CyberLink's DV QuickScan Reduces Video Capturing
February 26, 2004
Taipei, Taiwan - CyberLink Corp. has introduced DV QuickScan, a technology the company describes as enabling users to preview their pre-captured camcorder video files up to six times faster than real-time previewing.
DV QuickScan is designed to reduce the time and effort in converting digital video (DV) tape into MPEG files, the manufacturer reports, by offering users an easy way to preview and select the content they want captured. An entire DV tape can be previewed at up to 6 times the normal viewing speed. Individual clips are created at points where the camera was stopped during recording, making it so much easier for users to identify each scene and select only the scenes they want. Check boxes on unwanted clips can be deselected. Meanwhile only those clips that remain selected will be captured. DV QuickScan allows quick-and easy previewing of pre-captured video.
DV QuickScan technology is now featured in CyberLink's video editing software, PowerDirector 3, called "from start to finish" video editing software for advanced and entry-level users.
