PixeDV Capture Settings

LAUNCHING PIXEDV

If you plan to capture video, make sure the USB Instant DVD , your video sources and your Macintosh

are all connected properly. Please refer to the HARDWARE INSTALLATION section of this manual

if you need help.

Open the USB Instant DVD folder that you may have copied to your desktop or inside your

Macintosh Hard Drive.

You will see the following icons:

USB Instant DVD for MAC

Depending on your View settings for OSX, this may appear as Icons, as a List or display in column mode.

Double Click on the PixeDV Icon on your G3 or G4 Mac. You will see this startup Screen:

You can click on any of the ve functions at any time. The buttons are not sequential. Which means it would

not matter whether you clicked Capty or Album rst.

Clicking Quit will exit the application.

When you click on CAPTY, IMPORT, ALBUM, you will always have a navigation bar on the topmost side of the

screen that can take you to all the various functions of the PixeDV for MAC application as shown below:

For best performance, since you will be dealing with large les when capturing video, turn off the screen

saver and power saving on your Mac. It would also be best that you have no other programs running

when capturing video.

CAPTURING VIDEO

Clicking on the CAPTY button will take you to this window:

The rst step is to check your capture settings. Click on the tab that says capture. This will take you to

this window:

From this window you can select:

Video Input

S-Video – Sometimes referred to as SVHS, select this input if you have a video source that is plugged into the

S-Video connector on the USB Instant DVD for MAC

Composite – Sometimes referred to as RCA jacks, select this input if you have a video source that is plugged

into the Composite connector.

Capturing Format

MPEG1

Select MPEG1 if you plan to create a VCD Movie.

Select your quality level. For a more detailed explanation about Quality Levels, check the Capture Settings

table in the USING PixeDV for MAC Overview section of the MANUAL.

MPEG2

Select MPEG2 if you plan to create a DVD Movie.

Select your quality level. For a more detailed explanation about Quality Levels, check the Capture Settings

table in the USING PixeDV for MAC Overview section of the MANUAL.

Customize

Customize your capture settings. You can select your bit rate, capture image size and change the capture

settings from CBR to VBR. This means:

CBR – Constant Bit Rate

The video stream is always encoded and xed to a constant value. High motion scenes and low motion

scenes are always allocated the same number of bits. A video stream of a an area of the sky which constantly

stays blue gets the same number of bits as a fast action scene.

VBR – Variable Bit Rate.

The video stream is encoded at variable bit rates depending on the scene being captured. High motion scenes

will be allocated more space to capture more detail.

Start capturing:

Once you have selected all your settings, you can now click on the Start Capture button to start

the capture process.

Video should start previewing on the blue area of the interface about 1 second after you click Start Capture.

This one second delay should be accounted for when you start capturing video.

With the capture process started, you will notice the status screen will start giving you specications on the le

you are capturing, how large it is and how much hard drive space you have left.

To stop the capture process, click on the STOP Capture Button. A thumbnail of the le you just captured

will appear, on the right. In the illustration shown above, 3 thumbnails are shown. This is for illustration

purposes only. When you rst start the program, you would normally not have any thumbnails shown

until after capturing.

The video that you just captured will be placed in the default album folder. Albums can be renamed, deleted,

created etc. This will be explained more under the Album section of this manual.

The one error message that you might get during the capture process will be:

This error would normally be caused by selecting the wrong video Source under capture settings. Please

make sure that you select S-Video if you have an S-Video source or Composite if you have a composite

source plugged into the USB Instant DVD.

Global Preference

The Global Preference button that appears on the

upper right side of the capture screen manages:

1 – Import File Locations: Point to the correct directory

on your Mac for importing les

2 – Points to the directory where you want to create

PLAY LIST Files. In the ALBUM section of this

manual you can create play list’s for playing several

les continuously.

3 – Slide Show Settings: You can run a slide show of

the video les or any other les in an album. The rst

frame of every video le will be shown.

EXPORTING VIDEO

To export video back to a VCR , CAMCORDER or for preview on a TV MONITOR, click on the OUTPUT

Button on the main CAPTY interface. Clicking on OUTPUT will take you to this screen.

Drag thumbnails into the output box. You can drag as many les that you want in whatever order and

play them back.

Click on the START Button to start the export process. Click on the STOP Button to stop.

Once the export process is started, you will see this activity at the bottom left of the screen:

IMPORTANT: If for some reason you don’t see video out to your TV or video is not recording on your VCR,

check your cable connections. Please consult the HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE section of this manual

for more instructions.

IMPORTING VIDEO

Clicking on the IMPORT button from the MAIN SCREEN or the IMPORT button from MENU BAR will take you

to this screen:

You can browse easily to any directory on any drive (eg: local drive, rewire drives etc) and drag other media

like DV, QUICKTIME, PICTURES or MPEG les into an album.
