Plextor LLC has announced a completely redesigned and updated version of the ConvertX Digital Video Converter. The PX-AV200U is not only considerably smaller than previous models, it can be used to convert videos for playback on portable devices like the iPod and PlayStation Portable.

The PX-AV200U is rebuilt from the ground up to deliver a host of new benefits to users. The plastic enclosure case has been replaced by a dongle with connectors for USB 2.0, S-Video In, Video In, and Audio In. It takes up no desk space at all and fits in a shirt pocket for easy portability. In addition to MPEG-1/2/4 video formats, the new ConvertX model supports iPod and PlayStation Portable file formats, enabling videos to be viewed anywhere on portable players. The PX-AV200U runs on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, as well as Windows XP.
The PX-AV200U will be available in May 2007 for a suggested retail price of $69. More information is available on Plextor's website.
