PX-TV402U
Build
your own PVR, December 2004,
When it comes
to video quality, the ConvertX PVR offers a great variety of options.
There are eighteen available recording quality profiles. Included
in these are the standard MPEG-2 DVD formats such as standard
play, high quality, medium quality, and so on. In addition to
this, you can choose to record in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and
(drum roll please) DivX®.

All in all I am very pleased with the Plextor, its been nice to
have a 2nd tuner and not use up a PCI slot, plus the ability to
do hardware DivX encoding is awesome!

The interface is so simple, it makes a great way to watch and
archive television on your computer, with barely any learning
curve. Needless to say, the Plextor ConvertX TV-402U is highly
recommended, and would make a great stocking stuffer.

Plextor just does things right with the overall design of the
box, it's easy of use, and the addition of DivX only sweetens
the deal.

If you want to start putting those aging VHS onto DVD, or do any
other capturing, I could easily recommend the PX-AV100U to those
on a budget. It does take a heftier computer to run it as opposed
to Plextor's hardware-based PX-M401U and PX-M402U, but if you've
got the system, I'd save some money and purchase the AV100U.

Being the leading company providing quality disk burners whether
its CD-ROM, DVD, or even Software, Plextor is a name we have all
come to know and trust as far as the best you can buy. Of course
Plextor products do come at a price, but perhaps that's of no
concern when you have the ultimate guarantee of getting the best
there is. Having a Plextor product is a sign of prestige. Burners,
software packages, or even what we have on the bench today, a
digital video converter, the edge that Plextor products have and
have always had, is that they never fail to deliver exactly what
you buy them for. For some that can be a hard concept, but from
our experience, we have never had a single Frisbee from a single
one of our previous Plextor reviews. Today at ClubOC we will push
our CD and DVD burners to the side and focus on the digital video
converter offerings from this fabulous company.

Video quality and sound quality was good in some cases, and excellent
in others. This means that, in general, the device can produce
very good quality video files. Sound conversion was as good as
video conversion.

The whole point of the Plextor ConvertX is to
allow the user easy and simple video conversion. It will literally
save you hours and hours of encoding time, since it encodes the
video file as it captures.

There's plenty of reason to like the Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U
video-capture module. This flexible USB 2.0 device can capture
almost any flavor of analog video and store it as MPEG-1, MPEG-2,
MPEG-4, or even DivX AVI files. It handled our most challenging
test footage with aplomb, and its picture quality was excellent
for a mid-priced device.

The ConvertX was a bold move for Plextor, but I think it’s
a move that will pay off. The quality of the product lives up
to Plextor’s reputation in terms of usability and performance.

I
was able to save 4 hours without incident. I was impressed with
the quality but could only view it with my laptop and computer,
since there are only a handful of DivX players on the market.

While I am by no means a professional video editing guru, I did
find that the Plextor ConvertX Digital Video Converter lived up
to its claim of allowing you to easily capture, edit, share, and
make movies. The user manual provided with the product was educational
in itself with respect to basic video editing techniques and resulted
in a most pleasurable experience. I would rate this product a
9 out of 10.

Plextor has come out on top with both the PX-712A and
the newly awaited PX-712SA Serial ATA models, with performance
at a premium level both drives are at the top of their class

Plextor has
the fastest and most feature packed DVD burner on the market with
the PX-712A.

I believe that
Plextor strives to deliver great performance and great features
in its optical drives, and the PX-712A is their current flagship
product that does just that. This is one of the all-round fastest
drives available on the market today.

Plextor has
delivered. In the race for faster drives, they are the first to
market with a 12x DVD±RW.
The question
that remains is, 'Could I recommend this drive?' Absolutely. Previous
drives from Plextor were equally worthy, and with the inclusion
of PlexTools Pro, and all the features that go along with it -
it's an incredible product. I had always thought there would be
no replacing my Plexwriter Premium, but now that this drive carries
the abilities of the Premium, I'm not so sure. It is worth considering
as the only optical drive you would ever need. Fast, quiet, accurate,
reliable - really.

Its Digital Extraction speed is great for those wanting to archive
their CD collection into Mp3s and provides excellent audio fidelity.
Both DVD and CD read speeds are very fast, making the overall
drive a great package.
Plextor has pulled out all the stops on this one,
kept its industry-leading position, by being the first to introduce
a SATA interface.

As for quality and long term use, I've gone through more than
a dozen burners over the years and only Plextor has stood the
test of time and daily abuse. All other brands that I've used
have seldom lasted more than a year while the Plextor drives and
burners keep on going.

If you are looking for a great looking, great performing 12X External
DVD writer with excellent features; bundled with proprietary and
power user friendly software and the additional bonus of PlexTools,
we highly suggest you put the PX-712UF External drive at the top
of your list.

"Plextor has once again outdone themselves and I am more
than impressed for the third time. The abilities of this drive
far surpass that of any other that I have used..."

This is the best drive I have ever seen, and best of all it is
by Plextor. As I said before in my previous Plextor review, they
are known for quality hardware.

that is a perfect complement to their series of DVD±RW
drives by adding all the performance and features of the PX-708A
