BisonCap/Aveocap
BisonCap/AveoCap are video viewers for general purpose video viewing and test-
ing, and for capturing video files to .avi format.
1. Run the BisonCap/Aveocap application from the desktop shortcut (it is recom-
mended that you set the capture file before the capture process - see “Set Cap-
ture File (BisonCap)” on page E - 43 / “Set Capture File Folder (AveoCap)” on
page E - 43 .
2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check “PC Camera
Audio Setup (all camera modules)” on page E - 41 ) and select Start Capture .
For BisonCap:
3. Click OK (the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the
video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can view the file using the Windows
Media Player ).
For AveoCap:
4. Click Yes to start capturing the video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can
view the file using the Windows Media Player ).
Pre-Allocating File
Size/Space
You may pre-allocate the
file size (
File > Allocate
File Size/Space ) for the
capture file in the Bison-
Cap/AveoCap program
(you will need to set a
folder first for the
Aveo-
Cap program.)
Pre-allocating space on
the hard disk can improve
the capture quality (par-
ticularly of large capture
files), by reducing the
amount of work the hard
disk has to do in finding
space for the video data
as it is being captured.
