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:
aClick OK to close the error message.
bClick Done to close the Capture window.
cPress the Power on button on your video device.
dClick 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 Windows’ FAT file system, the largest file you
can capture is 4 GigaBytes (GB). If possible, use a NTSF
formatted hard disk drive.
■ If you are capturing video using the Best quality setting and the
image appears choppy in the preview window, make sure your
AVC-2310 is connected to a USB 2.0 port, or capture video using
the Better or Good quality setting.
■ MyDVD may not be able to recognize video from a damaged or
degraded video tape.
