Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plextor DIGITAL VIDEO CONVERTER ( PX-M401U/SW )
Customer Review: I love this hardware!
Summary: 4 Stars
This capture card can be used for anything capture! Capture and record video from cameras, VCRs, TVs, video game consoles, etc! As long as it has AV-inputs, or S Video inputs, you can capture from it!
I purchased this product so that I could capture video game play from my Xbox 360. People looking to do this should be aware that one needs more than this capture card in order to successfully capture game play for editing/creating montages! If you were to only have a capture card, and you plugged your console directly into the capture card, you would not be able to see what you are doing on your TV. You'll be able to see on your computer, but there is about a 1 second delay in movements... What you'll need to solve this is to buy splitters. If you have AV-inputs, you'll need AV (or audio video) splitters so that you could connect the AV to the capture card AND your TV! You should have a total of 3 splitters for Audio(YELLOW), Left(WHITE), and Right(RED) in-puts. For S Video users, just get two audio splitters, and an S Video splitter. [...]
The only negative thing about this product (that made me give it a 4 instead of 5 stars) is the capture/editing program that comes with this product really stinks! It's called WinDVD Creator. Not only does the program crash A LOT when your editing video, but there aren't many video effects to add to your video at all, AND all of the video captured with this program can only be edited by that program only. You can't capture with this program and use something like Windows Movie Maker (WMM) and edit it there, which is much better. You can't even use WMM to capture video with this capture card!
The program that IS good, on the other hand, is Sony Vegas. Not only can you use this capture card to record with it, but the video effects are pretty much endless, and the program does not crash!!! It does cost quite a bit though.
