This will allow you to playback captured video at any standard playback resolution regardless of the capture

2.) Click Advanced
3.) Click Playback Options
4.) Select the desired playback resolution.
5.) if you select Full Screen, then you can manually drag the playback window to any size.
Selecting this will open a dialog box that allows you to change the playback resolution of captured video. This will
allow you for example to playback SVCD (480 x 480) video at 720 x 480 if you like, and so forth. You can also set to
playback all video at full screen resolution. When this setting is chosen, a full screen video window will open, but it is
manually sizable by dragging any edge of the window.
Use RenderGraph
This setting is off by default. Only use this setting if you have some trouble using the “Seek” bar for playback. When
this is enabled, CapWiz will use any MPEG decoder that is found on your system. If you have more than one MPEG
software decoder installed there could be some confusion between MPEG decoders. To ensure that you use the
DVD Xpress software encoder, uncheck this setting.
Skins…
This will bring up the Skin Chooser. Currently CapWiz includes 2 skins. You can easily choose the skin of your
choice. In the future there may be lots of skins to select.

graphics card you are using, a screensaver, can disrupt the video capture.

record duration, hours, minutes and seconds exactly. Start recording and walk away knowing that the recording
