5 Enter the file name, select the location for saving the video file,
and select Save.
As images are captured by the Frame Grabber they are
recorded to the video file. The Status bar shows the name and
location of the video file. The status bar also displays the
amount of time that the video has been recording and the
number of frames (or images) recorded.
When the size of the video file reaches the AVI file size limit,
(see “AVI file size limit” on page 103 ) the video capture
application does one of the following:
• stops recording.
• starts a new video file and continues recording.
( “Configuring video file recording options” on page 102
describes how to specify the file name.)
• overwrites the original video file and continues recording.
You can pause recording by selecting Pause from the Capture
menu or from the toolbar.
You can stop recording by selecting Stop Recording from the
Capture menu or from the toolbar. When you stop
recording the Status bar shows the name and location of the
saved video file, the amount of time that the video file was
recording, and the number of frames (or images) recorded. For
example: Wrote c:\temp\example.avi (85 sec, 464 frames) .
Playing back a video file
Depending on the video codec that you used, you should be able
to play back most recorded videos using Windows Media Player.
If you are playing back the video file on a computer other than the
video capture workstation, you may need to install a video codec
on that computer.
You cannot use the Epiphan video capture application to play
back video files.
