Hardware Overview
You can connect your camcorder, VCR, or TV to the DVC 150 to capture DVD quality video
to your PC. All you have to do is connect your video source to the DVC 150 and click the
video record button in MovieStar 5. The DVC 150 has an integrated DVD encoder chip,
which automatically converts video in real-time into the DVD format (MPEG-2) before it
lands on your hard disk. This process shrinks the video to about 1/4 of its original size
while retaining DVD quality. You not only save a lot of hard disk space, but since your video
is already in DVD format, you don’t have to convert the video later. The DVC 150 has a Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 interface to the computer, which is about 40 times faster than a USB 1.1
interface. If your computer has a USB 1.1 inter face, you can still use the DVC 150 and it
will be ready for the future when you upgrade your computer.
