Settings for capturing from DV devices

You can change settings for capturing images (e.g., the location to store the captured files, the resolution of the images displayed on the monitor, etc.).

  1. Select "Setting" from the "Edit" menu on the Menu bar.

    The "Setting" dialog box appears.

    The following items are displayed:

    "Location to store files" tab

    • Location to store the captured file: Set the destination folder for saving the files captured from external devices.

    • Location to store the temporary file: Set the destination folder for saving the files temporarily created when the final movie product is exported to an external device.

    • Location to store the recorded file: Set the destination folder for saving the sound files recorded via Microphone, Line In, etc.

    Note

    Be sure to save captured files and temporary files on a drive (e.g., D drive) other than the drive on which the Windows operating system is installed. Otherwise, lost frames may occur while capturing, or frame duplication may occur while exporting files.

    "Capture from DV device" tab

    • File Division during Capture: Click to select this check box to divide files to be saved, at the recording start points, during capturing images from a DV device.

    • Audio output while playing image from external device: Click to select this check box if you do not want to output the sound of the image from the computer while capturing. Note that even if you capture images with this check box selected, sound is still recorded in the captured files.

    • Monitor Display Resolution: Set the screen resolution of the movie file displayed on the Capture tray monitor. Select the resolution (decoding resolution) from "Low Resolution," "Medium Resolution," or "High Resolution." Depending on your computer, this setting may not be available.

    Hint

    If you experience lost frames, select a lower screen resolution.

  2. Click "OK."

    The "Setting" dialog box closes.

  3. Select the "Device" menu from the Menu bar, and then click to select "DV Device."

    Note

    Depending on your computer, the "Device" menu may not be displayed and this step is not necessary.
