The Vivicam 3632 does more than take great still images. It also allows you to capture video
in two distinctly different ways.
1) You may capture short video movie clips using the movie mode as described in
section 3.1.2.1. In this manner movie clips are stored to camera memory (or memory
card) as AVI (Audio/Video Interlaced) files. (Of course, there is no sound capability
with the 3632 so the audio channel is not used.) You may playback movie clips on the
camera itself, or transfer them to your computer to playback using a player such as
Windows Media player, Real Player, or QuickTime player.
2) You may also capture movies directly to your PC while the camera is connected to
your PC in PC/Web Cam mode (section 4.4). In this manner the camera captures
video imagery and ports it directly to your PC's hard drive for storage. You may use a
microphone (not included with camera) to capture audio along with the video. This
mode of operation is often called "tethered mode" as the camera is tethered to the PC
via USB connection.
The Vivicam 3632 comes with Arcsoft VideoImpression video editing software that allows
you to playback, capture, and edit video.
