Capturing Video - ADS Technologies PTV-305 Software User's Manual

CAPTURING VIDEO

The first thing you'll probably want to do before you make your movie is transfer some video from
your camera (or another video device) to your computer. We've made it easy. We'll start from
square one.
1. Connect your Instant TV Deluxe to the computer.
2. Launch the program. From the welcome wizard, select "Capture or Edit Video."
3. Click "Capture from the Device".
4. From the next screen, select "Capture" in the top left corner of the screen.
5. Under "Video Device" make sure "ADS Instant DVD" is selected as your video source.
6. When you're all set, click the big red Record button beneath the preview window. You can now
define the specifics of your captured file:
• Choose the file name and save location
• Set the file type. If you plan on using the video when you create a DVD, choose the DVD
(MPEG-2) file type.
• You can optionally enter in the capture time. If you have a really long video and only want to
capture a small part, use this option.
• You'll almost definitely want to save your captured file to an album. If you plan on doing any type
of editing, it's going to need to be in an album. You'll learn more about albums in the Edit section.
