While DVD creation was once limited to the latest model Power Mac
G4’s with Apple SuperDrive and iDVD software, USB Instant DVD for Macs
provides similar features and benefits to older Power Mac G3’s and G4’s. Now
Power Mac G3 and G4 users can quickly and easily record their home movies in full resolution
DVD-quality video, then author on DVD or CD recordable discs to share with
family and friends.
The external USB 1.1 device enables even inexperienced users
to easily transfer videos from any analog or S-VHS source such as VHS tapes,
camcorders, or DVD players to their Mac. USB Instant DVD for Macs utilizes
hardware-based MPEG-2 compression (the same format used in DVD movies) for
smooth video at full 720 X 480 NTSC (720 X 576 PAL) resolution and stereo sound.
Because the MPEG-2 encoding is done on the fly, render time is eliminated and
the process can be done in a relatively short amount of time.
The captured video can be trimmed, authored and burned to a *CD or DVD
recordable disk with bundled software from Pixela. The software bundle also
includes a plug-in for DVD Studio Pro.
