Customer Reviews

No worries...
I owned the previous model of InstantDVD, had little problem with it for four years until it died (probably due to the fact that I kept it plugged in even when I wasn't using it - a mistake I won't make again), and bought the DVDXPress DX2 with the hope that it would perform just as well.

I wasn't disappointed.

It worked straight out of the box, the drivers installed without difficulty (I'm using XP Pro), and I didn't have any of the AV sync problems that other reviewers spoke of (although, truthfully, if the issue comes up, it isn't any problem to fix it in Pinnacle Studio, which I use to master DVDs). I'd recommend this product highly.

Do not buy this company's products
Would strongly recommend against supporting ADS Tech with your business. I had the misfortune of buying the precedessor to this product (the Video Xpress) a couple years back, and upon my upgrade to Vista the product stopped working. Contacting their Tech Support (which was very good actually -- responsive), they quite politely told me that my product was not and would not ever be supported with Vista and that I could buy their new product. Yeah, right. Never had a vendor just completely back away from supporting their products and customers like these guys. Have older things than this that work fine with Vista because I bought those things from reputable companies that stand behind what they sell.

Buyer beware with ADStech -- support isn't there; go elsewhere for your video capture needs, or else you will get to buy their garbage again next year when they stop supporting what you just bought!

Don't buy if you have VISTA
Drivers on disk don't work with VISTA. Drivers on ADS website for VISTA don't work. Don't buy this unless you are running XP. Some people have reported that it works on their VISTA machine, but don't take that chance. At least one person got his DVD driver wiped out, so he couldn't reinstall VISTA or its drivers from the drive because the driver for it was hosed!
