Neuros iPod & PSP Video Recorder

Instant iPod and PSP Video… no PC required

Finally the future you dreamed of has arrived. Your iPod and PSP can play high quality video with stereo sound and not even break a sweat. But how often are you watching video? Probably not much… and it’s a damn shame with all that high-tech goodness in your hot little geek hand. Well fret no longer. The Neuros iPod &PSP Video Recorder is a standalone device that allows you to create movie files compatible with your iPod or PSP from any video input like your DVD Player, Cable Box or DVR.

Ripping movies from a DVD (that you of course have purchased) couldn’t be easier. Simply hook the Neuros Recorder to the line outs of your DVD player, slap in a memory stick or CF card and use the Neuros’ on-screen menu to start recording. For playback on PSP you simply pull the memory stick from the Neuros, insert into the PSP… and instant video. To get video onto your iPod you need to have a card reader on your PC so you can drag the file into iTunes and copy it to your iPod.

Important Note: The Neuros iPod and PSP Video recorder does not come with a memory card. You will need either a Memory Stick or or CF Card to store your video on. Additionally, to transfer movies to your iPod you will need a card reader on your PC to move the files from your card into iTunes.
