Section 2. Setting Up Your iSee

Disabling iTunes Auto-Launch

If you’ve been using iTunes with your iPod, you know that iTunes usually auto-launches (launches automatically) whenever you connect your iPod to the computer. Disabling iTunes auto-launch is optional, but it’s more convenient if you do so, because the VidiScape installation replaces this iTunes auto-launch with its own auto-launch selector. (The iSee installer also explains how to disable iTunes auto-launch.) You can always launch iTunes manually, simply by double-clicking on the iTunes icon.

Installation Options

The installer displays several installation options. In most cases, you’ll want to install all of the software and files on the disc.

The installer places a VidiScape icon on your Windows desktop, and places a shortcut to VidiScape in your Start menu.

The iSee software disc contains:

Driver files and other firmware that are installed on your iPod to let the iSee work with your computer.

Sample video, pictures, and music—including a convenient tutorial video—that load automatically onto your iPod, so you can get started using your iSee right away.

VidiScape software for your computer that lets you manage your media files (video, music, and photos) and download them to the iSee. VidiScape also converts those media files into formats that your iSee can play.

ArcSoft MediaConverter software that is used by VidiScape to convert a wide variety of media files for the iSee.

DirectX 9, which is required by VidiScape. You don’t need to install this if you already have DirectX 9 on your computer.

If Asked to Restart Your Computer

Depending on your computer’s current configuration and what you install, you may be asked to restart your computer when a particular installation step is complete. You can safely wait until you’ve installed all software on your computer before you restart. (In other words, you only have to restart once!)
