Nice idea. You can also get mini dvr's that can upscale to higher resolutions and I'm sure I saw one that can even do interpolation. Basically you could get 4k.

cant find the monitor on aliexpress

Bro, i cannot see the menu when i used a normal AV wire to my TV.. Tried also using that easycap.. Any advice? I'm using a mini DV

sup man, i have no av output but rca on my vx2100e. do i have any chances to record on mini dvr???

Good morning, can you tell me how to record with better sound, since these cameras do not have good sound?

hey Max, your videos, patience an dedication to share your knowledge are amazing thanks for all, bro greetings from Chile

🗿

this is great, i wonder if i can modify once of my cameras to have the connector inside the tape area

nice video - and nice idea :)

Thank you for making these videos. I've been messing with analog video for a while, but it never occured to me that these old cams that use VTRs can be modded this way. I've completed 2 newvicon cams now, and I'm loving the result!

Wow! definitely the best hack I've seen this year!

Looks fantastic when bypassing tape during the shooting. But if I used this as a standalone tape-to-digital converter for something already recorded, how does it compare to that $60 Vidbox capture device?

It's called simply taking the body from a Barbie camera.

8 bit guy is the dude with a YUGE schlong of knowledge!

Now its time for mine.. but it needs re-cap, and PCB repair.. And i hope it will help.. otherwise.. tube... needs to be replaced... and its color one so... pain in the as.

Why you whispering fam?

Thank you very much for this video! This device is so compact and simple, but it performs such a useful function! It costs less than everything I used to buy to digitize videos from old cassettes: a video capture card for a computer, a vhs tape recorder, an easy-cap, and everything is so simple and convenient here. I am very glad that I came across your video, thank you!

Im making this rn and I love the video but the audio comes super crap u maybe know why comes like this ??

This is a cool project. But I can't help but think of how much of a miniaturization marvel that mini dvr is. Money simply could not have bought you such a tiny high quality recorder full stop back when this camera was new. Crazy how far tech has come in the past 20 years.

0:38 my first video I saw on ur channel was the Barbie camera you modded, and I’m trying to get into PCB design and I was really inspired how you were able to get the mini DVR in there and especially the USB-C female port in there and soldered on. If possible could we get more videos talking about your knowledge on pcb design in a camera moding video like the Barbie camera you did? That would be really cool and it would help a lot of people like me a whole lot

G'day, Troy from Australia once again, I just watched this vid and the music vid, great work once again!!! Can't thank you enough for putting the idea out in modding these old cameras to record to mini DVR! Thought I'd let you know a couple of my vintage cameras got used in a couple of music videos, one still available for viewing is here ua-cam.com/video/h6tBFVnqklE/v-deo.html camera used 1977-78 JVC GC-3300E two vidicon tube colour camera. I've also recently done a road trip to Tasmania and have done a LOT of filming on my 1980-81 Hanimex VC600P vidicon colour camera recording to mini DVR, am gonna upload the retro cam recordings of the trip on my channel hopefully within the next month.

I have this exact same brand dvr, but my mSD card doesn’t lock into the port - I can spring it inside, and it won’t fall out if turned upside down, but it doesn’t lock into place. Did I get a bad batch or is this normal? Thanks brother

I think my VHS camcorder only turns on the microphone when there is a tape inserted. Is there any method for me to capture audio from the microphone too? (Its a "Panasonic Omnimovie")

it's amazing to know people like you exist! I have a Sony Handycam that records on mini DVDs, and I've been looking into a way to bypass the DVDs cause they are hard to find, expensive, etc, and the camera has nightshot mode! modern phones don't have nightshot mode! I'll defnetly loo into this device, hope there is a way to improve sound quality

Hi! I followed your exact wiring diagram but when I try using it with my Elura 60, nothing shows up. However, when the cable is plugged partially into the mini DVR, there is video, but no audio. But when I plug it in a bit more, there is distorted audio but no video. If its plugged all the way, nothing. Would you know what Im doing wrong?

although I don't have much knowledge in electronic tinkering I find it's really fun watching these kinds of videos.

😃

You're talented!

Got one and the Av in and out doesn’t seem to work 😭

Great content Max! I have a question. Do you think there is any way to DIY modify a Sony CCD M8E video8 camera (the first Handycam from 1985)? It has no 'video out' or 'line out' at all. I imagine it would involve hacking the board. Where would I even start?

I think this person is probably an electrical engineer

😂🎉

Comment for the algorithm

wow i am from india i seach for imax camera but your video pop up 👆 👆

super cool video!!

Great video, Hahahaha i was also thinking of using this on a panasonic gs500, its pretty much one of the last mini dv camcorders which was released around 2006, i also use a firewire recorder which is the priciest alternative, if some one is looking for 1-1 quality then firewire is the best way to go, something like the sony mrc1 or a focus firestore fs models are the alternatives. though the mrc1 is like 400 dollars the focus firestore is like 100, whit a cheap mod you could make the focus record on cf cards like the mrc1 for easy access otherwise the firestore needs a firewire adapter

recording to a dvr without actually recording to tape is INSANE!

very useful，thx

could you provide a equipment list?

Love this. I too have had issues trying to find that connector. Some years ago I was lucky enough to find somewhere in the UK that had the AV cables in a stock list. I asked how many they had and they said 3 so I bought them all. The packages we covered in dust, clearly they'd been around for a while! But their rarity and usefulness means I was still reluctant to cut one and use it in a prodject - but I did. With hindsight using the cable from the RF modulator makes a lot more sense as a) it's of no practical use and b) they are relatively easy to find. Anyway, I build my project for the JVC GR-C1 in an old battery case. I replaced the battery cells and added some mods so I could use it as an interface with the ImmersionRC Powerplay DVR. You can see it in actions here, where I can trigger the DVR using the record button on the JVC: photos.app.goo.gl/xkTZjvX1FHHMK22E7

I want to see more camera modify videos😋

I got a mini dvr and it works but the files aren’t able to be opened. I tried every software including VLC😥 please help

what kind of currency is "Dlls"? i speak american

If it is not recorded on tape, it is not VHS :) Have you stretched the video intentionally?

Are the Mini DVR you see for sale created equal?

Awesome video. I’m planning to shoot my next feature film on a Panasonic svhs camcorder (the reporter). Keep making these great videos man.

👍

I have a Zenith Zenith VM 7050 with little use but it's not doing well. I should use it while I can and then maybe someone can recap it.

This is just fantastic!!! 😀
