Windows 98
When you install the Windows 98 Driver of your ASUS graphics card (only models
with the
VIDEO-IN connector), the video capture driver will automatically be installed
on your system. This video capture driver follows Microsoft Video for Windows
standard and can open up to a capture window size of 704 x 480. It can be used
with some applications that use video capture as an option, such as video conferencing,
net meeting, or digital video authoring applications.
IMPORTANT: You must enable the DMA transfer mode of your hard disk (EIDE
HD) to get the maximum data transfer capability (704 x 480, 30 frames/second)
during the video capture process. Otherwise, your system may become unstable.
Windows 2000/NT 4.0
The video capture driver for Windows 2000/NT 4.0 is not automatically installed
when you install the display drivers of your ASUS graphics card.
To install, insert the CD installation disc into your CD-ROM drive, click Drivers,
and then click Install Video for Windows Capture Driver (see 3. Software Setup
| Install Video for Windows Capture Driver).
