I’ve been converting videos for my ipod since November, and just started converting for my PSP a month ago. I’ve converted hundreds of hours worth of video and used at least 3 different programs for each device. Nothing has given me anywhere near the video quality that this does.
I’ve bought TV shows on Itunes and watched them on my 27″ TV and been amazed at how good the image quality was, but I’ve never been able to do as well with videos I’ve converted myself – until now. At the highest quality setting the recordings look just as good as anything I’ve bought on Itunes, and with 60GB of memory on my ipod file size isn’t an issue. (I recorded before and after I installed a very recent firmware upgrade – if you buy this, go to Neuros’ site and get the upgrade, it makes a difference)
Converting for PSP is easier than with any program I’ve used. You record directly onto the memory stick, and then just pop it into the PSP and there it is on the video menu. You only have to deal with the PSP’s #&%$@# file naming requirements if you want to move the files off the stick to archive them.
The other big advantage this has over everything else I’ve used is that this is a one step process – you record it and you can watch it on your device immediately. Everything else I’ve used was 2 step: you recorded or ripped in real time, then you converted, in real time or longer. This is half the work.
There are only 2 real downsides: You have to hook up the video out to a tv because it has no display of it’s own, and it has no memory you can record onto – you need a memory stick or cf card. A potential third issue is the remote – you need it to do everything, even turn it on, so you really, really don’t want to lose it.
Overall, this thing is amazing. I wish I had bought it when I got my ipod. I could have saved over $100 that I spent on converting software, and a lot of time.

The product does everything it claims. However, they could have spent a few more hours and bucks working on the instruction manual, adding another LED to actually let you know the product is active when you hit the on button (because of the slight lag time between functions), not to mention adding a key pad to the top of the device. It took way to long to figure out how to set up this simple device, a couple of extra hints in the instruction manual would be of help, like: video output is on video one, etc. All in all the device is great once you’ve figure it out. The only items which keeps me from rating this device as the next best thing to sliced bread is the instruction manual and the lack of a attached keypad to the top of the device.

The Recorder 2 makes it trivially easy to get movies and TV shows onto my PSP. You pretty much just press the record button and it does the rest. Recommended!

This is amazing! When i bought this it changed the value of my psp and psp 1 GB mem. stick. It went from 300$ To 300,000$ in my mind. Now anything thats on t.v. i can watch on my psp. It also works an our comcast digital cable box, Satellite dishes, Tivo,Tv, Xbox, Ps2,Xbox 360 and any thing with the standard yellow cord in red cord in and white cord input it will work with. You simply pop you Memory Stick Duo and press rec. and it will record anything on your t.v screen, from you playing video games or watching the simpsons,Desperate Houswives,South park and Many other shows. Hint:you should have at least a 512 MB mem stick or else you wont get much use out of it

The Neuros Recorder will record video from any video source in MPEG4 and 3GP format. This device is the easiset way to transfer video content to your Ipod or your PSP. Maybe you have a stack of old VHS tapes and you want to transfer them all to MPEG4 format. Hooking the Neuros up is a snap. Connect the AV cables to your input and output devices, plug in the AC adapter, and insert your memory cards. Instead of buying video content from the Itunes store, you can record it yourself for free.
