BIOS: Technology Means Business

AVerMedia has announced the launch of the DVD EZ Maker USB Plus, a low-cost (£49.99) device that allows you to capture memories in digital format to ensure they last forever (well, as long your HDD doesn’t fail - Ed!

If you think that your memories are safe forever, think again! Depending on how and where tapes are stored, the number of times they’re viewed and the quality of the tape itself, permanent noticeable deterioration of video tape can begin to set in within 5 years - even if the tape isn’t used much.

Loss of colour, static sound or complete tape degradation and failure can occur leaving no reminder of those precious moments; a wedding, birthday or other momentous milestone.

The DVD EZ Maker USB Plus is a ‘complete’ device that easily turns those magical moments caught in analogue format into digital and preserves them forever by burning to DVD or VCD.

The DVD EZ Maker USB Plus promises to be very easy to use. Via a plug-and-play USB interface and one step installation, the capture card connects to any laptop or desktop PC as well as home video devices such as DV, V8, VHS, DVD or VCD players and transforms analogue recordings into digital and then records them onto a hard disk drive.

The capture card also provides a ‘direct to disk’ function that allows you to record directly from a DV camcorder to DVD without writing to a HDD first and an Auto Calculate feature ensures the highest possible production quality for the available disk space.

With just one click of a button you can simultaneously capture and record analogue video to VCD, SVCD or DVD, the bundled software even supports DVD-VR formats so that you can re-edit previously recorded video and re-record onto the same DVD.

As well as transforming old analogue video into digital, the interface included with the DVD EZ Maker USB Plus encourages you to become budding film makers and create your own personal movies. Arrange, sequence and add/delete video clips on a storyboard, use a wide selection of editing features to deliver scene transitions, adjust brightness and colour, create chapters, as well as add text effects with a text overlay feature. You can even insert audio overlay (MP3/WAV) and edit further with a noise reduction feature.
