Matrox VidCap driver
Video capture programs ( other than Matrox PC-VCR Remote and Avid Cinema) use the Matrox
VidCap driver interface. For example, when you use Ulead Photo Express , you see the Matrox
VidCap driver interface when you adjust video settings. This section describes VidCap source and
format setting controls.
