Grabber Device Dvd

Any body know anything about Video Grabbers?

I've briefly been looking into something called an Advanced Video Grabber.

It's a USB device that plugs into various analogue devices, such as a VHS player/recorder and transfers the video to your computer hard disk ready for you to burn to a DVD or CD.

It all looks very well and good for £39.95 but are there any pitfalls. Does it do all it claims?

I was specifically looking toward transferring several commercial golf instruction VHS videos and stuff that I've recorded with my old camcorder on various holidays.

I also had it mentioned to me that it might also work for audio. What I mean by that is I could possibly hook it up to my old turntable and transfer a load of my old vinyl albums to CD and ultimately MP3. I stand to be corrected on that one obviously!

So anybody out there tried one of these?

Here's a link to have a look at one:

Let me know - I will be very interested!

As long as your computer is fast enough to record the video coming in, then it should work perfectly. I did this with old VHS a few years ago.

As for recording your old vinyls into mp3 or cd, then you don't need any equipment for that, you can just do it by plugging your decks into the sound card of your computer.

You need to use the headphone socket on your decks/mixer/amp and the line in on the computer.

Use a freeware app like Audacity to record the vinyls and convert them to mp3.
