‰ In the Device Control tab, select the Video Source (S-Video or
Composite) you have connected to the ConvertX. You can also
select the Video Standard; set this to match the type of video
that is coming into the ConvertX. (In general, NTSC is the TV
standard used in North America and Japan, while PAL is used in
Europe and South America. SECAM is used in France, Eastern
Europe, and some African nations.)
‰ Use the Video Qualities tab to change the characteristics of the
video you capture. (To begin, you can leave these characteristics
set at their default values, and change them if your video is
consistently too dark, too light, too contrasty, etc.)
4. Press the Record button
on WinDVD Creator’s on-screen control
panel. You see the video in the preview window. In the disk
information area you can see the free and used areas of your hard
disk changing as video is recorded.
IMPORTANT: If you don’t seem to be getting any video in the preview
window, make sure you have used the Device Control tab to select the
same Video Source (S-Video or composite) that matches the physical
connection to the ConvertX.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to launch other applications while capturing.
Video data may be corrupted if CPU usage approaches 100 percent.
5. When you have obtained the desired video, stop the recording by
pressing the Record button again. Recording stops, and you see
your video file in the media library (for video, this is the video
library) located in the bottom-right section of the Capture window.
