First off, I am relatively new to PD15. Have been using it for a short time, converting VHS tapes to DVD. Have had fairly good success so far. I guess my biggest issue is many of the tapes have maybe 3 or 4 different things on them. ie. christmas, granddaughters bday, etc. Trying to separate, and place all similar things on a separate dvd. Is there a way that I can capture the entire tape, then cut each segment and save as a separate file? At73 years old, it took several weeks to adjust from my FLIP phone, so tech isn't my strong suit. ANY help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, Youngster !

Capture the full tapes as you can and then select the gear icon "Preferences" then "Capture" and make sure there is no checkmark by do not detect scenes. You can select any of the other two options.

You will have to sort through the scenes to find the ones you want to use.

Thamks, I'll give this a try. Have been litterally re-running the same tape and capturing several times to separate. Hope this saves some time. Thanks again.

If your capture produces one long file, here is a tutorial showing how to mark each segment as a range and produce a separate video for each.
