What is video capture software ?

Video capture software is a type of application program that allows you to capture video images from camcorders and VCRs and store them in personal computers running under the Windows® operating system. These images can be transferred from the video source to the computer via a standard RS-232C communication interface. By processing the captured images with commercially available image editing software, you can create your own unique and highly personal illustrations and graphics for incorporation into everything from postcards to newsletters and Internet homepages. What’s more, you can also use your computer to edit your original video recording and produce a fun-to-watch, professional-looking video pro- gramme.
