Onkyo wants to make it easy for you to record video from a TV or any other video source onto an SD card with its VR-1000J MPEG-4 Recorder, magically turning it into that MPEG-4 format of the Sony PSP or many mobile phones. No PC required, just plug the video in and out comes the PSP-playable video at 30fps at 320×240 in its superfine mode.
Sure, you can compress video for the PSP and transfer it to SD cards with your PC, and this is not the first MPEG-4 recorder, either—a Neuros MPEG-4 recorder beat this Onkyo unit to market by about two years—but this one looks way cooler with its pyramid-shaped design and greatly simplifies that whole pain-in-the-ass PSP video transfer process. If they ever to bring onto the United States, it’ll cost around $171.
