What can I do with Video Advantage USB?
Whether you're archiving home movies, creating DVDs from your digital
camcorder tapes, making videos for the web or capturing high-quality video 
for use with professional editing software, Video Advantage USB handles it
all. Here are some of the things you can do with this versatile video editing
system: 

Preserve your Analog Video Tapes: 
  The image quality of analog tape will not last forever. Over time it will
  gradually degrade and the colors will start to fade, blend together, blur,
  etc. Converting your analog tapes to digital format gives you video that 
  will last a lot longer than tape, can be easily duplicated with no quality
  loss, and delivered in a number of different ways. 
 
Create a DVD Movie: 
  Once you have a library of digital videos, either from capturing analog 
  video or transferring digital video from a DV camcorder, you can incorporate
  the clips into a movie. PowerDirector lets you edit, produce and burn movies
  to DVD, VCD and SVCD for viewing in your DVD player. If you do not want to 
  make an elaborate movie production with PowerDirector, you can use Power
  Producer Express to make quick DVDs of your video clips with simple menus. 
 
Create Photo Slide Shows: 
  PowerDirector and PowerProducer Express let you create slide shows of your
  digital photos for viewing on CD or DVD. You can also take snapshots from 
  your video clips using PowerDirector and incorporate them into your slide 
  shows along with your other pictures. 
 
Create Videos for the Web or E-Mail: 
  Movies created in PowerDirector can be saved in Windows Media(R) and 
  RealMedia(R) formats for streaming video on the web. Use this feature to 
  create compact videos for web sites, or for sending videos via e-mail. 
 
Transfer video from your PC to Digital Camcorder Tape: 
  PowerProducer Express lets you transfer video clips and movies to the DV 
  tape in your digital camcorder via the 1394 connection. This is a quick way
  to archive the video and save hard disk space for editing. 
 
Burn a DVD directly from Digital Camcorder Tape: 
  To make a quick copy or backup of movies on DV tape, use PowerProducer 
  Express to transfer the DV video directly to DVD in one step, without having
  to transfer the DV file to the hard drive. It's a great way to make copies 
  for your family and friends without having to take the time to product a 
  movie or slideshow. 
 
Capture a Long Video and Split it into Smaller Clips: 
  PowerDirector's batch capture and scene detect features let you split long
  videos into smaller that are more manageable and easier to incorporate into
  movie timelines. 
 
Create Animated Videos: 
  The photo slideshow concept can be used to create animation movies. 
  Connecting your DV or analog camera to AD FullCap allows you to use the 
  snapshot feature to take photos that are saved directly to the hard drive.
  This makes a great animation interface for creating sequential shots that 
  can be place in the PowerDirector timeline to create an animated movie. 
 
Enhance Movies with Music and Sound Effects: 
  The sound clip library included on the Video Advantage CD can be used to
  enhance your videos with sound effects. With AudioSurgeon, you can also 
  record and edit sounds that can be dropped into your video using 
  PowerDirector's timeline interface.
