AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) is the Microsoft Windows format for saved video. Webcam32 can create AVI files containing images captured from the video capture device. In the AVI settings dialog, the configuration of the AVI video saved and viewed may be configured. The Playback frames/sec attribute specifies the default frame rate that will be used to replay the saved images. When Webcam32 creates an AVI file, the frames in the file may be saved Compressed or Uncompressed. Compressed AVI files are smaller when saved to disk but usually have a lower quality output. The AVI File name specifies the name of the file used to hold the target output.
The AVI Timer settings are used to control creation of the resulting AVI file by timer control. If the AVI Timer check box is selected then a frame is saved every Frame Interval milliseconds. If not selected, then frames are added to the AVI file when delivered by HTTP or FTP.
After configuring this panel, frames are still not saved to the AVI file. To save the frames to the AVI file, the AVI start button on the main Webcam32 window must be pressed. Following this:
In addition to starting the AVI saving from the Webcam32 main panel, the Timers button may be pressed to select a set of real world clock times at which the AVI saving will be started automatically.
The AVI options settings allows the caption and/or the overlay image to be included in the frames saved to the AVI file.
