Using Your ATI Multimedia Center

Capturing Video and still images

Full-motion video

. The

Digital VCR lets you capture
a clip of full-motion video
plus audio from your video source and save it as an MPEG or
AVI file on your computer’s hard disk. See

Digital VCR

on

page 39 for details.

Still images

. Capture full-

color, 24-bit-per-pixel, still
images from television, and
MPEG clips (see

Video CD

on

page 61), save them, and print
them. The images are placed
in the Stills Gallery, which saves them as Windows-standard
bitmaps (.bmp) or a wide variety of standard formats.

The Stills Gallery also supports most industry-standard graphics
file formats, so you can insert the images into reports,
presentations, letters, and other documents, to add impact to
training applications and presentations. See

Stills Gallery

on

page 55 for details.

Note

If the program is restricted by Parental Control, still
capture is disabled (see

Parental Control

on

page 33).
