Plextor ConvertX - Real-time MPEG-1,2 & 4 video compression

Wow! Finally something that works for every format. Can't wait to buy this. Tribal-T

Me either. Let nme know when its for sale.

So, MPEG4. That includes DivX right?

The Plextor ConvertX is scheduled for shipment to distributors and resellers in June 2003 with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $179.00 USD. All product packages include unlimited toll-free technical support and one-year full warranty. Reservations for ConvertX are now being accepted at http://www.plextorshop.com. ------------------------------------------- NICE PRICE !: )

The price of a XBOX? Not bad.

Herbs, are you going to get it?

well it is a usb device which i have tryed from dazzel,adaptec,and ads on my system the ata 100 card and the usb share irq 10 and unless you make a different hardware profile the conflicts between soundcard harddrive and usb will just end up driveing you nuts it seams to be like all the others with mpeg 4 added all the hardware encoders need a lot of cpu to run at full res

smg: Maybe not straight away but I'd be tempted after reading some recommendations (as long as they're good of course).

Now I'll have to study MPEG. I wonder how it will be at geting rid of copyright.

it wont you have to find your own way around that tommays

knew it was too good to be true for someone with very very limited knowledge

I have the ConvertX and although its a pretty good capture device, the bundled software WinDVD Creator2 sucks. Unfortunately, that's the only software that supports the ConvertX so if you buy this thing, you're stuck with crappy software. Better off converting it to AVI and then using another app to make your DVD's with.

whoa !! Blast from the past... : ]-~

as you can probably guess. Not only am I a newbie, but I just bought this albatross of a capture device. I also just purchased the ADVC100 as well so all is not lost. Just a very expensive lesson in patience. 8)
