Matrox G200 MMS – User Guide
Look at the
Max recording time
box to see the maximum amount of time you can record
to a video file. This time is based on the currently selected capture settings and the
amount of free space on the disk where your video file will be recorded.
For more information on Matrox PC-VCR property settings, click “
” on the title bar of
the dialog box, then click a dialog box item.
Recording to a video file
1
Click the
LINE

see “Before you record to a video file”, page 29
2
Click
Record
(
).
If you click
Record
once, Matrox PC-VCR will record to video file until you click
Stop
(
) or run out of disk space. If you click
Record
again, PC-VCR will record for 2
minutes; click again and PC-VCR will record for 4 minutes; and so on.
Mini remote
If you don’t want to use the full-sized Matrox PC-VCR
remote, you can use the “mini remote”. The mini remote is
a toolbar added to the PC-VCR video window. The mini
remote replaces the “full remote”. To use the mini remote, right-click the PC-VCR remote, then click
Use Mini Remote
on the resulting pop-up menu.
Pause your mouse pointer over each mini remote button to see a pop-up tooltip identifying it. There
are different buttons on the mini remote depending on the type of input selected.
To return to using the full remote again, right-click the Matrox PC-VCR video window, then click
Use
Full Remote
on the resulting pop-up menu.
Recording settings
The maximum frame size and rates you can select
with the
Recording settings
slider are based on the
currently selected capture settings and the disk where
the video file will be created. Higher-quality capture settings generally require a disk that
can store information faster. Matrox PC-VCR determines how fast your disk can store
information by checking the results saved by the
Matrox HD Benchmark
program.
Note:
Your Matrox product doesn’t support hardware-accelerated MJPEG encoding and
decoding. Because of this, certain Matrox software controls are unavailable.
