1 / 7PORTTA VD22P VHS to Digital Converter with 5-inch Screen
Digital Converter: The PORTTA VD22P is a standalone video capture recorder for converting playback from a separate VCR, DVD player, camcorder or other compatible source into MP4. It has a built-in 5-inch preview screen, but the listing also claims Full HD 1080p at 60fps, which should not be assumed to describe the resolution of the source or recorded file without confirmation.
At a glance
- Built-in screen is described for preview and playback, so a computer is not required for the stated capture workflow.
- Accepts AV (CVBS) and component (YPbPr) video inputs with R/L stereo audio, according to the listing.
- The listing says image brightness, contrast and saturation can be adjusted on the device.
- Requires a separate playback device. It is not a VHS or DVD player and cannot play tapes or discs on its own.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: its 5 TB storage-capacity field does not establish whether storage is built in, while the feature text instead describes saving to external USB drives, TF cards, HDDs and SSDs. It claims Full HD 1080p at 60fps without clarifying whether this is capture output or source compatibility, and a 5-inch HD screen is not assigned a resolution. Confirm the selected model's actual recording resolution, supported storage and included connections before buying.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People digitising tapes or discs who already have a compatible playback device and want on-device preview and recording.
- Buyers with legacy AV or component video sources who prefer a capture workflow that does not require a PC.
Less suited to
- Anyone expecting a converter that plays VHS tapes or DVDs by itself.
- Buyers who need a confirmed capture resolution or verified included cables and storage media before purchase.

Customer feedback reports easy setup and generally positive experiences with functionality and compatibility. Other feedback is mixed on the power cord, capture quality and value, including a report of mediocre capture quality and differing views on whether the price is worthwhile. For buyers digitising legacy footage, those concerns make connection reliability and the actual recorded result important to check, especially since the listing's 1080p at 60fps claim does not clearly specify capture output.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the converter as easy to set up and say it works well.
- Feedback mentions compatibility and ease of connecting to a computer.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback is mixed on the power cord, video quality and value for money.

No. The listing says it is a converter and recorder, not a VHS or DVD player. You need a separate compatible playback device.
Does it record without a computer?
The listing describes a plug-and-play workflow without a PC, software or driver, with recordings saved to external storage options. Confirm the required storage and connections for your setup.
What video inputs does it support?
The listing specifies AV (CVBS) and component (YPbPr) inputs, with R/L stereo audio.
Is the recording resolution confirmed as 1080p at 60fps?
