If there are large gaps in your analog video tape of about 5 
minutes, MyDVD stops capturing. To continue, forward to a 
new clip and start capturing. Gaps in video footage are often 
caused by stops, pauses, static, or unrecorded space in the 
original recording. They can also be caused by old, damaged, or 
deteriorated video tapes.

Set your computer monitor’s screen resolution to 1024 x 768 or 
higher for optimum viewing. 

If you are playing your video and it is not appearing on the 
MyDVD Main project window, make sure MyDVD is capturing 
from the correct device. To check your device, go to the Capture 
Window (as shown in 

Step 3

 of 

Capture Your Video

) and under 

Record Settings, click Change. Make sure Adaptec USB 
Capture Device

 is selected.

To avoid choppy video in a captured file, especially a long video 
clip, users should disable any background programs such as 
virus software or any CPU-loaded software.

Need Help Burning Your Video?

In rare instances, while burning your video to DVD, an error 
message may appear, such as bit rate too high. If this happens, 
double-click the thumbnail in MyDVD’s Main project window. 
Select the End Frame on the Trimming window and remove 
about 5 to 10 seconds of video from the end. Close the 
Trimming window, save the project and try again. If the 
message persists, open the Trimming window again and check 
the video for static. If the static exists on the video, trim back to 
a point on the video where static does not exist.
