MovieStar fails to detect any video signal).
To capture a still image, just click the Still Image Capture
button.
Clicking on the Still Image Mode button again will close the Still
Image Mode.

audio clips and saving them as MPEG audio (.mpa)
files or WAVE (.wav).
Upon clicking the Audio Mode button the Video Window will open
and display the Audio Clip graphic.
Clicking on the Audio Mode button again will close the Audio
Mode.
Playing or editing a media file will automatically cancel the Audio
Mode.
TV/VCR Output
Mode Button
The TV/VCR Output Mode button is located on the
bottom-right side of the Main Interface. This button is
a toggle that lets you play your projects out through
the Digital Video Creator II to a variety of external
devices, such as a VCR.
Normally, when you play an audio/video clip you will see it playing
in MovieStar’s Video Window. However, when TV/VCR Output is
enabled, clips are played out through the DVC-II’s Video Out and
Audio Out jacks.
TV/VCR Output is used for playing clips to a TV or VCR for
recording them to tape.
