36 Matrox Rainbow Runner G-Series – User Guide
Depending on the options selected, the size of your video project, and the speed of your computer
system, creating a video file may take a long time. Also, video files can be very large – make sure
you have enough disk space available before creating a video file.
Transferring a video file to video tape
If your Matrox graphics card supports TV output, you can transfer video files to video tape.
To do so:
1 Connect the output from your graphics card to the input of your VCR. For more information,
see your Matrox graphics card manual.
2 Prepare your VCR (turn it on, set up a video cassette).
3 Start playing the video file at the same time you start recording on your VCR. For more
information on video file playback, see “To view a video file”, page 21.
If the video file is not encoded with Matrox MJPEG, enable TV output (see your Matrox
graphics card manual), and play the file full-screen (see “Full-screen video window”, page 25).
4 Stop the recording on your VCR when the video file is finished playing.
