Reducing Video File Size
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a
substantial amount of disk space for each file. After re-
cording video, check the video file size (right-click the
file and select Properties) and the remaining free space
on your hard disk (go to Computer, right-click the hard
disk, and select Properties). If necessary you can re-
move the recorded video file to a removable medium e.g.
CD, DVD or USB Flash drive.
Note that the Windows Vista system requires a minimum
of 15GB of free space on the C: drive system partition.
In order to prevent system problems it is recommended
that you save the captured video file to a location other
than the C: drive (see “Set Capture File” on page 26),
limit the file size of the captured video or reduce video
resolution.
To Reduce Video Resolution Output Size:
1. Run the BisonCap program.
2. Go to Options and scroll down to select Video Capture
Pin....
3. Click the Output Size drop box and select a lower
resolution size in order to reduce the captured file size.
