The Pinnacle Video Transfer is one of the best-looking solutions for analogue to digital file conversion we’ve seen in a long time. A pocketable 4.8″ x 2.6″ x 0.9″ device, the Video Transfer converts video from analogue composite and S-Video through the H.264 codec to MPEG4…wait for it…through USB to iPods, PSPs, or flash drives.
Avid Technology announced the latest version of its wildly popular consumer video editing software package, Pinnacle Studio 11, set to ship next month. Now the software is offered in Basic, Plus, and Ultimate versions.
