ADS Tech turns latest version of Instant DVD into a complete solution

Well-known for advancing the standard for USB hardware MPEG encoder devices, ADS Tech has announced the release of Instant DVD 3.0, the latest version of its award-winning USB 2/MPEG2 video production solution.
According to ADS, Instant DVD, a third-generation product, has evolved from being the fastest and easiest way to transfer video taped movies to a CD or DVD disc, to a complete solution for capturing, editing and direct-to-disc burning of both video and audio files.
With the new version, ADS Tech continues the Instant DVD tradition of delivering professional-quality video capture while adding new features and capabilities that reinforce Instant DVD's technology leadership. In addition to being the first USB video capture device to include hardware-based Dolby AC-3 encoding, Instant DVD 3.0 offers many other new features including: Wide Screen Signal detection for 16:9 preview and capture, advanced audio control with record and playback audio level controls, audio-only capture in 'wav' and 'mp3' formats, capture directly from DV camcorders to a DVD disc in real-time, enhanced DV device control (control camcorder play, stop, rewind, FF with CapWiz) and support for DivX video capture.
ADS Tech packs all of these powerful new features and more into a sleek, stackable enclosure about the size of a VHS tape. Easy to install and use, the Plug-and-Play device enables users to quickly connect analogue devices such as a VCR, an analogue camcorder, cassette tape or a tuner (radio) to their PC for downloading video and audio. To ensure the highest-quality video, Instant DVD utilises the latest in video conversion and incorporates filtering technology to reduce noise on old VHS tapes.
It also includes ADS Tech's exclusive 'Audio-Lock' technology to provide perfect lip-sync throughout the capture, edit and disc-burning process.
