The new ConvertX from Plextor is the solution for all of your analog video woes. Have those old tapes of your child or older daughter that you just can't live without? Or the time that Uncle Joe put the lampshade on his head? These memories are what make you you, and wouldn't it be a shame if they disintegrated into demagnetized space? Now Plextor has a solution! Their new ConvertX connects to your VCR or camcorder and then to your computer with USB 2.0. Then the bundled software walks you through the steps to turn your tapes into DVDs or VCDs.

The software also allows you to add special effects, edit out the snapshots of your shoes when you tried to figure out how to use the camera, and create personalized menus. A built-in conversion utility makes it easy to save your clips of your first Christmas or stint as a commercial actor as MPEG-1, 2, 4 and DivX formats. Plug it in, and turn your analog woes to digital wows. Listen in as GPF's Jeremy Smith takes a look at the ConvertX PX-M402U.
