Ways to Capture and Edit Video
CapWiz: EASY VIDEO CAPTURE & PLAYBACK
This is the fastest and easiest way to capture MPEG-1 (VCD) or MPEG-2
(SVCD, DVD) video on your PC. Use the Wizard screens to verify your video
connections, video compression format and where you want your video files
stored on your computer hard drive.
Use CapWiz to quickly capture video or send MPEG video back to a VCR
for recording or a TV for viewing. CapWiz also allows you to set up timed
recordings and delayed recordings and easily select video capture bit rates for
Good, Better or Best DVD video quality. You can even set custom settings for
video resolution, video and audio bit rate, constant or variable bit rates and set
video pre-processing filters to help reduce noise in old VHS tapes.
NOTE: When preparing to display captured video on a TV or recording to video
tape, be sure that you have connected audio video cables from the Instant DVD
to your TV's audio and video input and that you have selected the external video
source on the TV. Only MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files can be exported out to TV,
because Instant DVD is an MPEG decoder. If you have saved a movie to a
streaming video format (.wmv) for example, this file type cannot be decoded for
TV display.
VideoStudio 7.0 DVD SE: full video capture & editing
Video Studio steps you through the movie making process. Key steps are;
CAPTURE, EDIT, EFFECT, OVERLAY, TITLE, AUDIO and SHARE.
Use Video
Studio if you want to edit video, add effects or video filters, titles, back ground
music or voice overs to create a unique video production. With Video Studio
you can capture, edit and then export video to TV or VCR or publish your movie
to disk.
Video Studio includes a DVD Wizard that lets you easily author and burn your
movie to disk. You can export any single file to the DVD Wizard, or save your
edited movie to a VCD, SVCD or DVD movie and then export it to the DVD
Wizard. You start the DVD Wizard by going to the SHARE step and clicking
"Create Disk".
VCD and SVCD movies can be burned on a CD-ROM disk. DVD movies can
also be burned on a CD-ROM disk, but you are limited to about 20 minutes
of DVD quality video on a 700MB CD. If you have a DVD recorder, you can
get about 2 hours of DVD quality video on a 4.7 GB DVD disk. Video Studio
also supports publishing SVCD (MPEG-2 at 2.4 megabits/sec.) to a CD-ROM.
SVCD is playable in many home DVD players. You can fit about 35-40 minutes
of SVCD content on a 700 MB CD disk.
