ADS Technologies today announced a new real-time DVD video capture device, USB Instant DVD, which allows users record home movies in full resolution DVD-quality video. The external USB 1.1 device enables users to transfer videos from any analog or S-VHS source such as VHS tapes, camcorders, or DVD players to a Mac using on-the-fly 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. It includes Pixela Video Editing and DVD - authoring software, all necessary Audio/Video Cables, and a DVD Studio plugin; it is due in October for $450.
