• Split by scene: Automatically separates captured video into several files based on
changes in shooting date and time. (This feature can be used only when capturing
video from a DV camcorder.)
• Options: Displays a menu allowing you to modify your capture settings.
• Capture Video: Transfers video from your source to your hard disk.
• Capture Image: Captures the displayed video frame as an image.
• Enable/Disable Audio Preview: Disables audio preview on the computer while
capturing DV or HDV.
If the audio sounds choppy, there may be a problem with previewing audio on your
computer during DV capture. This does not affect the audio capture quality. If this
happens, click Disable Audio Preview to mute the audio while capturing.
Digital Video (DV)
To capture Digital Video (DV) in its native format, select DV from the Format list in
the Options Panel. This saves the captured video as a DV AVI file (.AVI).
DV AVI type-1 and type-2
When capturing DV, click Options in the Options Panel and select Video
Properties to open a menu. In the Current Profile, choose whether to capture DV
as DV type-1 or DV type-2.
DV is a data stream that itself contains video and audio. With DV Type-1, the
video and audio channels are stored unmodified as a single, interleaved stream in
the AVI file. With DV Type-2, the video and audio channels are stored as two
separate streams in the AVI file.
The advantage of Type-1 is that the DV data does not need to be processed, and is
stored in its exact original format. The advantage of Type-2 is that it is compatible
with video software that is not specially written to recognize and process Type-1
files.
Note: You can also use the DV Quick Scan option to capture DV video.
Note: To preview audio on the computer while capturing DV, click Enable Audio
Preview in the Options Panel.
If the audio sounds choppy, there may be a problem with previewing audio on your
computer during DV capture. This does not affect the audio capture quality. If this
happens, click Disable Audio Preview to mute the audio.
