select the automatic file switching options that you want, such as to switch to
the next clip after a specified time limit. These options are the same as
provided in the

Matrox Capture Format Settings

dialog box (see

“Specifying your capture format settings”

on page

To limit the capture to a maximum duration, enter the duration (in minutes)
that you want in the

Maximum Duration

Note

Keep the maximum duration close to the actual maximum that you

want. If the maximum duration is a lot longer than you need, the file size of
your clips will be larger.
