42 Tips and Tricks
Video Email
Use your ALL-IN-WONDER 128 or ALL-IN-WONDER 128
PRO to capture a video clip, which you then attach to an email
message for your family and friends.
Because video files can be very large, you should use a small
capture size – 240x160 or smaller – and the card’s video
compression features to reduce the file size (see Capturing
video and still images in the Using Your ATI Multimedia Center
User’s Guide).
•
Indeo 3.2
or
4.1
are popular compression codecs (encoder-
decoders) that can dramatically reduce the file size while
maintaining good quality. Any Windows 95 / Windows 98
system will play Indeo 3.2.
• If you use the
ATI VCR 1.0
or
2.0
codec to compress your
video on-the-fly, you must ensure that the receiving computer
can play these files back.
• MPEG-1 is also a standard format, which most Windows
and Macintosh
computers can play.
Stop-Motion Animation
Using the TV Player’s
sequence capture
feature, you can take a
series of still shots and save them as an .AVI movie. You can
use this feature to easily produce a “claymation” or other work-
in-progress type of movie. See To record a sequence of frames
(stop-motion) in the Using Your Multimedia Center User’s
Guide.
Note
Macrovision
Please note that the ALL-IN-WONDER 128 and
ALL-IN-WONDER 128 PRO detect Macrovision on
an input video source, and will refuse to capture
video from such a source. Many VHS tapes and
DVD discs are protected with Macrovision, which
protects them from being copied onto your
computer using the ALL-IN-WONDER 128 or
ALL-IN-WONDER 128 PRO.
