What You Can Do with the ConvertX
Uncompressed full-motion video with sound takes as much as one
gigabyte of storage space per minute of video. But with your ConvertX,
you can compress that video so that an entire movie fits onto a DVD—
or even a CD!
The ConvertX PX-M402U Digital Video Converter and the bundled
InterVideo® WinDVD Creator™ 2 software let you:
• Capture: Capture video and sound from analog or digital sources.
• Edit: Modify that video to get just what you want.
• Create: Author compelling DVD projects, complete with titles,
menus, sounds, and music.
• Share: Actually make movies and burn them onto recordable DVD
and CDs or share them over the Internet.
• Direct record: Record video directly to recordable DVD discs in one
step.
In addition, the bundled WinDVD 5 software lets you view your videos
and play video files.
The ConvertX lets you quickly and easily convert analog images on
videotapes into digital video on CDs or DVDs. You can also create new
videos for your CD or DVD player or computer, or webcasts for the
Internet.
Your ConvertX offers MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and DivX
® video
formats, with compression that allows you to store nearly two hours of
digital video on a CD, or up to 10 hours on a DVD. The bundled
WinDVD Creator software guides you through each step of capturing
and editing video, adding effects, and burning the finished product. You
get everything you need for quality digital production—just what you’d
expect from Plextor.
