Capturing DV video

DVD MovieFactory allows you to capture digital video with two options: DV Type-1
and DV-Type 2.
DV Type-1 and DV Type-2 captured by FireWire (IEEE-1394 interface card) are
automatically stored as AVI files (when your capture plug-in is DirectShow). An AVI
file usually contains two streams, one video and one audio. DV is a data stream
that itself contains video and audio.
In DV Type-1, the whole DV stream is stored unmodified as one AVI stream. DV
Type-2 splits the DV data into separate audio and video streams.
Capturing DV video as Type-2 gives more compatibility with other applications.
To capture DV video:
1. Connect your camcorder to the IEEE-1394 interface card. Turn it on and set it to
Play (or VTR /VCR) mode.
2. In the Add/Edit Media page, click Capture Video
dialog box opens. The DV device connected to your computer is displayed in the
Source list.
3. Select a Capture mode:
• Fixed duration sets the total duration to be captured.
• Full DV tape captures the whole DV tape from tape start to end.
4. To adjust the capture options, click
• Format allows you to select the file format of the captured video.
• Capture folder shows the path of the folder where captured videos are
saved. Click Browse to select a different folder.
• Advanced Settings lists additional capture settings.
5. Click Play in the Navigation Panel.
6. When you get to the part of the video to record, click Capture Video
Click Stop Capture or press [Esc] to stop capturing. The captured video will be
added to the Captured videos list.
