My Sony TRV108 camcorder only has the AV/out and no RCA port as well. But I don’t have a cord to connect it to the converter. So will I have to get a 3.5mm AV to 3 RCA cable to connect it to the converter in order for it to work?
Yes, the only options for connecting a video signal to this device are RCA and/or S-Video. If I didn't have that A/V to RCA cable, I would have been out of luck.
@crxssthe5un that should work, and it looks like one of the A/V to RCA cables like I used in the video should work. Something like this: a.co/d/0iSIqEKg
@jespererrboe4093 that's a great question. I found a listing for this device online that said it supports PAL and NTSC, but I don't have any PAL tapes to test and confirm that on my end.
Great video People like myself are getting rid of Disney plus in my house and people like myself are staying with vhs movies now days nothing else vhs tapes don't stop playing at all yes they can get broken and people like myself are fixing broken vhs tapes with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's plus people like myself are cleaning out mode switches in VCR players everything proven that VCR player started working again with out no problem's
@theworldofwebby I just tried this with a PS1 and Rayman It was promising but 2 things caught my eye. 1) depending on the quality/length, there might be "noise" in audio. Any time there's a signal going in there can be a slight buzzing sound. So far, 2 of the 2 cables I've tested had 1 with slight noise. 2) there's a diagonal bar of what seems to be bad Deinterlacing. Simply put, the PS1 had games that ran is 240p or 480i, sometimes both with certain games using 480i menus and cutscenes (like Silent Hill or Resident Evil). If the game runs in a Interlacing source, hence the 'i', TVs have to process the image to Progressive, P. This can be seen as a shimmering affect, something that CRTs were made with in mind, while digital tvs arent. Now this could be due to firmware updates as the one I have was actually my mother's that I confiscated for gaming purposes. And because she no longer had the time. Anyway, I'm gonna try to sew how to update it and see if that's fixed. Other than that, it works with my Samsung 4k 55' that's around 2017. The only thing is this thing competes with the retrotink 2x pro that's specifically designed for retro gaming. So while you can record with this, you also don't have component/RGB capabilities. You're stuck with Composite (RCA) or s video. But you can record right to UsB or SD so no need for a computer and cheap HDMI Capture card and OBS? This does seem to be low latency so games don't have the added lag many tvs can add through their Anolog ports, due to said processing from I to P.
Update: Tried on 4 consoles. All Composite (RCA). Gamecube, N64, PS1, PS2. The issue is specifically 240p. 6th gen consoles all ran at least 480i. Those seem to work extremely well. Which is actually disappointing for me as my tv does support 480i consoles through the analog plug in. But it's very visible on ps1 and N64 which ran at 240p. I have yet to try S video or a switcher box to see if this is fixed. Or update the firmware.
Most interesting thing that I hadn't noticed in other reviews is that it masks the "head switching noise" at the very bottom (usually it's a few lines of static at the bottom and not a black bar there). Looks like you probably selected 16:9 aspect ratio capture for this test, but I believe you can set that to the appropriate 4:3 in the device settings. In terms of ease of use, small file sizes, and not needing a computer for the capture, the clearclick is one of the few options out there in terms of new hardware in that price range, However, you'll get much better quality using this method with the same tradeoffs (larger files, needs a computer, more setup) - ruclips.net/video/tk-n7IlrXI4/видео.html
Vhs tapes more free whiching in your house now days plus blue ray disc movies and DVDs people don't do good enough job of seeing that they are more free whiching in your house now days
The user manual and other videos I watched strongly encourage formatting the memory card. It definitely doesn't hurt to always format a memory card based on the operating system you will be using.

Could you record from a camcorder without the tape being in it?
I haven't tried that yet, but I'll let you know once I get a chance to try it.
@@theworldofwebbyplease don’t forget to comeback with an update 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just confirmed that you CAN record from a camcorder to this device without a tape being in the video camera. 😀
Can you choose the video quality? Will it create huge video files?
Great review but am I alone in wanting a greater resolution that 640 x 480 or am I expecting too much?
@@Rivenworld you are definitely not alone in wanting higher resolution.
what is the best way to transfer pvr to pc can clear click do that
I just bought this Clearclick capture device but sadly my Panasonic NVGS50 having issue with AV ports already :(
@@abnerfede0407 that stinks! What type of issues are you experiencing?

@@theworldofwebby I don’t know anything about this camera tech, so thank you so much
@@theworldofwebby I forget to ask, will any USB work for the converter?
hey there, I just got a sony handycam trv608 and will this work? if so do you have any idea what kinda cords I should buy?
@crxssthe5un that should work, and it looks like one of the A/V to RCA cables like I used in the video should work. Something like this: a.co/d/0iSIqEKg
Great review. Thank you.
Will this copy my manufacturer DVD's like Titanic,etc. Or will copy prevention cause the recording to fail?
I haven't attempted that type of thing yet, but I'll be sure to respond if/when I try it.
Thank you for this🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice video, does it also support PAL, can se you are using NTSC
@jespererrboe4093 that's a great question. I found a listing for this device online that said it supports PAL and NTSC, but I don't have any PAL tapes to test and confirm that on my end.
@@theworldofwebby i will get mine tomorrow, so i can confirm it if its supporting PAL also
@jespererrboe4093 if you think of it, please respond here to let us know. Thanks!
@@theworldofwebby ill will return when I have tested it
@@theworldofwebby i have now tested it, and it worked perfect 🏅

Do ya kno if this would work wit a classic ps2 sum how 🤔
If you have an AV to RCA cable for the PS2, it should work.

Based on my experience and various other instructional videos, NO formatting is required.
The user manual and other videos I watched strongly encourage formatting the memory card. It definitely doesn't hurt to always format a memory card based on the operating system you will be using.
Formatting of USB sticks is definitely required but it is a simple process, however bear in mind it will lose data that's already on the stick.
