[. . . ] Follow the steps to update the hardware device driver. Step 1 Click YES Step 2 Click Update Driver Step 3 Click OK Why new Drivers? The updated drivers add stability to your capture device hardware. Specifically there was a problem that occurred when a PC went to sleep or into Hibernate mode. When the PC was brought back to normal operation the capture device was not re-detected and required cycling power to the device so it could be detected by the PC. The new driver solves this issue. Direct to Disc ­ Version 2. 0 The updated Direct to Disc engine offers support for a wider variety of drives, increased overall stability and better audio sync. Updated MPEG Codec CapWiz 3. 6 ships with the latest MPEG codec for the best video quality. These are general and generational enhancements. DivX Capture CapWiz now supports capture of video into the DivX video compression format. DivX is a popular format because it achieves good quality video at high compression rates. Often times you can record 1. 5 ­ 2 hours of video in about 700 MB. Just capture the DivX file and use your normal CD burning software to write the file to the CD. DivX Capture formats ­ If you choose the generic capture setting you will capture in the DivX Portable profile which is 352 x 240 @ 768Kb/sec. In custom settings you can select the video resolution (352 x 240 or 640 x 480) and bit rates from 650 kb/sec. Note ­ Compressing to the DivX format requires extra processing power on the PC. We have found that to achieve good video captures at a CPU speed of 1. 8 GHz or equal is required. When you select DivX capture you will be advised of the CPU requirements and then be allowed to start capture. Multi-Language Support CapWiz now supports multiple languages. Choose the language of your choice during installation. Broader PAL/SECAM support CapWiz now supports all of the varieties of PAL and SECAM.
