Video View (for 2.0M pixel camera module)
Video View is a video viewer useful for general purpose video viewing and testing,
and can capture video files to .avi format.
1. Run the Video View program from the Start > Programs/All Programs > USB2.0
PC Camera menu (it is recommended that you set the capture file before the
capture process - see Set Capture File below).
2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check “PC Camera
Audio Setup” on page 7 - 18 ) and select Start Capture.
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.
Set Capture File
Prior to capturing video files you may Set Capture 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 capture file
in the Video View pro-
gram.
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.
