Very good
THE GOOD
Records TV shows--or any video source--to CompactFlash, SD, MMC, Memory Stick flash media; relatively easy to set up; connects to any cable/satellite box, DVR, VCR, or DVD player; recorded MPEG-4 files play back on a wide variety of mobile handheld devices, including the PSP, many PDAs, mobile phones, portable media players, and--after a PC file transfer--the video iPod; doesn't recognize Macrovision copy-protection flags, so recording VHS and DVD movies isn't a problem; can also be used to view JPEG images and to listen to MP3 audio stored on your cards.
THE BAD
All video recording is done in real time, which will frustrate anyone used to ripping DVDs or downloading video files. The recorder lacks S-Video connectivity and an IR blaster for cable/satellite box control.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 Plus provides a straightforward way to get video content onto your portable device without the need for a PC.
