cameras by right-clicking anywhere on the Live Video window and selecting Add new

Device type

There are three capture technologies from which to choose.

The first is simply a Screen capture. You may wish to use this option to keep a record of how

your computer was used while you were away, or for testing purposes. You may choose

between the UScreenCapture method (recommended), which is the most efficient, or a

DirectDraw Blit method. You may also choose full resolution, 3/4, or 1/2 (recommended for

screen resolutions 1024x768 and above) in the X,Y size box. Note: screen capture uses a fair

amount of CPU resources--to avoid noticeably slowing down your system, avoid exceeding a

frame rate of 5 fps for screen capture. Also, DirectDraw screen capture may only work

properly if your screen colors are set for 32-bit.
