CAPTURING VIDEO FROM CAMCORDERS OR OTHER SOURCES When capturing video from a digital camcorder (or other composite video source), follow these steps. 1. Be sure your VCR 2 PC is connected to your computer's USB port (a rear USB port, preferably). Use an appropriate cable to connect your camcorder to the VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN (RCA) ports on VCR 2 PC's front panel.

SYNCING TO iPod You can send your videos to your iPod by "syncing" them to it. "Syncing" is a process by which iTunes copies files your (connected) iPod's library to make it identical to its own. Follow these steps: 1. From the home page, click To Go. 2. From the list of devices, click iPod. 3. In this window, you can select whether you want to Automatically Sync or Manually Sync your iPod with your computer's files.
