PowerHouse Technologies was on hand to show
its line of Migo portable productivity devices. The
newly introduced Migo line starts at the device’s

PLEXTOR
Plextor, a leading developer and manufacturer of
high-performance digital media equipment, an-
nounced the next generation of the ConvertX Digi-
tal Video Converter, a real-time hardware digital
video converter and editing device for personal
computers. The Model PX-M402U now supports
hardware DivX encoding, converting video to DivX

well as allow users to store up to 10 hours of video
on recordable DVD discs.
The new ConvertX also allows users to edit MPEG-
4 and DivX video content, making it faster and eas-
ier for users to cut unwanted scenes and add titles,
transitions, and special effects. Other new features
include DVD VR and Edit-on-Disc, allowing users
to capture and burn video directly to writable DVD
discs and then edit the content right off the disc it-
self. Users can edit the interactive menus, change
backgrounds, and add or delete video from the
disc.
ConvertX Digital Video Converter allows users to
capture video to their computer for editing, storing,
and sharing. Users simply connect a video
source—such as an analog or digital camcorder,
DVD player, VCR, or television—to one of Con-

posite Audio/Video Input, S-Video Input. ConvertX
automatically converts the analog video into a digi-
tal format for editing, authoring, and recording on
media. Video capture formats include MPEG-1
