Plextor® ConvertX™ PX-AV100 Capture Video At Highest Possible Quality
The
Plextor® ConvertX™ PX-AV100U makes it fast and easy for users to connect a camcorder,
VCR, TV or DVD player to start working with video on a PC. The PX-AV100U captures
full quality, full screen video, perfect for making DVDs and Video CDs. The PX-AV100U
has a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface which means you can capture video at the highest
quality possible. InterVideo® WinDVD Creator™ software is supplied to edit your
video, make interactive DVDs and to convert video to DivX® video to share on the
internet.
Your ConvertX, using the bundled Intervideo WinDVD Creator software, can capture
video directly into both the MPEG-1 (Video CD) and MPEG-2 (DVD video) formats.
These video formats allow you to store an hour of digital video on a CD, or
2 hours on a DVD. The software guides you through each step of capturing and
editing video, adding effects, and creating a polished video production. You
can either burn your video to CD or DVD or convert it into the highly compressed
DivX format for sharing on the Internet. You get everything you need for quality
digital production—just what you’d expect from Plextor.
One click is all it takes to pull in video from a camcorder or another analog
source. You can create CDs or DVDs without spending all day learning complicated
programs. WinDVD Creator's storyboard interface makes the entire DVD-making
process as easy as moving pictures around on a computer screen. Create a CD
or DVD in five easy steps: capture, edit, author, share and record directly.

This digital video converter did just that! Installed easily, I hooked up my old 40 pound video camera, and was able to record directly to dvd. It works great, and simply. The quality of the dvd looks great on my pc, and on my 32 inch tv. I have not used any of the editing features yet. My goal is to copy all my vhs tapes of my family to dvd. I have a HP Pavillion a1357c with AMD Athlon 4200+ 64x2 dual core proc, with 1gig memory.

One word: Stellar
The software for recording off the VCR is very friendly. Converting old VHS tapes has been a breeze. I use NERO for chopping the movies after the Plextor converts them to MPG's. I found Plextor's software for editing and making the dvd's a little clunky. I wanted more power to customize, which NERO has. But this Plextor converter has been worth every penny. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great product for the price. A tip, before you do a capture (or burn for that matter), make sure to disable all internet connections (broadband) and any Antivirus. I had jerky video until I did that. But great captures everytime since.
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
Take
Your Home Movies Into The New Millennium With Video Capture!
Now we have DVD players, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), camera cellular
phones that record still and video images, home and office survelience cameras
and the list continues to grow. But with so many types of video recording
devices, how can we save it so that it isn't damaged, lost or simply fades
away?
