18 ULEAD DVD MOVIEFACTORY USER GUIDE
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 choose which DV Type to use:
1. Select your DV camcorder from the Source list.
2. Click Show/Hide Options to show the capture options.
3. Click Advanced Settings and select Change Capture Plug-in.
Set the capture plug-in to Ulead DirectShow Capture Plug-in.
Click OK.
4. Click Advanced Settings and select DV Type.
5. Choose the DV type to capture. Select DV type-2 to make the
captured video more compatible with other video editing
programs then click OK.
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 DV
device connected to your computer is displayed in the Source
list.
3. Select a Capture mode:
• Fixed duration sets the total duration to be captured.
• Marked duration will show the mark-in and mark-out
timecode control where you can set mark-in and mark-out
point for capturing.
