Wolverine TransMedia- Home Movies Digitizer Scanner and Converter. Video to Digital Converter - Record Video from VCR's, VHS Tapes, AV- RCA, Hi8, Camcorder, DVD

It was great I was able to transfer some movies from a 8mm tape to a flash drive it was wort it

Like some other users I had this sitting unopened in the box for a few months, and just attempted to use it to transfer VHS to USB. Once I read the manual and found the (unstated) restrictions for USB/Cards I ensured I used a 32GB FAT32 drive. I had a separate monitor next to the Wolverine and the video and sound from VHS were perfect. Unplugged from the monitor and into the Wolverine, nothing. The in-system menus worked fine, then the screen went blank with backlight, a 0 kb blank file would be created if I hit Record, and I tried different combinations of functions with different storage devices. It's a brick. An expensive brick.Update: I contacted support and they had me send the unit back (on my dime) for evaluation. They sent me a replacement and... no video! Surprise surprise. At least this time it does pretend to record, though there's nothing recorded because there's no video received. Yeah, don't get this thing.

Read the directions folks!!This scanner and converter is a great value and I've had no issues converting 8mm Video 8 VRC and regular VRC to USB and SD cards. I don't agree with the negative reviews. Read the directions!! It WILL burn to MPG (Mac OSX native by the way) - I needed this and change it in settings from the default MP4. It has no issues with USB - Reused USB drives are finicky so yes to always freshly format before starting your video project (even if new) and use no larger than 32GB, same for SD cards. All this is in the manual.I found that 25min of video conversion at HQ level equals around 1GB MPG files size. So 32GB media is plenty of space for a typical 120min tape.Now here's a tip and reality check - this unit does not contain a Crey supercomputer so it needs time to process and burn. I personally found that small 25 min chunks of video burn reasonably well and I give the unit time to process and burn. Follow the screen prompts and al shoddy be well. Be realistic with these types of devices - they are not pro level and there is a tradeoff on performance, etc. I found it is way to use but I needed to review the manual to find out most of what I mentioned here.

Man, i really liked the style and body of this device, everything was sitting within easy reach, alot of features, but when tryng to record, it kept saying that it was checking storage device,--(U.S.B. or S-D card, but it took litterally hours, one time i just went to bed to give it time and woke up hours later and it was still checking??? to bad i really liked this, i went ahead and have tried the rest of them, and did find one, very easy to work, and efficient, and at a much lower price, to bad cause i really liked the wolverine model, get your equipment together.

I have been using this device for a little over a week to mainly transfer video from tape to SD cards and it has worked perfectly. My only complaint is that the device will not accept SD card larger that 32G, most of the ones I have are larger. May update review once I try and transfer some DVD's to the SD cards.

Do not deal with this company or buy this product. Lasted two months, charged me to send it in, then said it wasn't covered and wanted half what I paid for it to fix it.UPDATE: after I sent a not so nice email, they repaired and sent back my device

I have an old Sony Digitizer Converter which still works and works well and I thought the design really couldn't be improved upon. Boy was I wrong! I'm a fan of the Wolverine Products and I would have to say that this one makes me want to give the Sony away. I initially bought it for a backup and have to admit, I thought the color was also an attractive feature. With this one, can actually see the full effect of the recording picture and process. The Sony only affords the viewing process but digitizer looks pretty much the same, outwardly, though decades older. The Wolverine is faster and it does incorporate the HDMI slot which wasn't in use when the Sony was purchased so I had to hook up an accessory to it to make it work. Results were just ok. The recording results are fantastic!! This unit is very much self-=intuitive.

So we have these sd cards that we wanted to convert to dvds and we saw this and we got it right away. So it came in the mail in good condition and we got it hooked up and all I have to say is it was horrible it was so complicated and confusing like we got blank dvds to put the sd cards on and it kept saying dvd is not enough space and when we got a good dvd we waiting (2 hours) for it to convert for nothing when we played it was a blue screen nothing no videos nothing. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed in this product I can not believe this is 300 dollars this is something u would get at the dollar tree. Getting a refund. I do not recommend this product.
