Please note that as of Release 13 of our software, Pixelink Capture no longer supports encoded video capture. Please use our Video Capture app for encoded video capture. You can still use Pixelink Capture for unencoded video capture.
The "Video Tab" allows the user to capture and display "Video Clips" or group of frames (partial or full), and save the clip to be previewed on a later date.
For help recording your first video, please see Recording Your First Video.
