Capturing (AVI) Video Using Webcam Express

Now that you have your camera installed you can use it to capture short

movies called AVI files. The length of time you can record an AVI file

while the camera is connected to your computer will vary, depending on

how much hard drive space you will use to save the file. Please take note

that these AVI files take up a lot of hard drive space. This is done through

the PhoTags WebCam Express program. This next section will walk you

though capturing an AVI file.

. Double-click the

“WebCam Express” icon that is on your desktop

to launch the “PhoTags WebCam Express” program. Adjust your

WebCam to the desired position. The screen will display what the

WebCam “sees”.
