Real-time MPEG encoding

If your computer uses a Pentium® II, Pentium® III, Pentium® processor with MMX technology, or an AMD Athlon™ processor, you can capture video and save it in MPEG format, in real time.

The Digital VCR Custom Settings provide four, pre-set MPEG recording settings, as well as AVI, and you can customize video and audio settings for your particular purposes.
