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 . The Capture Video dialog box opens. The DV device connected to your computer is displayed in the Source list.

3.Select a Capture mode:

4.To adjust the capture options, click .

•Format allows you to select the file format of the captured video.

5.Click Play in the Navigation Panel.
