Capturing from VFW Devices

VFW ("Video for Windows") devices follow an older Microsoft multimedia framework. Older webcams, USB devices, or PCI devices may use the VFW standard.

To capture video from VFW devices, select your desired VFW device from the pull-down. The Source and Format buttons may have various image size and format options available, and will vary from device to device.

Check the Audio Device box to record audio from your selected sound source.

When you're ready, click the red Record button.

Capturing from WDM Devices

WDM ("Windows Driver Model") devices follow a newer Microsoft driver framework. Newer webcams, USB devices, or PCI devices might use the WDM standard.

To capture video from WDM devices, select your desired WDM device from the pull-down. The Settings, Format, and Input buttons may contain various options including enhancement features and compression, depending on the device.
