Selecting your capture folder

You can select the folder where you want A/V Tools to store your captured clips
by typing the drive and folder name directly into the Capture Folder box, or by
using the Browse button.
To ensure the best capture and playback performance of your clips, save them on
one of your A/V drives.
A/V Tools will save your video and audio clips in a subfolder with the same
name as the Tape ID . For example, if you selected D:\Matrox AV Tools Capture
as your capture folder, all video and audio clips from tape "MyTape" will be
saved in D:\Matrox AV Tools Capture\MyTape.

The Matrox Playback Settings dialog box has several pages that you can use to
