Capturing
Analog Home Video
The TV tuner card of your PC allows you to
play television programs in Media Center. The
TV tuner card also allows you to connect a VCR,
a camcorder, or another analog video device
to the PC, and then capture your home video as
a file.
You cannot play a television program and
capture analog video at the same time: Your
PC will automatically restart or experience other
problems.
To connect the analog home video
source and record
1 Open Media Center. Click Start and then
click Media Center.
2 Cancel any TV programs recording or
scheduled for recording during this capture
procedure:
Click My TV, Recorded TV, and then click
Scheduled. Select any program scheduled
for the same time as you are capturing your
video, and then click Don’t Record.
3 Close Media Center. You can now safely use
your analog capture feature in ArcSoft
ShowBiz.
4 Click Start, click Turn Off Computer, and
then click Turn Off.
5 Use a coaxial cable or S-video cable to
connect your analog home video source
(VCR or camcorder) to the TV in connector or
S-VID IN connector on the back of the PC. If
necessary, first disconnect the cables for the TV
signal from your antenna or set-top box.
