Requirements for Capturing Video
You can copy (capture) video files to your hard disk

Among the devices supported by WinDVD Creator
are capture cards, digital camcorders, and Web
cameras. Use the capture card to capture video
from a TV, a VCR, or an analog video camera.
To capture video files, you need to:
■ Connect your digital video capture device
properly.
■ Turn your device on and set it to
playback mode.
■ Make sure the program you want to use can
detect your digital or analog device.
If your PC has multiple video devices connected,
they all appear on the Capture screen. Select the
video source you would like to use.

You may need to turn
your device off and
on again for the
program to detect it.
