and can capture video files to .avi format.

) and select Start Capture.

video, and press Esc to stop the capture.

Set Capture File

Prior to capturing video files you may Set Capture File... To avoid overwriting files
you can go to the Set Capture File.. option in the File menu, and set the file name
and location before capture. Set the name and location then click Open

(you can

choose Cancel to ignore the file size if prompted).

Pre-Allocating File

Space

You may pre-allocate
the file size for the cap-
ture file in the Video
View
program.

Pre-allocating space on
the hard disk can im-
prove the capture quali-
ty (particularly of large
capture files), by reduc-
ing the amount of work
the hard disk has to do
in finding space for the
video data as it is being
captured.
