iuVCR Timer - Please help

[jeffoz1]

I'm using iuVCR but I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to initiate a capture to run for a set period without having to set up a schedule with start and stop times. Say for example I want to capture VHS input. In the past using Vdub I would just set up the timer, start the video and hit the F6 button. iuVCR has a 'start' button but the timer seems to be fixed for 60min. If I set up a schedule with start and stop times it harder to synchronise turning on VHS when the schedule kicks in. I there a setting that I'm missing?

Any sugestions appreciated.

Where did you want to set the end time?
All I can see here (http://people.freenet.de/TC.Xan/images/iuvcr.png), is the this:

[list=1]
The start time
The duration
The frequency of the schedule
The day for the first capture
[/list=1]

So what? simply set up the above settings how you need them, then click ok. If you're running Win2K/XP, you'll have to enter a username and a password for the schedule.

You can set a option to stop record automatically when your movie is over.
Choose an option "Stop when signal vanish"

ADLANCAS...thanks for the handy tip.

Thanks too fellaw

I may not have made myself totally clear.

I'm aware that I can schedule start and stop times. However I need to be able to cue the VHS player a second or two prior to capture starting so I don't get dropped frames and audio sync probs. A manual start on capture would seem to be the most appropriate. I therefore wondered if there was a setting that would adjust the end time from a manual capture start (ie override the 60min timer).

Maybe if I pose this as a question and apologies in advance if the answer is obvious:

If you wanted to capture a 65 min segment in the middle of a VHS tape how would you do it assuming you can leave it unsupervised after starting?

Depending on the version of iuVCR, right click on the record button, it'll give you a popup menu with a capture timer. It's a fairly recent feature...

Thanks yarisbandit......I saw it only just before you posted. I don't usually right-click on buttons so I overlooked it.

This feature makes ALL the difference.
