The plastic enclosure case has been replaced by a dongle with connectors for USB 2.0, S-Video In, Video In, and Audio In. It takes up no desk space at all and fits in a shirt pocket for easy portability. In addition to MPEG-1/2/4 video formats, the new ConvertX model supports iPod® and PlayStation® Portable file formats, enabling videos to be viewed anywhere on portable players.

    Well it used to be compatible since around march 15 2008, but after some vista updates (maybe SP1), it causes blue screen crashes (memory dump etc.)

    It would be nice if Plextor website was better organised as well to check for upgrades…(after checking, there is none)

    The same thing happened to me with Plextor’s PX-AV200u video-capture device. It worked fine with my 32-bit Vista Home Premium, until I installed SP1. Then I got the blue screen of death. I see a similar review on Amazon.com. The company’s tech support is unhelpful, but offered to replace the unit. I am certain that won’t work. (When I briefly uninstalled SP1, I was again able to use the thing.) It’s a software or firmware problem.
