Capturing Clips
I
A
y Open a text editor and load a formerly saved capture list file.
While the first line is disregarded by the I/O Tool, i.e. it is used only to
designate the different columns for convenience purposes when editing
a file manually, the following lines hold each the data for one clip to be
recorded. The notation for the different fields in the capture list file is
straight forward and easy to learn.
y Alter the text in the capture list file according to your needs.
y Once you are finished, save the file.
y Then, if appropriate, start the I/O Tool again (see section “Starting
the Program” on page 2-4) and switch to the Batch record mode.
y There select from the menu of the button FILE of the tab Capture
in the tool area the menu option Load Capture-List… (see section
“The Tab ’Capture’” on page 5-33).
y In the opening dialog window select the prepared capture list and
load it into the I/O Tool.
The capture list with your alterations will then be available in the cap-
ture list for further processing and you can perform further adjustments
as described in section “Composing a Capture List in the Batch Record
Mode” on page 5-54 or start recording the batch (see section “Record-
ing a Batch” on page 5-57).
5.5.7 Recording a Batch
After preparing a capture list (see section “Preparing a Batch” on
page 5-53) you can start processing it by capturing the listed clips.
There are two ways to capture and record the clips:
– You can capture clips from an external player or
– you can use clips that are already present on a storage (conform-
ing).
Because the capture list file is structured in lines and the differ-
ent fields are separated by tabs, other programs may also be
suited to edit a capture list file manually, for instance, a spread-
sheet or database program.
You can find a detailed description of its format in section
“Specifications of the DVS Capture List File” on page A-6.
