Once all the proper connections are made, the VideoWave II software makes the capture. VideoWave II provides a bit of flexibility during the initial capture, but most tweaking of settings is done during the following conversion steps. So, I recommend keeping the default settings during capture. In VideoWave II, click the bottom icon in the column to the immediate left of the playback image. You ll see a series of Start Capture buttons below the image.
Capture begins immediately.
When you re ready to stop recording, click the Stop button that appears below the image. Be advised that the AVI format is totally uncompressed, and AVI files can be huge. My first attempt at video capture resulted in a 30-second AVI clip that was over 100 MB in size. Even after tweaking some of the capture settings, I found that the resulting AVI files can very easily become too large to manage. If long clips are desired, it s probably best to create them as a series of shorter clips unless you ve got a hard drive with several gigabytes of free space.
