Getting Help

If there are gaps in your analog video tape, MyDVD stops capturing. To continue, start capturing a new clip after the gap. Gaps in video footage are often caused by stops, pauses, static, or unrecorded space in the original recording. They can also be caused by old, damaged, or deteriorated video tapes.

Set your computer monitor’s screen resolution to 1024 x 768 or higher for optimum viewing.

If you are playing your video and it is not appearing on the MyDVD Main project window, make sure MyDVD is capturing from the correct device.

To check your device, go to the Capture Window (as shown in Step 3 of Capturing Your Video) and under Record Settings, click Change. Make sure Adaptec PCI Capture Device is selected.

To avoid choppy video in a captured file, especially a long video clip, disable any scanning background programs such as virus software or any CPU-loaded software.
