Quick Start

Getting started with Roxio Video Capture

Record

6 Select a video quality.

■

High (Apple Intermediate): This is the optimal quality option

and default selection for capturing video. This is also the ideal

setting for users who want to edit their video in iMovie after

capturing.

■

Medium (H.264 640x480): This option captures video in full

resolution using the H.264 format. It should only be used by

advanced users who will be processing video using other tools

after capture. Video captured at this quality will be interlaced,

which causes the appearance of horizontal lines during

playback.

■

Low (H.264 320x240): This option captures video in a lower

resolution using the H.264 format. It should only be used by

advanced users who will be processing video using other tools

after capture. Video captured at this quality will be interlaced,

which causes the appearance of horizontal lines during

playback.

7 Optional: Rewind or fast-forward to a specific point of your video if

you only wish to capture a specific segment.

8 Click Play on your VCR or other video source.

9 When the preview window shows the point from where you would

like to begin recording, click the Record button.

Note: For the best possible results, it is recommended that you

avoid running CPU- and hard disk-intensive tasks and

applications. Running such applications while video is being

recorded may result in skips, stutters, or dropped frames.

10 Click the Stop button when you would like to stop recording.

By default, recordings are saved in the Roxio Video Capture folder

located inside your Movies folder. You can change this location by

clicking the Roxio Video Capture menu and selecting

Preferences.
