well I, My Dad, My Brother and my best friend has had one of these since 2017. We Record anything and everything, BUT we did notice we had to buy a cheap $30 HDMI switcher to bypass any HCDP. Thats so you can use your DVD, blu ray player hooked up to it, or any signal producing a HCDP signal. We all have those HDMI switchers installed, so we record ANYTHING we want, no matter what it is. I have about a 1 in 6 failure rate of a corrupt recording each to I try a long recording with it plus 90min, I have software that will correct the corrupted file. I find it easier to use fat32 with 2gb recorded files, more stable recordings and easier just to correct 1 - 2gb file than an entire 8 to 13gb single file using NTFS. I use a 128gb USB 3.0 Samsung flash drive. I have tried many of these and even though its not perfect its the most stable and trouble free on I have ever used. I only use it now 3-4x a year, but it works and records each time I need to. Its great when you buy a HD recording from Amazon prime and need a backup of it for your own records.
@@retroCombs thanks for replying but I was asking about the $30 switcher OP mentioned. Maybe he means splitter? I’m not that tech savvy and I’m looking for hdmi HCDP bypass. What device actually does the bypass? Is it the capture card or a splitter and what would be a fairly inexpensive option?
@@retroCombs I am trying to use this box to take a snapshot through a webcam and use the still shots in a still show on the fly as I simulcast ..I hope I explained myself correctly....as my show going on, I will be holding up a card in front of the webcam. I want to take the shot and store it on that device and then add shot through the 30 minutes the show lasts...I am going through OBS..I won't have more than 10 shots that I want to run as I am going thought the show..I will have a box designated for just the still shots
@@greggwieder5119 If I understand correctly, quick question? Could you use the Cloner Box Pro to capture the still images and then use OBS to display them individually instead of a simulcast? Did I understand that correctly? BTW, thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing this use case. I don't use the device to record from Blu Ray or DVD, so am glad you shared your experiences. Comment 📌!
What was the name of the HDMI switcher you use? I assume you got it on Amazon?
ATEM mini: amzn.to/3MAh1i3 for this one. I've since upgraded to the Extreme ISO model: amzn.to/4cTsRyu (#ad)
