Chapter 1: The Studio Interface 5
The Diskometer
The Diskometer displays, both numerically and
graphically, the amount of space available on your
capture drive. It also indicates the approximate duration
of video that can be accommodated, which depends on
both the available space and the configured capture
quality. Capture quality settings are selected using the
preset buttons displayed on the Diskometer for some
capture devices, or by entering custom settings. See
Chapter 2: Capturing Video and Appendix A: Setup
Options for information on capture settings.
The Start Capture/Stop Capture button on the
Diskometer begins and ends the capture process. The
default location for captured video is:
C:\My Documents\Pinnacle Studio\Captured Video
To save newly captured videos to a different location,
click the file folder button to display the Browse for
Folder window. The folder you assign will be used to
store captured video during the current and future
sessions.
