Pinnacle Video Transfer Makes Converting From Analog Simple

 Pinnacle Video Transfer makes digitizing analog footage a relative breeze, especially when compared to similar devices on the market. Now you can archive video tapes like a pro with a device that could just about fit in the palm of your hand.

This little wonder can convert analog vids to MPEG-4 videos from any source. Then, the files are saved to any USB 2.0 storage device. No computer is needed during this process and you can even transfer your converted videos straight to a mobile device, like your iPod.

The Pinnacle can only transfer and convert analog sources files but digital footage can be converted by playing it back on a device with an analog output. It's as simple as pressing a button and your videos will convert and transfer. Here are a few specs: MPEG-4 encoding in H.264, 720x480 resolution, S-Video, stereo audio and composite support and a transfer speed of 480Mbps. Not too bad for $99.
