Compression Options
The ConvertX supports real-time MPEG-4 (ISO) compression in
hardware for incoming video. Although information compressed with
MPEG-4 compression is not editable, and you cannot convert it into
another format, you can view these files. Just capture files with MPEG-4
compression, then view the files using the WinDVD 4 player that’s part
of your ConvertX software bundle.
How much can you fit on a DVD or CD? Storage rates vary based on the
