Installing the Video Capture Player for offline viewing
A prerequisite for viewing any boot capture video in an offline mode is the installation of a local video
capture player. You can save a local copy of a boot capture for future use. The Save option prompts
you to indicate the location to which to save the boot capture file (*.dvc file extension).

click on the Video Capture Tab as seen in Figure 5. You can download the Video Capture Player from
