capture settings or start a capture in A/V Tools, select

This option is not available if you’re working with 1080i @ 29.97 fps video
and using a 10-bit video processing format. For details on using the VU
meters, see

stereo

.wav

.wav

files.

$

From the

Filename

lists, select which stereo pairs or mono channels you

want to save to your

.wav

files (up to four stereo files or up to eight mono

files depending on the type of audio being captured). Select

None

for the

particular

.wav

files you don’t want to be created, or click the

D

(default)

button for each

Filename

list if you want to capture only channels 1 and

2. When A/V Tools saves each

.wav

file, it assigns a

.Stereo.wav

or

.Mono.wav

suffix to the base name you gave for the associated video file.

For example, if you’ve named your video file

MyFile.avi

, the associated

stereo audio files would be named

MyFile.Stereo1.wav

,

MyFile.Stereo2.wav

, etc.

Note

The channels that you choose to save to the first stereo

.wav

file or first

two mono

.wav

files will be embedded in the associated

.avi

file.
