Capturing analog video
Although Digital Video has been with us for quite some time now, the bulk of
movies made since the invention of motion pictures remains in analog format. Your
personal library may consist of a number of VCRs, VHS, Video 8s and 8-mm films.
However, they do not have to be left out in the DV revolution. All you need to do is
convert these tapes and reels to DV by capturing them into your computer.
To connect an analog device to your computer:
1. Connect your camcorder, VCR, or other video source to your analog capture
card. (Check your capture card’s manual for specific instructions.)
Note: Also check if connecting the audio cables to the sound card is necessary.
2. Insert your videotape into the video source and turn it on. Make sure it is in
Play ( VCR / VTR ) mode. (Check the machine’s manual for specific instructions.)
3. Go to the Capture Step and check if your device is displayed in the Options
Panel under Source .
Note: If your capture device supports multiple video sources, click Options in
the Options Panel then select Video and Audio Capture Property Settings .
This allows you to select your desired video source such as Composite, Tuner, or
S-Video. Likewise, if you have multiple audio sources, this dialog box allows you
to specify an audio source.
5. Click Options in the Options Panel then
select Select Device Control to open the
Device Control dialog box.
6. Select the appropriate device control plug-
in then click OK . This allows you to navigate
through your video source using the
Navigation Panel .
7. Use the Navigation Panel to go to the
start of the section you want to capture.
Note: To capture live video, just set the
camcorder to Camera mode. You don’t
have to insert a blank tape.
