The USB Software and Driver Disk includes two programs for video capture and
editing: VideoImpression 1.6 and PhotoStudio 5. Please note that the
VideoImpression 1.6 version on this CD is manufactured specifically for ClearOne
products and does not support still captures. If you want to take still captures, use
PhotoStudio. Both products have built-in help systems to help you make the most of
your video and still captures.
