Capture
The process of transferring video from your camcorder or other video
sources to your computer is called capturing. When everything is ready
to go, the video feed from your source device should be visible in
the Preview Window. If your card supports a television monitor, you
should also be able to watch your video on it.
Once launched, VideoStudio immediately detects the capture
settings. If no capture driver is present, you will be led to the Edit
step automatically. You need not switch from capture mode to
playback mode anymore.

Checklist for successful video capture

Capturing video is one of the most demanding tasks you will ever ask
of your computer. It involves high data rates and requires huge
amounts of disk space. Here are a few things you can do to ensure
success:
• Shut down ALL other programs that are running except Windows
Explorer and VideoStudio. Remove the Screen Saver to avoid possible
interruption.
• Best results can be achieved by using a dedicated video hard disk,
preferably with the capabilities of at least Ultra-DMA/66, 7200 rpm and
more than 30GB space.
• For better manipulation of batch capture and camcorder device control,
correct timecode on the DV tape is a must. To do this, before shooting
your video, use the standard playback (SP) mode and shoot a blank
video (for example, leaving the lens cover on while recording) without
interruption from start to end of a tape.
