Reducing Video File Size
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a
substantial amount of disk space for each file. After re-
cording video, check the video file size (right-click the file
and select
Properties
) and the remaining free space on
your hard disk (go to
Computer
, right-click the hard disk,
and select
Properties
). If necessary you can remove the
recorded video file to a removable medium e.g. CD, DVD
or USB Flash drive.
Note that the
Windows
system requires a minimum of
15GB
of free space on the
C: drive
system
partition. In
order to prevent system problems it is recommended that
you save the captured video file to a location other than
the
C: drive
, limit the file size of the captured video or re-
duce video resolution.
