About this deal

I was very fortunate to get hold of the manual adapter and I thought it would make a good comparison to show people what is/was available online.

Due to how VHS VCRs record and read audio, they are not equipped to read the AFM ( Audio Frequency Modulation - similar to audio for FM radio) audio recorded on an 8mm or Hi8 tape. I took the adapter out of the vhs player, it felt unusually warm (heatwave this summer Aug/2020) - slightly difficult to get the tape out . Then the lid did not close - so presumably the plastic material had deformed. Note the bottom of the adopter is steel whereas the VHS tape cassettes are plastic (no metal bottom).This particular cassette was housed inside a jewel case style plastic hinged case similar to an audio cassette Transferring your VHS-C tapes to MP4 doesn’t have to be complicated and it really boils down to how you want to spend the time converting the tapes yourself. The tape-side has a thin flap, not quite the depth of the cassette, covering the tape as a form of protection. It’s not particularly robust, and can be flipped open accidentally even against its “latch”. This is the standout advantage of having a VHS-C tape compared to an 8mm tape which you want to convert to digital. I have a mechanical problem with a vhs_c --> vhs adaptor - do other people have such problems please?. Mine seemed to have deformed. Better solution ?

You will notice the driver is shown as ezcap Video Grabber. Both recommended capture devices I spoke of (the ezcap116 and ezcap1568) use the same driver. Exporting Your Footage to MP4 For the motorized adapter, simply placing the VHS-C tape into the adapter and closing the lid will start the auto process for stretching the tape.If you are trying to make your transfers as cheap as possible you will still need to spend some money on the capture card.
