If I remember right, it seems I initially had success with Virtualdub, but eventually, I could no longer "capture" video from my VC500 with it.
#USE DIAMOND VC500 SOFTWARE#
Both with the software supplied with the device, and then Virtualdub. Hardly "capturing".Ī few years ago I made an effort to get my VC500 "Capture Card" to work. This device only converts a composite signal into video over USB 2.0. First off, why do they call it a "Capture Card"? It's the software that does the capturing.

And, no, let's not go down that road again, I don't have the $$$ to upgrade to a better VCR. Thanks for reminding me.I have a JVC HR-A591U VCR with composite video output. Of course, I forgot that the Blu-Ray player plays DVD. Blu-Ray players play DVDs and the material you captured will look fine when converted to DVD compatible format and authored to DVD, as long as you don't try to put too many hours on the DVD.

There aren't a lot of advantages to authoring a Blu-Ray disc from your. You could author a Blu-ray disc from your captured files, but there aren't many consumer-friendly programs available for converting files to be Blu-ray compatible, and authoring Blu-Ray discs from them. It is only a burning program for optical media. ImgBurn does not include DVD or Blu-Ray authoring functions.

Authoring creates the proper file structure. avi files.The files have to be converted to match the DVD or Blu-Ray specifications for audio and video, and then placed in the correct file structure before burning. It is only a burning program for optical media.Īs others have said, most DVD and Blu-Ray players won't play. Hans L ImgBurn does not include DVD or Blu-Ray authoring functions. I guess cue is a file format (for CDs?)?īy the way, what are the differences between AVI and MPG? More specifically, would i be able, in general, to create a Blu-Ray disk from both an AVI and MPG file? "The 'Write' mode is used to write a CUE or an image file to a CD, DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc." I will also check if ImgBurn have this function. Please advise, since, as I said, I am rather bad at these things, although I am really interested in learning, as I plan to do more A/V stuff in the future (database design and organizational studies at the moment). "Create image from files/folders" and then "Write image file to disk". I guess I should have done something else on ImgBurn, e.g. I burned two disks using ImgBurn ("Write files/folders to disc"). Mentioning this just to see if this is okay. mpg file is 10 times larger than the AVI file, and a 1 h 20 min barely fits on a 4.7 GB disk. Then you will need to "author" that MPEG2 footage to a DVD, which I'm sure the supplied software can do fairly easily. If your goal is to make a disc-shaped-object to stick in a DVD or BluRay player to watch on your TV.MPEG2. MPEG4 does not mean higher quality just because the "4" is a higher number than the 2 in MPEG2.
