I have a DV Camcorder and PowerDirector 8 (retail). I have several tapes that I wish to put on the PC as DV-AVI files for the first time. Of the three options available;
DV Backup seems to capture for DVD so I asume it will capture Mpeg2 files.
The "Auto Batch" option scans a short portion of the video tape and then reverts back to "step 1" and tells me to rewind the tape. It dosn't actually capture anything.
The "Manual Batch" option I have managed to capture a clip with the mark in and out buttons but I just want to capture the whole tape (68 mins) and get the avi file into a folder. Do I have to mark the start of the tape then fast forward and mark the end in order to do this? I am not really interested in batches at the moment.
I'm sure that I am missing something here, or just being an idiot. Can anyone help please?
