Capture
The bulk of video work involves working with raw footage. Transferring footage
from a source device to the computer involves a process called
capturing
.
When capturing, video data is transferred from a source (usually a video camera)
through a capture card to the computer’s hard drive.
VideoStudio lets you capture video from DV or HDV camcorders, mobile devices,
analog sources, VCRs and digital televisions.
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 and HDV camcorder
or analog capture device). The maximum captured file size per video file is 4 GB in
Windows operating systems 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 XP
which can use 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.
