, I suggest you get the HD converter. Check out my new HD recorder video to see how it compares.
Can you convert mini dv smaller than the 8
As long as your player has an AV or HDMI or S-Video out or if you have video signal that goes into this unit, it should work.
SUPER
Does this record in also 4:3 ratio format as well?
It records the signal only. There is no option for aspect ratio. You may want instead to consider their 1080p recorder. I have that link in the description area for you.
Hi Sir
Very nice Video...Thank you
Do you know how many GByte sd Card i need for 3 hours VHS?
And what sd Card Extreme do you think works better 64 or 32 GByte ...
Thank you
I have a 64 G Extreme Card. I also have the Extreme Plus. I found they both work fine. For the price I suggest getting the 64 gig extreme. That will be the best value. I have the link for you above in the description area.
does this concert Mini DV to mP4 in addition to HI8 to MP4?
But what hapen when i dont have de camera any more? What can i do in that case?
I have links to Ebay in the description area for you
I just used mine and on the screen on the dvr the video format was different I film on 3:4 and it looked like it stretched it to 16:9 anyone know why and if it’s gonna change the video format when I download the clip to a usb
Change your tv image setting to 3:4. Or edit video in post to 3:4 output.
wtf with the loud music randomly....
I agree, at the time I was trying to hide the copywrite music. What I should have done was lower the volume. Sorry about that.
I just got the ClearClick 2.0 recorder. I’m using it to record old VHS tapes to digital. I’m having an issue though. When I try to record a tape that’s more than 2 hours in length it creates a second file and continues recording. How do I get it to record just 1 file?? Or will I just have to edit the 2 files so they are 1 in a vídeo editor program??
It makes two files. I personally prefer all my files to be 30 minute chunks so I stop and start every 30 minutes. However for movies I just let it records and what ever files it does. It works fine for me.
@@TommyDrone Is there anything I can do to enhance the output volume from the device? Very bad quality! Sounds OK on a computer but just wondering if I can do anything with the device itself.
I believe the maximum file size for a single recording is 4GB.
What size SD card do you recommend? 32, 64 or more?
32 is fine.
You need vhs player ir videocámara. But without this ...
YES!
Hi. Did video quality is good when you watch it on tv screen?
Great. Watch it again from 8:40 .
So can I just use the s-video outlet?? (Please help)
That's what I use.
@@TommyDrone THANK YOU & that’s perfect!
Thank uuuu!
I use it all the time too. I may even make a local business with it and charge people.
Will it notify you when your SD card is full?
So I have not taken it to that point. I recommend a 64 K extreme to be safe. I myself have not had the disk get to that point. That is a lot of video to review.
Does this unit record continuously?
Yes
That's awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
Hi sir, is this working in android?
It converts t Mp4. Some smartphones can play mp4 and others need VLC player or MP4 app. Im sure it is possible with the right app and codec.
What is the file size for 5-10 minutes?
720P @ 60fps mp4 file is just over 150 mb for five minutes. Over 300 mb for 10 minutes, aproximately.
@@TommyDrone , Thanks!
what is the resolution of the video
720

I am trying to convert tapes from a Sony video 8 recorder model CCD V110. I can’t figure out where to hook up the white red and yellow cables. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
