After finally being given the “keys to the kingdom” of my childhood, consisting of a board of Hi8 tapes, DV tapes and VHS tapes, I had my work cut out for me when it came to digitizing everything. After being quoted over $2000 for them to be converted by a local shop (please for the love of god, do your research as some of these places suck. Check YouTube for proof if you need it), I decided to purchase a Hi8 tape player, a DV one, and VCR from eBay and Facebook marketplace. This little gadget was the only missing piece of the puzzle. The picture quality, connectivity and quality of the cable itself seemed outstanding given its small and convenient size. In terms of “ease of setup”, I would say that it really depends on your operating system, tech skills, common sense, and willingness to possibly run to the store for an additional cable when needed. I was able to watch a helpful YouTube video that outlined exactly what cables I SHOULD have needed. But, this little guy eliminated the need for 2-3 of them. If you are planning to digitize your repertoire of old tapes and go the route I did of buying your own cameras, I CANNOT stress enough the importance of not only purchasing a working camera, but one with a clean “Head” to it. A tape used to clean the head of a Hi8 camera can run up to $100. Look it up if you’re unfamiliar and do your research. These are your memories and likely most treasured possessions and I was very pleased with this cable and its ease of use. In total I spent MAYBE $250, a far cry from the couple grand a local shop wanted to charge (with no guarantees they’d actually be able to successfully get everything from each tape.)

I was a little skeptical on how good this would be being its USB2 and it was cheap but so far have been greatly impressed. Used the free OBS software and its worked amazingly well for digitizing my old homemade video VHS tapes which I have a crazy amount of. Would have given it 5 stars, but for some reason it drops the connection if its idle for long periods and I have to go in and basically restart the capture device.

Okay, now I had my doubts about this do-hicky, but it worked! I had many VHS " posterity" videos transferred to DVD; there was one I missed. I didn't want pay the high cost of shipping for just one. Thought I'd give this a go. These are the cons, but it was due to my inexperience with this product and probably some user error: The software takes a bit of time to download. Be certain that you have recording volume all the way up ( I had it set a 50%) Adjust the size of the picture. These may seem like stupid things to mention, but just in case... Pros This product was way inexpensive. Super easy to use. I am going to make another copy. This was well worth the time and you can't miss with the cost.
