Convert your VHS or TV shows into digital media!

The great thing about video tapes is…erm, hang on, there isn’t anything great about them. They’re rubbish. But we bet you’ve got stacks of them cluttering up your cupboards. Thing is you can’t bin ‘em, they’re full of precious recordings. So thank goodness for the U Record Video Converter.

Simply hook this clever little gizmo up to your VCR or camcorder via the supplied cables, USB it into your PC and hey presto – it will convert your beloved recordings into digital files. You can then archive them, burn them to DVD or sync them to your portable gizmo of choice (iPhone, PSP, etc.). It even comes with div-proof software that analyses and improves the quality of your vids.

As well as its impressive ability to amalgamate obsolete technology with cutting edge jiggery-pokery, the USB-powered U Record is compatible with modern video sources. Use it to transfer Sky Plus recordings to your PC, or convert DVDs into iPhone-friendly MP4s. It’s a breeze thanks to the included EZ Video Converter software.

5) Instructions

Buy the U Record and you’ll soon be chortling at dad’s Speedos on those reinvigorated holiday vids, wincing at Cheggers’ pith helmet (assuming you were unlucky enough to video Naked Jungle), marvelling at the staggering unfunniness of ‘Allo ‘Allo and singing along to long-forgotten ads. ‘Hope it’s chips, it’s chips...’

Remember kids, video tapes don’t last forever. That’s why it makes sense to digitise them asap. And once you’ve successfully archived your VHS library don’t forget to stamp on those cumbersome tapes before chucking them. After all, you wouldn’t want the binmen to know you’d gone over the last five minutes of Knight Rider with a clip of Carol Vorderman fumbling for a P, would you?

Hello firebox, Tom here! Can you tell me, can you use this to record from an Xbox 360? And is there a life preview window whe you can see what is been recorded? Thanks!
Tom, Hawkinge - 29th July 2012

Firebox says: Hey Tom, unfortunately not, sorry about that!

Software is truly awful - you have to navigate into folders to find. Exe files as it doesn't autorun, plus tried to use it on a Mac and a PC: on the PC, it gave the dreaded blue screen of death every time I tried to capture, and on my Mac it was a completely different application which gave terrible video/audio quality and extremely basic functions. A truly awful user experience.
Alec, Winchester - 2nd July 2012

Firebox says: Oh dear, sorry to hear that Alec. Drop us an email (info@firebox.com) if you haven't already to get this sorted for you.

Would this be able to convert recorded programmes from a dvd hard disk?
Julian Graley, Germany - 12th April 2012

Firebox says: Unfortunately not, Julian - this can just convert from VHS.

Hi, which product is the better, this or video 2 go? do they use the same software? im using a mac book, I notice this has more recent reviews and is now mac compatible which it wasnt before, confused, please help, thanks.
ROB, London - 6th March 2012

Firebox says: Hi Rob, They are both very similar, and we get great reviews from both, however the software bundle with the U Record has a few extra features

It says you can transfer Sky+ recording onto your PC, is it also possible to get recording off a Virgin V+ box too?
Steve, Manchester - 24th February 2012

Firebox says: Hi Steve, you sure can, as long as the device has all the right connectors you will be fine!

Can I store the files on my pc if I don't want to burn a dvd but just watch on my pc? What is the default file format of the videos after being converted?
Cam, - 8th January 2012

Firebox says: Hi Cam, it converts them to Mpeg4 files.
