Portta VD22P VHS-to-Digital Converter with 5" Screen 📷
Description:
This portable video capture and recorder from PORTTA turns analog sources into MP4 files while offering a built-in 5.0-inch preview screen, making it practical for digitizing tapes and retro console footage on the go. It records up to 1080p at 60 Hz according to the manufacturer, and is useful when you want to preserve old VHS, Hi8, Mini DV or DVD collections without a PC.
Key Points
The unit accepts multiple input types including AV/RCA, component YPbPr and AUX-in, so you can connect VCRs, camcorders, DVRs and older consoles with standard cables. It works plug-and-play without drivers or dedicated software, and saves recordings directly to a USB drive or TF/SD card for monitoring and later transfer. A small internal speaker and the 5-inch LCD let you preview captures immediately. Note that this device is a converter/recorder only and cannot play tapes or disks by itself.

Usage Recommendations
Connect the correct cable for your source and confirm input selection in the device menu to avoid muted or empty captures. Insert a USB flash drive or TF card before recording and check that the device shows the storage medium as available. The included remote helps start and stop recordings from a short distance, which can be convenient when handling a VCR or camcorder simultaneously. Also consider that very old tapes may need cleaning or playback equipment maintenance for the best transfer results.
Advantages
The compact design makes transfers possible without a computer and simplifies archiving projects that would otherwise require more complex setups. It supports a broad range of legacy formats so you can centralize backups into a single digital format. Two warranty options are listed by the manufacturer along with lifetime technical support, which can be helpful if you run into configuration questions or hardware issues.
