Instant DVD+MP3 includes several flexible and dynamic software tools for your video projects: · Capture Wizard application · Ulead VideoStudio 9 SE DVD · Nero SoundTrax and Wave Editor (for Audio authoring only) 2 Ways to Capture and Edit Video Capture Wizard (CapWiz): Easy Video Capture & Playback This is the fastest and easiest way to capture MPEG-1 (VCD) or MPEG-2 (SVCD, DVD) video on your PC. Use the Wizard screens to verify your video connections, video compression format and where you want your video files stored on your computer hard drive. Use CapWiz to quickly capture video or send MPEG video back to a VCR for recording or a TV for viewing. CapWiz also allows you to set up timed recordings and delayed recordings and easily select video capture bit rates for Good, Better or Best DVD video quality. You can even set custom settings for video resolution, video and audio bit rate, constant or variable bit rates and set video pre-processing filters to help reduce noise in old VHS tapes. You can also capture audio only into MP3 or WAV format. Convert your old tapes or LPs into a digital audio format that will last forever. The audio capture function is available in the Custom Settings of CapWiz application. Note: When preparing to display captured video on a TV or recording to video tape, be sure that you have connected audio video cables from the Instant DVD+MP3 to your TV's audio and video input and that you have selected the external video source on the TV. Only MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files can be exported out to TV, because Instant DVD+MP3 is an MPEG decoder. If you have saved a movie to a streaming video format (.wmv) for example, this file of type cannot be decoded for TV display. 2 Ulead VideoStudio 9 SE DVD: Full Video Capture & Editing VideoStudio 9 takes you through the movie making process.
