How Do I ....
If you are using a Pal* or NTSC* MiniDV camera (uses a small tape) then there are no
settings.
If you are using a Pal camera with a Video to USB Converter then look for YUY2 at 720 x 576
at 25 Hz.
If you are using a NTSC camera with a Video to USB Converter then look for YUY2 at 720 x
480 at 30 Hz (or 29.97 Hz).
If you can't find those then look for 640 x 480 and 25 Hz (Pal) or 30Hz (NTSC).
Anything less than 640 x 480 will result in a bad video image and pixelation (looks 'blocky').
Anything less than 25 Hz will result in video that appears to stutter or be jerky.
Web cams (inbuilt or external) may or may not work but they do not provide a good image or a
fast enough shutter so the video will look blurred and sluggish.
I can't see a video image
If you don't see any video image in Step 2 then try a different setting and wait about 20 seconds for a
refresh. Try a few settings.
If you still don't see a video image or don't see any Devices at all then go to "How do I get my
camera to work?"
Currently the Audio Settings are disabled so sound will not be captured with the video.
*Pal is mainly in New Zealand, Australia, UK, parts of Europe and others. NTSC is mainly in USA,
Canada, Japan and others.
