ADS DVD Xpress B Driver

- Features

This device uses the popular USB2.0 interface to connect to the PC. There is also backward compatibility with USB1.1, but this is not recommended since data bandwidth is greatly reduced and synchronizing problems might occur. The ADS DVD Xpress uses several new features to improve video quality and performance. Most important are the 'Audio-Lock' technology for perfect lip synch, and temporal and spatial video pre-processing filters that reduce video and audio 'noise' on old VHS tapes and TV signals.

The DVD Xpress can easily convert video from any video source to MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video formats. Video bit-rates vary from 2MB/sec to 15MB/sec, although when the USB1.1 interface is used, video bit-rates can reach up to 6MB/sec. It also supports MPEG-1 Layer 2 compressed audio which it can capture using constant or variable audio/video bit-rates. You can also get a list of 'quick tips' to get you started from here.

- Retail Package

The European retail package contains everything that end users will need to get them started. It includes the DVD Xpress device, the required audio and video cables, one USB2.0 certified cable, power supply and a CD with bundled software. Although the provided cables will do just fine, they are standard quality cables and not high grade cables that would provide better quality and higher video noise reduction.

The User's manual comes in English only and the software included, covers users needs with capturing, authoring and recording. It includes ADS Capture Wizard, an easy to use software to capture your video clips, and Ulead DVD MovieFactory to create professional looking DVDs. MyVee AutoProducer 3 is also included as bonus software to further expand authoring capabilities.

The device comes with a 1 year Warranty.

The front panel of the device looks very attractive, with the 'power' and 'capture' led on one side, and the ADS TECH logo on the other. The device comes in black mirrored cover.

On the rear panel, you will find all the connections on the device. From left to right, you can see the power input, audio and composite video in connectors, S-Video connector and USB connector.

The above label is located on the bottom of the device. You can see that we received a Revision 2 device.

- Installation

Installation was as easy as can be. Device installation was completed successfully with the drivers provided in the root folder of the provided CD. Under Windows XP, the device is recognized as: 'ADS DVD Xpress B'

The following screen is the main screen of the DVD Xpress disc.

The only thing that users should pay attention to is the installation order with the software included. Software should be installed in the following order.

Ulead DVD MovieFactory is in fact the special edition of this program and all necessary plug ins to make the device compatible with this software are included. However, the main difference between the professional edition and this special edition is that MovieFactory 3.0SE does not support the DVD-VR format, although this should not worry most users.

- Testing software/procedure

It should be noted that throughout this review, and especially on zoomed images, by clicking on images, a full sized high resolution picture will be shown for comparison purposes. In general, we were interested in capturing still images, moving pictures and test screens. These test screens are used mostly to investigate the clarity of the external converter. Of course, we used not only light images and scenes, but also darker ones. In any case, the created image files/snapshots are compared with the images included in the 'Plasma TV Demo DVD' provided by Pioneer, without any form of conversion or compression.

We tested the device on several computers, to ensure that the minimum requirements are correct. The device produced audio/video synchronization problems with CPUs running below 800MHz. We also tested the device with several Pentium IV systems, but the results were the same, regardless of CPU speed. We decided to use one of our standard test PCs. The main specifications for this PC are shown below:

Test PC
CPUIntel P4 2.8Ghz Prescott, 1024Kb cache 800FSB
RAMDDR 512/400Mhz
M/BIntel D865GBFL
Graphic Card Ati 9800Pro based graphic display
HDWestern Digital WD 1200JB 7200RPM 8MB cache
