Dv Video Capture Software Free Download

DV Capture is a simple to use application that allows someone to capture audio and video through the Firewire port from an external device into their PC.

Hi, I am new to DV capture, and is currently helping a friend transfer training video's to DVD. Before hand I did some research on the subject and found out, thanks to many posts in these forums, that the Canopus ACDV-100 was the best thing available or one of the best things. My main question what is the best software to use to capture from video, I've tried Unlead VideoStudio 8, which worked fine, but is there any better capture software that would give you better control over how you capture the video?

I'm voting for! Extremely reliable, very simple, light-weight. One feature that I depend on is the 'threshold' adjustment thingy to cut your DV in chunks depending on 'discontinuities' in the date/time info. This is incredibly useful. For example, I use a threshold of 3600 seconds to get one avi per 'event' (if I film a birthday, the whole thing will be put in a single avi, even if I stopped filming for a little while, but another birthday shot a different day on the same DV tape will be put in a separate avi). If you select a threshold of 8h, you'll pretty much lump everything that was shot in the same day in the same avi. Being able to adjust this threshold is fantastic (I haven't seen that on other capture softs).

You can make save the file as native DV. The software is encouraging you to encode while capturing.

I don't use it because you can't tell if any frames are dropped. My vote is for for the transfer to the computer. Encoding it for a DVD is another story. Some people prefer to improve the quality of the home movie before encoding, using filters in or other software. If you are going to dump it 'as is' to the DVD, then use the maximum bitrate settings, which will give you around 60min of video on a single layer disk.

The format is: capture [-exit] [[HH:]MM:]SS[.ss] filename The –exit tells WinDV to shut down after completing the capture process. The time setting specifies the duration. The filename can include path information but should not include the.avi extension. WinDV automatically appends the date, time, index, and extension to the filename you specify (per the preset configuration parameters).
