Really important!!! – Because PC systems rarely run 100% stable and
the fun and hard work is robbed by a system crash, we recommend
that you regularly save your project, especially after making serious
changes. In this manner you will become accustomed to insuring that
no data loss occurs due to a system crash.
DV Recording with Video Capture 6.0.
In this section we would like to take a quick run through working with Video Capture.
1.
Connect the DV cable to the Cameo DV400.
2.
Switch the camcorder on and set it to the Player or VTR mode. Now connect the other end
of the DV cable to the camcorder. Your system automatically recognizes that the camcorder
is now connected to the PC.
3.
Start “Video Capture 6.0” from the program group “Ulead MediaStudio Pro 6.0 VE”.
4.
First a few options in the menu “Setup” need to set:
•
Choose the “Ulead DirectShow Recording Plug-in” under “Switch Capture Plug-in...”.
•
In the current menu “Ulead DirectShow Recording Plug-in” choose “Microsoft DV
Camera and Video Recorder”.
•
And now in the menu “Device Control” choose “MS 1394 Device Control”.
5.
Activate the “Preview” in the “View” menu. You should now be able to control your
camcorder with the function buttons from “Video Capture” remotely and the camcorder
image should be shown in “Video Capture”. If your camcorder doesn't support the remote
control feature, then you need to take all the necessary steps manually on your camcorder.

6.
Cue your video tape to the position where you would like to begin recording and click on
the recording button “REC” in the Video Capture-user infterface.
7.
Now the window “Capture Video” appears. At the position “File name” enter the name you
wish to have your video saved under. Using the button “Browse” you can set the path
where the file is to be saved. Pay attention that you have enough free memory, as each
second of DV video requires approximately 3.5 MB. To begin the recording phase click on
“OK”.
