This section describes how to use the Epiphan video capture
application to record video files on a video capture workstation
running Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
Under Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, the Epiphan video capture
application records videos as windows *.avi files. The *.avi files
are created and saved by an external codec that must be installed
on the video capture workstation. The Epiphan video capture
application passes captured images to the video codec and the
codec does the recording. Setting up video recording involves
installing an external third-party video codec and adding that
codec to your video capture application configuration. This
section describes:
•
Setting display options for recording videos
• Selecting a Windows video codec
• Installing the ffvfw video codec pack
• Configuring video file recording options
• Recording a video
• Playing back a video file
