 Click the Size Limit box to set it and then input the maximum recording size in

MB.

7 To begin real-time capture, click Play on your camcorder and

then click PowerDirector’s Record button when you’re

ready. The total recording time will be displayed above the

DV tape’s timecode area.

Note: When capturing in non real-time, if your HDD is almost out of space (if less than

150 MB of free space, all capturing will be disabled), a warning message will appear

in the Preview Window notifying that a portion of the transcoding process will be

paused and resume later only after all the content in the buffer has been encoded by

your HDD.

8 Click Stop after finishing your capture. The captured file may appear

directly in your Library or Storyboard depending on preferences. (You can also

select to begin detecting scenes automatically after the capture is completed.)

Go to "Capture/Export Preferences" on page 48 for more information.

Note: If you have chosen to capture in non real-time, after you have clicked Stop, a message

will be displayed in the Preview Window notifying you that the encoding of the

content in the buffer is still ongoing and that it will be completed shortly in the time

remaining.
