Viewing the Video Sequences While Capturing Them by Direct Manipulation of the DV Device

You can save video sequences that are captured manually from a DV device.

In this mode, video can be captured from media other than DV tapes* and from a DV camera that is recording.

*With the use of an optional media converter (DVMC-DA1 or DVMC-MS1) connected to the i.LINK connector of your computer, you can capture video from VHS tapes and from a playback of analog tapes on Digital 8 format devices. However, digital output from D-VHS and CS tuners cannot be captured.

Follow the steps below to capture clips:

1. Click [CAPTURE] while in the [IMPORT-Manual] mode.
   
   When you click [CAPTURE] in the Main Window, the [Save as a file] dialog box appears.
   
2. Specify the [Save in:] setting.
   
   Click [Refer to...] to change the location where the file will be saved.
   
3. Specify the file name.
   
   You can only choose [Save to individual files] and [3-digit serial number] when in the [IMPORT-Manual] mode.
   Specify the file name and a 3-digit serial number (001-999) will be appended to the name. If the file exceeds the specified file size or duration, it gets split up into multiple files with consecutive divided numbers.

   Hint

   Clicking [Detail...] opens the [Capture Setting] dialog box where you can confirm or change the file size or duration setting.
