scenes as separate video files and imports each of them into the program.

Automatic Batch Capture

If you want CyberLink PowerDirector to auto capture and import each of the

intervals/scenes on your DV camcorder, click the button on the DV

Camcorder tab.

An interval/scene is the content you recorded each time you pressed record and

then stop during the video shooting process. For help on using this function, use

the tips on the user interface.

Manual Batch Capture

Using manual batch capture* gives you more control over the capturing process

and ensures that the scenes you want to include are captured. Manual batch

capture is recommended when you know which scenes you want to capture and

have a good idea where they are located on the tape.

Click the button to access the manual batch capture feature. For help on

using this function, use the helpful tips on the user interface.

Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table for

detailed versioning information.

Capturing from an HDV Camcorder

You can capture video footage you shot with an HDV* camcorder. Use the

capture from an HDV camcorder option only if your camcorder connects to your

computer using an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable. To a capture scene from your HDV

camcorder, use the capture player controls (record, stop, fast forward, rewind, etc.)

underneath the capture preview window.

If your HDV camcorder connects to your computer via a USB connection, just

import the video files directly from your camcorder, as if it was another hard drive

on your computer. See Importing Media for information on importing video files

from your computer.

Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table for

detailed versioning information.
