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 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 Capture Video
dialog box opens. The DV device connected to your computer is displayed in the
Source list.
3. Select a Capture mode:
