WebCam Monitor: Video Properties
with Sony DV Camcorders |
| |
Q. |
I just purchased WebCam
Monitor and as a developer, I am very pleased
with the interface and overall product. Nice work!
However, I am having difficulty in one area.
I am using a Sony DV Camcorder (source) which
is driven by:
Driver File: msdv.sys
File Version: 5.1.2600.0 (XPClient, etc)
When Monitoring is stopped, I try to open "Tools,
Video Properties, etc" and everything is
disabled on the form. I want to set the screen
size capture to something much lower than full-size.
Even with a high compressor, the file sizes
are huge.
Please provide a solution to this issue ASAP,
I am trying to catch a vandalist without maxing
out hard drive space. |

The Video Properties
dialog box is a part of the DV camera's driver.
The dialog box differs in different makes of DV
cameras and their drivers. You can try updating
the driver by visiting the camera manufacturer's
website. Changing the dimension depends entirely
on the camera driver's capability. |
|
| |
|
Another option is to
capture to Windows Media Format instead of the
default - AVI. This will reduce the capture size
considerably. |
|
| |
|
In one of the future
releases of WebCam Monitor will include options
to resize video output even when this is not supported
by the driver. |

|
| Video Edit Magic
provides a flexible 9-track timeline – 2 Video
tracks, 2 Video Effect tracks, 1 Video Transition track,
2 Audio tracks and 2 Audio Volume track. These tracks
represent Video, Video Effect, Video Transition and
Audio depending on their types. One Video Effect track
is associated with every Video track. Video Effects
added to these tracks change the appearance of the Video
added to the Video track. |
|
| A timeline is a
graph that represents time across its length. The timeline
represents Videos, Audios, Effects and Transitions (commonly
referred to as Sources) as bars in their respective
tracks. The length of the bar represents duration. Different
sources laid out for different durations on the timeline
constitute your final movie. |
|
| Video Edit Magic’s
Volume Tracks are a very powerful yet simple-to-use
method to create Audio effects and transitions. A volume
track changes the volume of its corresponding audio
track partially or completely. Using the volume tracks
in Video Edit Magic, you can increase the volume of
an audio track to 400% (200% for Video Edit Magic 2.6
and below) and decrease it to 0% of the original volume.
|
|
| The volume tracks
remain hidden by default. To view the volume tracks,
click the small white triangle present besides every
volume track. Click this triangle again to hide the
volume track. |
