DV Statistics Panel

Controls

Tape Counter And Icon

Shows how long the capture has been going. The animated icon shows the capture is in progress.

Disk Space Chart

Displays how much disk space is remaining. Used space is shown in dark blue, free space in magenta and the current capture file in yellow. 

Disk Time Remaining

Shows the time remaining on the current disk.

Dropped Frames

Shows the number of dropped from reported by the system. It is common and generally acceptable to drop one or two frames in the first second of two of capture but if the number of dropped frames continues to increase, this will degrade the quality of the movie file. See optimising your system and troubleshooting to stop dropped frames.
