video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can view the file using the Windows
Media Player).
Set Capture File
Prior to capturing video files you may select the Set Capture File... option in the
File menu, and set the file name and location before capture (this will help avoid ac-
cidentally overwriting files). Set the name and location then click Open, then set the
"Capture file size:" and click OK. You can then start the capture process as above.

Pre-Allocating File
You may pre-allocate the
file size (File > Allocate
"PC Camera File Space) for the cap-
ture file in the BisonCap
program.
Pre-allocating space on
the hard disk can improve
the capture quality (par-
ticularly of large capture
files), by reducing the
amount of work the hard
disk has to do in finding
space for the video data
as it is being captured.
