Description

The listing, Portable Personal Video Recorder has ended.

The AudioVox PVR1000 features a 2.5" vibrant TFT LCD meant for portable on-the-go viewing of recorded video, photos and MP3 playback.

If you are looking for a portable MP3/MP4 Player, this is not it. If you want a portable unit to record AV signals (RCA style video and stereo sound) this is a decent choice. The unit can record directly record and playback from an SD card, additionally you can add photos and MP3s onto the SD card for playback.

This unit has been well used by my young children for a couple of weeks during the summer to fight boredom on some long bus rides to camp. The clips that hold the battery door broke and I resorted to some crazy clue and packaging tape to keep it in place. The system seems to be holding together. As part of the "repair," I disassembled the back cover and lost one of the 10+ screws. (Sorry.)

I could not get the PC software that came with it to work; they claim you could convert videos into a Windows specific ASF format that it could play. I could not get the bundled software to work in either direction, but VLC could play the recorded video without a problem. I throw out the installation disks in disgust. For what it is worth, both YouTube and Facebook were able to accept recorded video from the unit. The only effective way to get video into the right format for the unit was to use the unit like a VCR.

I am only including the unit and video input cable. (Both of which are pictured.) You must provide your own SD card and usb cable for charging and syncing.

Free shipping in the US only.

Definitely not.

from 1-10 what would you rate the video quality then 1-10 what would you rate the audio quality?

Apr 13th, 2010 at 6:26:34 PM PDT by

Sound quality is tinny, I would put it low, about a 3.
Definitely not something you want to be listening to for music.

The picture quality is decent for NTSC-type signals, there are not a lot of pixels on the screen.

About the recording capabilities, I have a video on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nGzChl7U98. (Listia may have split the url, remove spaces as requried.)

The backstory, my sister recorded the video on her camcorder but left the cables at home. I patched the playback from camcorder onto this PVR, took the resulting ASF video file and uploaded it to YouTube. About 2 days later, they converted it.

Apr 13th, 2010 at 1:00:19 PM PDT by

I believe it is micro usb, the kind that you have on many portable devices.

can you still record and put vids into your comp.

Apr 10th, 2010 at 9:26:34 PM PDT by

Yes, it comes in some ASF format. I've found that VLC plays it fine and I can import it into both YouTube and FaceBook. (It took about 2 days for my file to appear on YouTube, I'm guessing because it had to do conversion. Facebook took considerably less time, but it was not instantaneous.)

oh man i need this to

Unfortunately, Paypal is not available in Russia ...

Apr 7th, 2010 at 4:15:48 AM PDT by

Can delivery to Russia?

Apr 6th, 2010 at 9:48:34 PM PDT by

You would need to pay shipping via PayPal, but I could send it. (Check USPS for rates from the US; the package will be no more than 10oz. When I get a chance, I'll weight it since it might be a bit less.)
