This is a simple video recording application.  It can capture
video from a video capture board and write it to an AVI or 
Quicktime file.

The application has many pop-up menus but needs to be configured
so that it will work on your system.  

Writing raw video requires considerable disk bandwidth.  For 
example, 640x480 16-bit video requires just over 17 megabytes
per second of disk bandwidth.  You can't write that much to a
typical hard disk.

With a standard IDE hard disk you can capture 320x240 16-bit
video.  Capturing audio will work but playback is choppy. This
is our bug and it will be fixed soon.

If you setup a striped disk (see the optional/experimental/striped
driver) you can capture 640x480 16-bit video in realtime.

With the Photo-JPEG compressor and a P-II 350 you can capture 
320x240 at 15 frames per second.

Things to check: make sure you have the color space set to a 
reasonable value:  15, 16 or 32 bit color are good (15 or 16
bit look good and are half the bandwidth of 32-bit).  The
frame rate can also help to reduce the bandwidth requirements.
Reducing the frame size can help as well.
