BisonCap
BisonCap is a video viewer useful for general purpose video viewing and testing,
and can capture video files to .avi format.
1. Run the BisonCap program from the Start > Programs/All Programs > Bison-
Cam menu (it is recommended that you set the capture file before the capture
process - see Set Capture File below).
2. Go to the Capture menu heading and select Start Capture.
3. On the first run of the program (if you have not set the captured file) you will
be asked to choose a file name and size (see the sidebar - Pre-Allocating File
Space) for the captured file. Click Start Capture again.
4. Click OK to start capturing the video, and press Esc to stop the capture.
5. If you wish to, you may go to the File menu and select Save Captured Video
As..., choose a file name and location, and then click Open (you can view the
file using the Windows Media Player).
Set Capture File
In the EMAMCAP program you will only be asked to set the capture file name on
the first run of the program. When you run the program the next time the file will
automatically be overwritten with the newly captured 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).
