Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U Installation and Users Manual

A Word about MPEG-4 and DivX

Together, this version of the ConvertX and WinDVD Creator support
two types of MPEG-4 compression:
• Real-time MPEG-4 compression, with file extension .avi, is

supported by the ConvertX.

• DivX compression, with file extension .avi, is also supported by the

ConvertX.

The ConvertX hardware encoder can capture video and compress it
using MPEG-4 or DivX, saving valuable space on your hard disk. You
can play this MPEG-4 and DivX video and view it on your computer
using the WinDVD 5 player or other software. You can even edit it or
convert it into another format by using WinDVD Creator.

DivX compressed video is a popular format for sharing files on the
Internet. DivX files are playable with Windows Media Player with a
DivX decoder (see http://www.divx.com/) and with other decoders
available on the Internet

Precautions

Like the rest of your computer system, your ConvertX requires
reasonable care in its installation and use.

• Operate your ConvertX only in a horizontal position.

• Keep the area around your ConvertX clean from dust, smoke, and

other contaminants. The unit is not dustproof.

• Do not allow moisture or liquids, including water or cleaning fluids,

to touch the ConvertX. The unit is not waterproof. Furthermore,
thinner, benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar the surface of
your ConvertX.

• Do not drop or jolt the ConvertX.

• Do not attempt to open the ConvertX and service it yourself. Entrust

service to Plextor-authorized service personnel only.
