If you’ve got home movies that you shot back in the day on VHS or some other video format, Pinnacle Systems offers the Dazzle Video Creator Platinum, which is a USB 1.1/2.0 device (the doohickey in the image) that takes video from a camcorder, VHS or other analog video source, and converts it using hardware into MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX formats.
