Seamless DV and MPEG capture

VideoStudio runs on Windows operating systems and is subject to limitations in file size when capturing or rendering video. VideoStudio automatically performs seamless capture, saving video into a new file every time the maximum allowable file size for a single video file has been reached.

Seamless capture will be performed only when capturing DV Type-1 or DV Type-2 (from DV camcorder), or when capturing MPEG video (from DV and HDV camcorder or analog capture device). The maximum captured file size per video file is 4 GB in Windows operating systems that use the FAT 32 partition file system. Captured video data in excess of 4 GB are automatically saved to a new file. In Windows XP which can use the NTFS file system, there is no limit in the captured file size.

Seamless capture is not available in VFW (Video For Windows) capture.

Note: VideoStudio automatically detects your file system and performs seamless capture only in a FAT 32 partition file system.
