Chapter 3: Using the ENMVG-2
Connect your video source to the ENMVG-2. Let’s start by ass uming that your video
source is working properly and also sending a signal to the output connectors you’re going
to use (if you're not sure, now’s the time to check!).
Start up TotalMedia (the software you just instal led). Double-click the
TotalMedia3.5 icon on your desktop.
3.1 Capture Video
As soon as the software runs up, you’ ll see the screen to the right. Now click on the
“Video” button; t he Capture scr een should load.
11
www.encore-usa.com
You’ ll see a page as below. The black rectangle on t he down left will displ ay your images
once you start the video source and the capture.
First test your software is working properly by playing the video you want to r ecord. Click
the “Settings” button.
When the Video Setti ngs page appears, click the “ Capture Settings” button. The Capture
Settings page sho uld load.
12
www.encore-usa.com
Click the “ Auto Dete ct Video Signal” button and w ait a few seconds. Then click the
“Save” button in t he upper left to save your work and return to the Video Sett ings page.
Once the Video Setti ngs page has loaded, click the “Save” button to go back to the Video
screen. Then you can check your test video.
Now wind the video to where you want your recor ding to start. Click “Capture” to load the
Capture page.

www.encore-usa.com
You can enter a name for your recording into the “File Name” field.
Note:
If your video source is a DV camcor der, you’ll be asked to choose whether you
want the video stored in “D V-AVI” format or “MPEG-2” format (that’s the format
used for movie DVDs). For important footage, the DV-AVI format is usually the
better choice if you have the space. DV-AVI files are normally higher quality and
better for editing later, but they’re also bigger than MPEG-2 versions of the
same source video. Dependi ng on your format decisi on, various options ma y
be available t o you .
To interrupt the recording for any reason, just click the "Stop" button in the upper left of the
Capture page.
It’s sometimes hard to estimate the exact length of a recording you want to create, so we
recommend you ent er a longer ti me than the video y ou w ant to capture (you’ll see an
estimate of the available rec ording time on your disk). Don’t worry about extra footage
because you can easily tri m off the e xcess at the start and end using the edi tor.
