This device finally does what I have been wanting since my purchase of a Sony CX7 avchd camcorder. I always wished I could just hook my cam internals to my hd pvr and record a show in HD.
Well this is almost like that , the box has hd component inputs (and outpus for passthru) with an internal processor to convert the video straight to avchd out the usb port.
Now , for the cool part… since my computer was no where near my hd sat receiver I decided to try using 2 usb active extension cables to bring my usb port to the box. Worked great!

The software included will make a .TS file (avchd) now you can play this file directly on a PS3 by just renaming it with a .m2ts extension ! just rename it and your done… no further transcodes needed!
But the best part is to make a hi def blu ray dvd using a cheap blank dvd-r . You can put 1 hour of HD avchd video on a standard 4.7gb dvd-r - your blu ray player / PS3 will see this disc as a valid hd blu ray disc and play it! No blu ray burner needed to actually make blu ray discs.
Creating the disc does not take very long since its putting your file in the proper blu ray structure… its just copying it not transcoding it…. so quick and painless.
Now if you want to make a standard SD dvd this will take longer because it will have to transcode it..
I found the included software pretty straight forward and easy to use. Making a avchd playable disc was totally painless.
If you want to record a show in HD and keep it for later pRead more
