The WinTV-Capture program can use several different types of color formats
when capturing video clips. For highest capture performance, choose the YUY2
OR RGB formats. These give excellent capture image quality and frame rate, but
will give slow performance on playback of 320x240 image size videos.
YUY2 OR RGB formats are also good if you plan to edit your video clips with
Adobe Premiere or MediaStudio, and plan to compress the digital videos using
Cinepak or Indeo. If you do not plan to edit your videos and want good playback
performance, choose a smaller image size (160x120). Capture and playback perfor-
mance is determined by your system configuration, including CPU and hard disk
speed.

ing a new file name (by clicking on File/SetCaptureFile), you can start captur-
ing video by clicking on the Capture Video icon.
