Connect Vcr To Computer Monitor

Works as I expected to connect my computer to the monitor.

This cable was used to connect an HDMI monitor to the computer.

Once again, I'm more than pleased with my B&H experience. John was incredibly helpful in figuring out what I needed to do to connect my VCR to my home theater system. This converter was easy to install, and it works perfectly. I am so thrilled to be able to watch my videos!

I love this monitor! The picture quality is so amazing. I was easy to set up and connect to my computer!

I have stacks of VHS videos from the mid-1980s and I wanted to digitize them before the tapes degraded and couldn't be played. I took several to a local shop to have transferred ro DVD and it cost a lot of money -- about $80.00 for two DVDs. The shop owner said that it cost so much because the project tied up his expensive machine and he had to keep on eye them. I researched how to do the transfer myself and I saw good reviews on the Elgato System and hoped It would work for me. I am not a techno geek but can learn new applications (66 year old). I ordered the product and when I got the directions, it looked too easy. I called Elgato to be sureI understood that I simply had to connect my VCR to my computer (MacBook Pro) directly; it did not need to be connected to the TV at all. I downloaded the software and the screen directions are very clear. FYI. The video streaming from the VHS player shows up on the computer screen and can be cropped if necessary. At the end, I open iMovie and then burn DVDs with iDVD. Eventually, I will save to an external drive. I am very pleased with this product and the quality is excellent. I did find that I had the clean the heads on the VCR if the tapes seemed messy. I found several helpful You Tube clips on how to take off the cover of a VCR and clean the heads with alcohol and q-tips.

I had a little bit of trouble getting everything to come together. Old tapes, old VCR, older computer. But once it meshed I was flabbergasted. I have over 100 tapes that need transferring. Wish me luck. I have tried other options ,but the Elgato lets me tape without stopping and put them on my PC. Love it so far.

having many old vcr tapes that we wished to transfer to dvd and also to enjoy watching them on our computer. Our Dazzle recorded works beautiful and is easy to use. no negatives to report.

I have an older Sony Handycam and use a Mac. I have had a heck of a time figuring out how to transfer video from the Sony to my computer. With this cable, I finally have a workaround. I feed the signal from the Handicap through the A/V port (digital) using this cable to a VCR. Then I use the Roxio VHS to DVD cable to go from the VCR to the Mac computer. With this setup, I'm able to transfer my video. The Sony Handicam apparently doesn't support USB transfer to Mac computers, which is why I had to figure out this workaround.

This connector is all you need to connect a Mac mini M1 or any computer with a HDMI video out to a DVI monitor input, it's inexpensive and it works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to use this to connect my laptop to my computer monitor. It was easy to use and I like that I was able to use both monitors at the same time. This even came in handy when I connected a laptop with a non working screen to my monitor.
