- What are your thoughts about video transfer?
The Pinnacle Video Transfer System is designed to transfer videos from a source like your VCR or TV to a storage device like the Apple iPod, Sony PSP, memory stick, hard drive or USB storage device. You can then, if you wish, burn your files to a DVD.
What Does It Do?
How Does It Work?
The controls are simple -- a dial that has Mode and Rec printed on it. Press Mode to turn it on and off, set the recording quality to your choice of good, better or best. Then plug your USB storage device into the Pinnacle Video Transfer Device, turn the device on, start up the VCR and press record.
How Big Is It?
This little device looks big in this picture because there is no size reference. However, this unit is quite compact -- it is just a bit larger and about twice as thick as an ipod Touch. Pretty small, I would say.
What About Resolution?
Resolution will depend upon which quality you choose:
- Good -- 320 x 240 dpi
- Better -- 640 x 480 dpi
- Best -- 720 x 480 dpi

What Are The Pros of the Pinnacle Video Transfer Device?
- Easy to use.
- Good Quality image.
- Fast.
- No computer required!
- Compact.
- One-touch start and stop recording.
- Recharges iPod battery at the same time as you record (if you buy the cable.)
- Save your memories and actually see them again!
How About the Cons?
- When loading your files onto an iPod or PSP you must have the latest software on the transfer device and your iPod must be PC-formatted.
- You have to be present to stop the recording at the desired moment.
- The recording is a standard video file that is not high definition.
Most importantly:
"This nifty little unit works as advertised: video in, MP4 files out. Great for archiving, digitizing home videos or just for instant iPod gratification.
A useful little video converter for computer-less capture."

- A cable going in and a cable going out. Oh, and there are two buttons too. That's pretty much it. But what happens in the middle makes it a useful tool. Let's say you don't have a computer handy . . . or you just don't want to mess with it...

- I love this device because it's so easy to use, making for quick and easy backup of a bunch of different video sources. For example, I was able to take a stack of my camcorder tapes and turn them into MPEG-4 video files, which I could store on my USB storage drive, or even transfer to a PC for later editing. If you have a bunch of old VCR tapes, you can quickly digitize those, as well.
