This thing is a total piece of As Seen on TV plastic cheapness, but I used it in my Mater of Fine Arts thesis exhibition to play a video art piece I made and it was a total surrealist and new media art hit. People loved it, and I love this thing. It is a part of mass-consumer art history now.

bought this use and there was no issues, it plays fine. however i had to download vlc media player to play the music video dvd, windows media player wouldnt read the disc for some reason. other than that the used cd was worth the money.

It's everything it claims to be, but i have rejected the use of the video clips from this contraption.  It's a toy.  Use it once but do we really need to BUY it?  Just BORROW it and if you cant find someone to borrow it from, then count that as an aesthetic blessing.

The video was very instrumental in the instruction of my fire science class. It peaked my class of fire science students interest in a piece of equipment that plays a major role in their chosen profession.

I looked at all the reviews at the apple website and this site. I started to conclude that perhaps this is a bad item. YET there are a FEW that vouch for it.

Saying how good it is.

After getting bad grades...desperate... I sucummed to purchasing this at the local university.

After purchasing this overpirced item, (hence 4 stars)I tested it out. I sat in the back of a classroom that can hold two hundered people...and recorded the lecture...

I found that you cannot really listen to the lecture on the retardly puny speaker on the italk HOWEVER, YOU can listen to the lecture again using your earpieces.

It was lovely! I was impressed with what it picked up. It even picked up some nasty conversation that my neighbor was having with her friend!

I love it.

Bad thing: it does eat up your batteries and it can record up to about 1 hour 30 minutes before it goes bad.

I use it on an old Camcorder that only has RCA adapters to convert it into a .mov file. It works wonders for those people who are trying to convert there old media storage devices into a more digitize version for a more convenience use and storage.

It is great for slideshows, netflix, pandora, and many video formats, but it will not recognize or play video files stored in the Real Media (.rm) format. Too bad, since a lot of my collection is in that format. For that you have to convert to another format like wmv.

I wanted a soothing piece for my video, this worked beautifully.

I'm a historian and like cultural subjects. After reading about the historical context of this video production and its content, I decided to get it for my son. He likes it.

I tried it on Apple TV and a DVD player and in multiple inputs. And it produced no sound or video.

The screen is quite old and the chipset are probably from 5 years ago. But overall if you plugin your own custom made video it gives u a great moment :) I loved it.

I got this as a gift, and i made a movie for it(simple slideshow w/ music rendered) but it lagged out when playing vid files. it seemed fine running music and photo slide show seperatly though, so i will still give it three star.
