Capturing MPEG-1 or MPEG-2
Capturing MPEG is one of the most exciting developments in computer
video since DV was introduced. MediaStudio Pro gives you the flexibility to
choose MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, depending on your needs. MPEG-1 is recom-
mended for older computers and for people who want to create VCDs,
while MPEG-2 is more suitable for those with faster computers who
demand excellent quality video in a highly compressed format.
To capture MPEG video:
1. Connect your video device to your capture board.
2. Turn on the device and set it to Play mode (or VTR mode). See your
device's manual for specific instructions.
3. Run Video Capture.
4. From the Setup menu, select Switch Capture Plug-in.
5. Select Ulead MPEG VFW Capture Plug-in (or Ulead MPEG
DirectShow Capture Plug-in) and restart Video Capture.
6. From the Capture menu, select Video.
7. Click the Properties button and choose the type of MPEG you want to
capture.
8. Capture your video as you normally would.
You can also set up the details of the MPEG file to be captured by clicking
Setup: Video Properties. Click the Help button in any of these dialog boxes
for specific information on a particular attribute.
Note: Your video capture board must support RGB or YUV to capture MPEG video
using software compression.
