5. Type in a name for your source video. You can
optionally also enter a limiting duration for the
capture.
(If you are making multiple DV captures in
preview quality from the same tape, using the file
naming convention suggested under “DV Capture”
on page 32 will help streamline the Make Movie
process later on).
Note: Windows 98 and Millennium have file size
limitations. For FAT16 disks the limit is 2 GB. For
FAT32 disks the limit is 4GB. Studio estimates the
duration of video of the desired quality that the
largest allowable file can accommodate, and
displays this as the maximum duration for the
capture.
6. If you are capturing from an analogue camcorder or
VCR, start playback now. This step is unnecessary
with a digital-source capture, as Studio will control
the playback equipment automatically.
7. Click the Start Capture button in the Capture Video
dialog box. The button caption changes to Stop
Capture.
Capture begins. The Player displays the incoming
digitised video that is being saved to your hard
drive (unless you have unchecked Capture preview
on the Capture source options panel).
During capture, Studio performs automatic scene
detection based on the current setting in the
Capture source options panel.
8. Click the Stop Capture button to end capture at a
point you select.
Studio automatically stops capturing if your hard
drive fills up or the maximum duration you entered
is reached.
