Recording
MAGIX Video Pro X2 provides the following recording options:
•

• HDV cameras: HDV1 and HDV2 camcorders

•

Analog capture requires capture cards compatible with DirectShow. DV capture can be
performed through an OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 host adapter (FireWire or iLink). A TV
card can be used to record programs from TV or from your video recorder.
There is no limit to the length of your recordings. Now you may record video as long as
there is available space on your hard drive. Using real-time compression during capture
creates smaller file sizes and more available space.
Import/Export file formats

MPEG-1 and 2 (*.mpg,*.mp2,*.MPEG), QuickTime (*.mov), MAGIX video (*.mxv), Windows
