Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
ConvertX offers the unique choice of three encoding formats: MPEG-1, for recording one hour of premier quality video on a VCD; MPEG-2, for up to two hours of high quality video on a DVD; and, for exceptional hard disc space-savings, MPEG-4. Capable of creating highly compressed video archives, MPEG-4 can be used to store 100 minutes of video on a standard CD or 10 hours on a DVD. A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection maximizes data throughput to the host computer, enabling high bit rate video capture using MPEG-2 compression.

2 out of 5 stars Never Worked   January 22, 2008
Aaron Yates (Texas, USA)
I bought this to use as a capture device for my laptop, and I never got it to work at all. I used several different computers and installed the drivers and software several times only to be frustrated every time. br / br /The device really urges you to use the software that comes with it, but I would prefer using my own version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. Of course the Plextor would not work with either its own software or mine. br / br /Since I had purchased it a while back and hadn't gotten around to using it for some time, I didn't bother to return it, so I can't comment on the customer service of Plextor.

a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/RIUGAXEU1ZMCF"Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RIUGAXEU1ZMCF/a The Plextor ConvertX looks, work, and is great. I take a more in-depth look at the Plextor ConvertX Digital Video Converter. The video was captured with the ConvertX and edited in Vegas Movie Studio 6.


3 out of 5 stars No Vista   May 19, 2007

I e-mailed Plextor a couple of weeks ago trying to find out if this unit will work with VISTA. They just told me NO, and suggested their PX-AV200U. I was looking forward to a more higher end DVC from them since I own several of their DVD drives for my computers. :-( Guess I will shop around...Terry, Hayward, CA


5 out of 5 stars Does what it promises   May 14, 2007

Plextor always has great products. I was able to install and use right away. Moved old VHS family video to DVD with no problems at all. The software it comes with is decent. I found Roxio Easy Media Creator works well with it although 8 better than 9 at this point. 9 had issues with gaps between videos that caused it to crash. So if you have 9 just use the software it came with to import the videos and Roxio is still great at editing and adding extras.

I had been wondering I if ever would be able to digitilize tens of videotapes I have of my children. br / br /The Plexto ConvertX makes it possible in an easy way.
