I then went through the little wizard and within minutes I was watching Animal Planet on my MacMini!! I simply connected the EyeTV to my MacMini, installed the software, connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the EyeTV and started up the software.
EYETV 250 REVIEW TV
It’s to bad it didn’t have a component input.Īnother feature that I just barely setup this morning is the ability to watch TV using this device! You obviously need cable service. I would have to say the Playstation graphics looked a lot better, the xBox 360 is a higher end system and using the composite cable isn’t such a good idea. I also noticed that it doesn’t really look that great, I tried xBox 360 and Playstation 2. You do ned to have USB 2.0 on your computer to take advantage of that feature though. The EyeTV 250 also has this game mode that lets you connect your video game systems and basically lets you use your computer monitor instead of a TV monitor. I brought them into iMovie (which takes some time since it has to convert them into an iMovie format), make them look nice, added some titles and captions and then put them into iDVD and burned a DVD! It sure looks great! I am still keeping the digital formats just incase I need to make extra copies. Of course after converting them to H.264 they were significantly smaller. Each 120 minute VHS took up about 3.5 to 4GBs of hard drive space. I used the VHS Assistant and within a few hours I had all my VHS home videos in a digital format! I used an external firewire Lacie hard drive.
EYETV 250 REVIEW SOFTWARE
The unit itself is about the size of 2-3 iPod stacked on-top of each other, nice and small! It comes with some great software that makes the whole process very easy. The EyeTV 250 does exactly this and then some.
I was looking for a piece of hardware that would let me easily get my VHS tapes onto my computer so that I could spruce them up a little and also burn them to DVDs. I just recently purchased the Elgato EyeTV 250.
