Rec
ord control: Here you'll find the red record and stop buttons. These start
and stop recording.
Preview: On some graphics adapters you can reduce the system lead by
deactivating the video preview. If you hear an "echo", deactivate the audio
preview.
Recording information: Here statistical details on the recording time, the
available disk space, the number of recorded "frames" (individual pictures), and
"Dropped frames". Dropped frames are frames that have been left out because
the computer processor is too slow for the selected image format and cannot
accept all incoming frames.
Advanced configurations in the vid
eo capturing dialog
Here you can adjust certain settings for the video recording driver.
These dialog boxes, so-called “property sheets,” come with the video card
drivers. These driver-specific performance properties may deviate depending
on the cards. We also have a very limited influence on the behavior of these
drivers. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the video card
manufacturer for the latest driver updates.
Input: Sets the crossbar of the video card.
The crossbar determines which video and audio input signal will be recorded.
The crossbars are connected in series to the video recording chip itself. In the
output field, the video output (for the crossbars) is the input for the recording
chip (video or audio decoder-in) of the video card. In the “Input” field, select
the signal source that will be used by the video card to capture for this input.
Many video cards have separate crossbars for audio and video. If you have a
problem, try out the different configurations until the right sound matches the
right image.
Composite-in = the normal video input (typically a cinch jack)
S-video = S-video input (mini-din jack)
SVHS-in = SVHS input (special cable)
Tuner-in = TV signal of the integrated tuner

Video decoder: If the picture only appears in black & white or it flickers, the
video standard may be set incorrectly. In mainland Europe, PAL_B is used.
