 The preset "AVI: user-defined" enables AVI videos to be recorded via the
codecs included with MAGIX Video Pro X4. There are several codecs for
various applications, e.g. "MSU Screencapture Lossless Codec", which is
used for screen capturing. Please pay attention to the general advice for AVI
videos (view page 364).
Tip: Use MPEG presets if you want to burn your recordings immediately after
recording, because thanks to the so-called "Smart Encoding" additional
lengthy encoding after recording won't be necessary.
Advanced...: Opens the video driver settings dialog.
Recording control: Here you will find the red record button and the stop
button. Using them, you can start and stop recording.
Timer recordings active/time limit: Specify the recording start time and length
to turn your PC into a fully functioning VCR.
Snapshot!: With Snapshot! you can create a still frame directly from the
preview monitor. The images are saved in the recordings folder as graphics
files in the resolution you have set.
Recording information: Here you will find statistics about recording time,
available disk space, recorded frames and "dropped frames". Dropped frames
are frames that have been left out because the computer is too slow for the
selected image format and recording quality and cannot accept all incoming
frames.
Preview: With some graphics cards, system strain can be reduced by
switching video preview off. If you hear an "echo", deactivate the audio
preview.
Advanced configurations in the video 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.
