MXO2 Supported Input and Capture Formats.” For a list of the supported video

output formats for monitoring the video that you’re capturing, see “Supported

projects. If you want to capture to an SD format, such as NTSC, you can choose

to capture your video to an .m2v file for DVD authoring using Adobe Encore. For

details about specific limitations when capturing to Matrox .m2v files, see “Notes

about capturing to Matrox .m2v files” on page 80.

°To specify your video capture settings:

1 Choose File (CC) or Project (CS6) > Project Settings > General.

2 From the Capture Format list, select Matrox AVI to capture to an .avi file,

Matrox M2V to capture to an .m2v file.
