Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 Digital Video Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been converting videos for my ipod since November, and just started converting for my PSP a month ago. I've converted hundreds of hours worth of video and used at least 3 different programs for each device. Nothing has given me anywhere near the video quality that this does.

I've bought TV shows on Itunes and watched them on my 27" TV and been amazed at how good the image quality was, but I've never been able to do as well with videos I've converted myself - until now. At the highest quality setting the recordings look just as good as anything I've bought on Itunes, and with 60GB of memory on my ipod file size isn't an issue. (I recorded before and after I installed a very recent firmware upgrade - if you buy this, go to Neuros' site and get the upgrade, it makes a difference)

Converting for PSP is easier than with any program I've used. You record directly onto the memory stick, and then just pop it into the PSP and there it is on the video menu. You only have to deal with the PSP's #&%$@# file naming requirements if you want to move the files off the stick to archive them.

The other big advantage this has over everything else I've used is that this is a one step process - you record it and you can watch it on your device immediately. Everything else I've used was 2 step: you recorded or ripped in real time, then you converted, in real time or longer. This is half the work.

There are only 2 real downsides: You have to hook up the video out to a tv because it has no display of it's own, and it has no memory you can record onto - you need a memory stick or cf card. A potential third issue is the remote - you need it to do everything, even turn it on, so you really, really don't want to lose it.

Overall, this thing is amazing. I wish I had bought it when I got my ipod. I could have saved over $100 that I spent on converting software, and a lot of time.
