Capturing DV video
VideoStudio increases your video-editing freedom by not only
allowing you to capture digital video, but by giving you the option
to save them as DV Type-
1
or Type-
2
files as well. Now it is very
important that you know the differences between the two:
DV Type-1 and DV Type-2
DV captured by
FireWire
(IEEE-1394 capture card) is
automatically stored as AVI files (that is, if you did not previously
specify a plug-in that will directly capture your digital video to
MPEG format). An AVI file usually contains two streams, one video
and one audio. DV is a data stream that itself contains video and
audio.
Seamless DV and MPEG Capture
VideoStudio runs on Windows operating systems and is subject to
limitations in file size when capturing or rendering video.
VideoStudio automatically performs
seamless capture
, saving video
into a new file every time the maximum allowable file size for a
single video file has been reached.
Seamless capture will be performed only when capturing DV Type-
1 or DV Type-2 (from DV camcorder), or when capturing MPEG
video (from DV camcorder or analog capture device). The maximum
captured file size per video file is
4
GB in Windows operating
systems (such as Windows 98 SE and Me) that use the FAT 32
partition file system. Captured video data in excess of
4
GB are
automatically saved to a new file. In Windows 2000, which uses the
NTFS file system, there is no limit in the captured file size.
Seamless capture is not available in VFW (Video For Windows)
capture.
Note:
VideoStudio automatically detects your file system and performs seamless
capture only in a FAT 32 partition file system. The NTFS system does not have
the 4GB limitation.
