About Maximum Recording Time (MRT)
The MRT displays how many hours of video recording are available on your computer's hard
drive.
If your hard drive’s space exceeds this amount, MRT will not change unless hard drive
space falls below the 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds mark.
If the MRT indicates less than 1 hour of recording time available, it may be time to backup or
remove some files from your hard drive.
Tip: Because video files can consume large quantities of hard drive space, it is
recommended that you check your Output Folder (see page 33
– Record Settings)
from time to time for any previous video recordings that can be permanently
deleted.
About Project Files
The VHS to DVD program can save your current progress as a project file. The file can be
identified by the .ilj extension at the end of the file name. The “.ilj” project file does not contain
any actual video, but instead, serves as a reference file for the VHS to DVD program. When
opened, it tells the program where to find and load all the necessary video clips and edits
associated with that specific project.
Converting PAL /NTSC (and other video standards)
The VHS to DVD software is capable of recording NTSC, PAL, and many other video tape
standards from around the world. It is possible, however, that your computer system may not
correctly recognize the video signal from a tape made in a foreign country. In this case you
would typically experience black and white video.
There are two video standard adjustments that may need to be made to enable your computer
and the program to recognize the foreign video tape in color:
First Adjustment:
Change Video Standard (VHS to DVD)
– select the Options control panel button from the
Captu re screen and click the ‘Settings’ button next to the Video Device listing.
