Driver Installation and Registry
• VELASBE.SYS
, the encoder device driver for Windows 2000.
•
VELAENCD.SYS
, the encoder device driver for Windows NT.
•
SAA_7146.SYS
, the decoder device driver.
Each device driver has associated Registry settings that provide Windows with
information about the driver. The Registry settings are listed below in an .INI
