Without using a PC its now possible to copy analog video from any source in MPEG-4 quality to any USB 2.0 storage device, with a single touch of a button.

High-speed USB 2.0 connection ensures fast video transfer. The compact size makes it perfect for backing up videos on the go.

Pinnacle Video Transfer is an innovative device which records analog video from a TV, camcorder or set-top box, VCD/DVD player, VHS player and transfers it directly onto a Video iPod, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, PSP, USB flash drive, USB hard drive, or any other portable video player without using a PC.

Pinnacle Video Transfer provides high-quality MPEG-4 encoding in H.264 at up to 720×480/576 (NTSC/PAL) resolution and supports multiple inputs including S-Video, Composite video and stereo audio.

This small device is a little fatter than the iPod Classic, though the height and width are similar. The side edges are curved, and so are the top and bottom ones, so it looks a bit convex in perspective. These top and bottom edges are made of hard, translucent plastic, in a deep shade that matches the smooth black finish of the body. It looks classy, which is good – many gadgets in this genre tend to look tacky.

Users with little or no technical expertise can begin audio-video recording.The controls are simple: an aluminum-finish round button is placed bang center of the top face. This isn’t a dial, its a two-way push button, with the top and bottom arcs labeled ‘mode’ and ‘rec’. Pushing mode once turns it on, and pressing it for more than 2 seconds turns it off. The rec button does what its name implies: record.
