Specifying your video capture settings

Matrox MXO2 lets you capture your video to MPEG-2 I-frame or an
uncompressed format, depending on your sequence's video format. For example,
if you're working with an SD sequence (such as NTSC), you can capture to
MPEG-2 I-frame format to create .avi files for use in your Premiere Pro projects.
For certain HD sequences, you can also capture DVCPRO HD material natively
over the DV-1394 interface to an .avi file.
When working with an SD sequence, you can choose to capture video to an .m2v
file for DVD authoring using Adobe Encore. For details about specific limitations
when capturing to Matrox .m2v files, see
