BisonCap (1.3M Cam)/VideoView (2.0M Cam)
BisonCap
and
VideoView
are video viewers for general purpose video viewing and
testing, and capturing video files to .avi format.
1.
Run the
BisonCap/VideoView
program from the
Start > Programs/All Programs
> BisonCam/USB2.0 PC Camera
menu (it is recommended that you
set the cap-
ture file
before the capture process -
see Set Capture File below
).
2.
Go to the
Capture
menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check
) and select
Start Capture
.
3.
Click
OK
(the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the
video, and press
Esc
to stop the capture (you can view the file using the
Windows
Media Player
).
Set Capture File
Prior to capturing video files you may select the
Set Capture File..
. option in the
File
menu, and set the file name and location before capture (this will help avoid ac-
cidentally overwriting files). Set the name and location then click
Open
, then select
the
"Capture file size:"
and click
OK
. You can then start the capture process as
above.
Note the important information in
“Reducing Video File Size” on page 7 - 16
order to save file space, and help prevent system problems.
Pre-Allocating File
Space
You may pre-allocate
the file size (
File > Allo-
cate File Size
) for the
capture file in the
BisonCap/VideoView
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.
