EMAMCAP
The
EMAMCAP
video viewer can capture video files to .avi format, and is useful
for basic general purpose video viewing and testing (a number of
commercially
available
programs support advanced video capture features).
1.
Run the
EMAMCAP
program (or press the PC Camera
hot key) from the
Start
> Programs/All Programs > USB2.0 1.3 PC Cam
menu (it is recommended that
you
set the capture file
first -
see Set Capture File below
).
2.
Go to the
Capture
menu heading and select
Start Capture
(or hold the PC
Camera
hot key for longer than one second).
3.
On the first run of the program (if you have not set the captured file) you will be
asked to choose a file name, size (
see the sidebar - Pre-Allocating File Space
)
and location for the captured file.
4.
Click
OK
to start capturing the video, and press
Esc
to stop the capture.
5.
If you wish to, you may go to the
File
menu and select
Save Captured Video...
,
choose a file name and location, and then click
Open
(you can view the file using
the
Windows Media Player
).
Set Capture File
In the
EMAMCAP
program you will only be asked to set the capture file name on
the first run of the program. When you run the program the next time the file will
automatically be overwritten with the newly captured file. To avoid overwriting files
you can go to the
Set Capture File..
option in the
File
menu, and set the file name
and location before capture. Set the name and location then click
Open
(you can
choose
Cancel
to ignore the file size if prompted).
Pre-Allocating File
Space
You may pre-allocate
the file size for the cap-
ture file in the EMAM-
CAP program. You can
choose to ignore this by
clicking Cancel.
Pre-allocating space on
the hard disk can im-
prove the capture quali-
ty (particularly of large
capture files), by reduc-
ing the amount of work
the hard disk has to do
in finding space for the
video data as it is being
captured.
You may find it helpful to
defragment the HDD be-
fore capture.
