Chapter 8: AVI Capture Options
and Settings
Table 16 and Table 17 explain the options available when using the AVI Capture features of Niagara
SCX.
NOTE: When capturing uncompressed AVI files, be sure that your system’s hard drive speed
can keep up with the data you capture. If not, the capture file drops frames and loses quality.
Developers recommend a 10,000-RPM IDE hard disk or above for full resolution
uncompressed SD capture. You should also defragment your hard drive on a regular basis.
