 Good device, but must have some patience to get it to work. June 27, 2007

I had reservations about buying this item especially after I had a chance
to use a DVD burner/video recorder from Sony. But the price was a big
consideration here.
I'll say right away that I have no regrets about getting Plextor's ConvertX PX-AV100U. The item does the job but you have to have patience to overcome some minor difficulties. I'll also say that my primary reason to buy this product was so that I can convert some of my PAL/NTSC VHS tapes to DVD.
Here is the list of what I had to deal with before I worked out the
"process" that works well.
The setup of the driver, software (ULead Editing software only), and
hooking things up went without any difficulties. The problems began when I
wanted to run the software. After the launch the program would just simply
hang and I had to do a "hard reboot" (pressing and holding the power
button). Then it occurred to me that Plextor's item was conflicting with
the video camera that I previously installed on my computer. Once I
unhooked the video camera and restarted my computer, the ULead software began to work. Then, once
inside ULead I needed to play with "Options" to get the video and sound
capturing going from my VCR.
Once I had all that worked out the only proper way to begin your project is as follows:
1. Make sure you unhook any video cameras (this usually involves just
unplugging the USB cord from computer)
2. Make sure your recorder is plugged in and boot your computer
3. Before you launch ULead, press "Play" button on a VCR (I believe this
helps to push a signal that allows ULead to recognize that a project is
about to begin. For some reason it would not work if did not press Play on
the VCR).
4. When software starts, play with the "Options" and some settings to get the video and sound streaming from your VCR.
What I also found interesting is that my computer does not need any reboot
after I finish a project. I recall that when I worked with WinDVD Creator I ALWAYS had to reboot after couple of hours of work.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

The actual unit itself is really really great, but the included SageTV Lite software is not very stable. Seemingly at random, it will just stop recording right in the middle of a show, usually after I've had it running for a day or so. I highly recommend this product, but the Java-based software should be restarted daily if you want to have reliable recording.
