Software Update: PlexTools Professional XL 3.00

Plextor has released a new version of PlexTools Professional for the more demanding user. The name designation has been changed to PlexTools Professional XL with 3.00 as the version number. This program can only be used in combination with a Plextor CD or DVD burner and allows you to rip CDs, copy discs and display information about the writable discs. The improved points look like this:

PlexTools Professional XL 3.00:

• The GUI of PlexTools Professional XL consists of 3 independent windows:
• The device window contains the hardware device tree of the PC.
• The functions window shows all available functions for information of the drive or disc, the players and recording modules and the test functions.
• Main window, where all devices and functions can be selected, will show the information and test results.

All 3 windows can be repositioned and resized independently.

• The test functions have been updated with new, stylish graphical displays.
• In order to facilitate the update process, PlexTools Professional XL has an option that allows the program to automatically check the drives’ firmware for the latest version and update immediately if necessary. An internet connection to the PlexTools website is used for this function. No information besides the drive and firmware version is exchanged and the function can be disabled at any time.
• Both the AudioCDMaker and Disc Extraction functions have been expanded with CueSheet support and extra options.
• The Disc Maker function has the option to load and save projects and a new DVD-Video project has been added that allows burning an existing DVD-Video image to disc.
• Several smaller changes and options have been added and are planned for the future releases.
