Need Help Capturing Your Video?
■ If your analog video device, such as a VCR or camcorder, is not
powered on, after about 1 minute, you will get an error
message.
To allow MyDVD to recognize and capture the video:
a Click OK to close the error message.
b Click Done to close the Capture window.
c Press the Power on button on your video device.
d Click Capture.
■ For optimum quality when creating DVDs, use the Best setting
(in the MyDVD Capture window) when capturing video clips.
However, if you have limited disk space, Adaptec recommends
that you choose the Better or Good capture setting. Use this
table to estimate the amount of disk space required:
Note: Due to Microsoft Windows FAT file system
limitations, the maximum file size you can use is 4
Gigabytes (GB). If possible, use NTSF formatted hard disk.
■ If you are capturing video using the Best quality setting and see
choppy images on the preview window, make sure you’re
connected to a USB 2.0 port, because Best quality capturing may
exceed the bandwidth of USB 1.1.
■ MyDVD may not be able to recognize footage from a damaged
or degraded video tape.
