Chapter 7: AVI Capture Options and
Settings
When capturing uncompressed AVI files, ensure your system’s hard drive speed can keep up
with the data you capture. If not, the capture file drops frames and loses quality. Developers
recommend a 10,000-RPM IDE hard disk or above for full resolution uncompressed SD capture.
You should also defragment your hard drive regularly.
