does this work witha computer, or is it a machine that you plug in and operate

It doesn't work with the computer. You put in the A/V cables from the TV to the converter, then hook up the Output A/V cables from your video game/VCR/DVD whatever to the VuPoint. Hit record, and what ever is on screen of the TV is recorded onto a SD card in the converter. You can then take the SD card out of the converter and plug it into your computer and BAM. You have your video. So, it doesn't so much CONVERT anything, just records what's on the TV.I suppose that was more of an answer than you wanted.

Sorry for the delayed response. It does not work with a computer. It plugs into a VCR and television to record the VHS onto an SD card. You take the SD card and put that into your computer and then run your Windows DVR Maker or the like to burn a DVD. It does work that way. I need to change my previous review. I sent the review before playing with it some more. Now it works fine. The picture quality is poor but that is just VHS tapes altogether actually. Hope this helps!

The video is stored on an SD memory card that you have to buy separately. You then have a digital copy on the memory card that can be read by a computer or some other device with an SD card reader.

Hi Jean. I had my daughter expert help me. If you can play your VHS tapes on your computer, good job. If not, you transfer them to the machine on a SD or Sim card you buy, then the card goes into the computer. You have to have editing program if you want to slice, splice, and edit all your videos. My daughter has a Mac computer and she got it on the computer, but does not have the editing program you need. I agree with the other reviews in that sound is very distorted and slower than lips moving. My tapes are 20 years old though. Good Luck. It's a painstaking process, just like watching the video yourself, because it does not transfer at warp speed. Hope this helps. Hi Jean. I had my daughter expert help me.

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

If you have a USB plug, you can use that to charge it. You can also use the computer.

No and no, it works as if you had an USB Flashdrive plugged in your computer

I'm not a computer person, but I believe that it just plugs into the power source on your laptop to communicate with the mouse. I didn't have to install and software, so should be fine.

No, it is like a wireless mouse and keyboard. You still need the computer to work along with it.

It is a stand alone unit. You do not need to plug into a computer; however, it will NOT copy DVDs that you have purchased in the store. They are all copy-guarded.

Pedal... The plug is only for the electronics. The pedaling tells the onboard computer that you are working the machine.

The mouse and the keyboard operate independently of each other. So, if the mouse works with your computer, it should still work when you plug in the keyboard.

I've never actually hooked it to a computer. I've always used it as a stand alone disc copier, just plugging it into the wall outlet and going from there. I love mine; works awesome!

You can plug it into your computer or a wall outlet if you have a wall adaptor that connects to a USB cable.

I agree with Allen, this is a USB plug and play device, as long as you have a USB port on your computer it will work

Nope! It runs on the USB power so all you need to do is plug it into your PC.

the device is USB Powered. Just plug into available USB port on you computer and go to work

Yes it works without the computer. But I have to caution you regarding buying this product. I bought two of them so far. They work for an year or so and it stops working. I have two of them and I can give them you free to you. just pay for postage.

It works plugged into a USB plug in a wall outlet as well as in the computer.

You can do both. For a machine, you need to make sure you can connect to this power supply with proper connection.

If I'm remembering correctly, it said it was plug-and-play. If not, I downloaded them. I followed the directions that came with it. I threw it away because I tried it on three machines and it wouldn't work.
