DVD Xpress DX2 analog-to-digital converter

Because there's nothing you'd rather do on the subway than watch your crappy home movies, we give you the DVD Xpress DX2, an analog-to-digital converter box that allows you to turn Junior's four hour Bar Mitzvah vid into iPod- or PSP-friendly MPEGS. The DX2 pulls content from any video source with composite or S-video outs, converts it into MPEG-1/2/4 or DivX, and transfers the digital footage via USB to your hard drive or an optical disc. Included software supposedly ensures perfect audio syncing, and features a wizard for simplifying the whole ripmixburn thing. Now instead of just embarrassing Junior in front of his friends with hilarious anecdotes, you can break out a little Hora-action on your 'Pod and completely pwn his ass (note: the previous parenting tip was brought to you by BloggingBaby). Available in a few weeks for like 176 bucks.
