This idiot-proof video player allows you to convert long-forgotten VHS recordings into pristine digital files. So you can cringe at your shoulder pads in those homemade vids, laugh at Arfur’s antics in Minder, marvel at Wogan’s hair-don’t (course you videoed Eurovision) and sing along to the Shake ‘n’ Vac ad, without cracking out your soon to be obsolete VCR.

Here’s the specs.

  • Includes Easy Video Conversion software to customise movies and burn DVDs
  • Software allows you to take still images from videos
  • Can convert videos from camcorder to PC, via AV sockets on the front of the device
  • Works as a regular VHS player for TV playback
  • RCA and USB Outputs
  • Scart output
  • Auto tracking and tape playback
  • LED-backlit buttons

The VCR 2 PC is available to buy online for £149.95 from Firebox.

    Can you convert old V.H.S. tapes fromthe V.C.R. to a media hard drive centre to store and index over 100 tapes to play on modern t.v.? If so, I need to keep it simple, and need to know the make of Media centre which is compatible. I do not want to have to spend time obtaining a ‘firmer’ I live in the U.K.and will buy if I can do the job without having to spend time ‘tuning’ and playing about with the computer or media centre.

    Yes, you can convert them easily to a media center if it is capable of being a stand alone hard drive.
