Seamless DV and MPEG capture
MediaStudio Pro runs on Windows operating systems and is subject to limitations
in file size when capturing or rendering video. Video Capture automatically
performs seamless capture, saving video into a new file every time the
maximum allowable file size for a single video file has been reached.
Seamless capture will be performed only when capturing DV Type-1 or DV Type-2
(from DV camcorder), or when capturing MPEG video (from an HDV/HD camcorder,
DV camcorder or analog capture device). The maximum captured file size per
video file is 4 GB in Windows operating systems (such as Windows 98 SE and Me)
that use the FAT 32 partition file system. Captured video data in excess of 4 GB
are automatically saved to a new file. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP which can
use the NTFS file system, there is no limit in the captured file size.
To enable seamless capture:
1. Select Seamless capture in the Options tab of the Capture Video dialog
box.
2. By default, the maximum file size specified in the Cut file when file size
reaches option is 4 GB. If you want to lower the file size for each video file,
enter the desired file size.
3. Select Cut when scene is detected, then select one of these options:
• Always Cuts the file whenever there is a scene change.
• At first scene after Cuts the file when the captured video file size
exceeds the value entered in the box.
• At file size limitation Cuts the file when the size reaches the value in
the Cut file when file size reaches box.
• At date change Cuts the file whenever the recording date or time
changes.
Seamless capture is not available in VFW (Video For Windows) capture.
