Lindy USB to Parallel Converter Cable

StarTech S-VIDEO to USB 2.0 capture cable

Advantages: Small, cheap, does what it says on the box
Disadvantages: none

I had to transfer some old VHS into DVD for convenience so I did browse the internet looking for something really good yet easy to use and most important not expensive. I found a lot of very good reviews about this product, so I decided to give it a go and bought one, well I have to say that it works beautifully, the manual is very clear, the installation was a breeze, the software bundled is very useful and whilst I'm writing the device is currently helping me to transfer my 10th tape and counting... The video output is surprisingly good in particular using the composite input, I checked with "graphedit" the directshow codecs used and they are the one provided by the bundled software, however because the device is a WDM compliant device you can use any capture software that will convert to MPEG2 with better codecs, again this is just ...

Review of StarTech.com S-Video to USB 2.0 Video Capture Cable

Need a spare cable?

Advantages: Works just as the orginial cable shipped with iPod - Great Spare/Replacement
Disadvantages: Can be costly if purchased from Apple

Apple iPod data cable is not an essential purchase as any iPod you buy comes with one with the exception of the shuffle. However should you find yours broken or wanting an extra cable this is for you. The cable is identical to the one shipped with your original ipod both in apperance and length. It comes with a locking dock connecter at one side and a USB connector on the other. The cable is designed to allow you to transfer your data to and from your PC/Mac or to charge the ipod itself . I boughtone of these as spare as they were available for $5. I now have one at work for those emergency charges - and one connected to my universal dock at home. I own generic cables for the iPod and this cable has no advantage apart from the locking connector on the dock side. This cable can cost more than generic ones. ...

Review of Apple iPod Dock Connector To USB 2.0 Data cable

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m ...
