Video Capture with WinTV2000
Capturing both still images (BMP, GIF, JPEG etc) and motion videos (AVI) is sim-
ple with the WinTV-USB. To configure and activate these functions, use the inte-
grated software remote control by clicking the
RC button in the WinTV2000
application. WinTV32 has identical features, which can be selected from the still
camera and movie camera buttons provided on the top of the WinTV32 toolbar.
Snapshot Capture: Multiple still images can be captured , allowing you to
select or
discard images and adjust the image size before saving. Use the
CFG but-
ton (below) to set the default image size (the image size can also be altered
by clicking the Right mouse button on a chosen image ).
Motion Video Capture: The buttons under the Video Capture section are
numbered to aid clarity.
First, click on 1. FILE to set the Name and Location of the file that you want
to create, for example: TEST.AVI in C:\ (as shown, we recommend adding
the .avi extension at the end of the file name).
Click on FMT to set the Video Format, Frame Size and Frame Rate (typical-
ly: 15-bit RGB, 320x240 and 25 frames per second, respectively).
To start Recording , click on REC . To stop Recording, click on REC again.
A file name ending with the extension .AVI will be created and copied to your
hard disk. To play back the recorded file, simply click on the PLAY button.
Alternatively, locate the file and double click on it.
Warning: Motion (avi) files can consume a large amount of disk space; typically
100MB per minute.
Setting up for audio capture: If you are using digital audio over the USB
bus , then you must configure the audio capture. Click and hold the right
mouse button on the WinTV window and you will see the drop down menu.
Click Record then Set Audio Source , and set Audio Capture Sources to
WinTV-USB
