AVI-IO - The "File" menu


This page describes the file menu of avi-io in detail.



"Capture settings" brings up a dialog where you can define what size your avi files will have, how they will be named and several other things.

"Player settings" brings up a dialog where you can define up to 100 avi files (trial 3) which can be seamlessly played in a row. You can set the size of the video on screen as well as other options

"Play video" actually starts the playback. AVI-IO checks once more if all files in the list conform to each other, fills it's internal cache, and prompts you with a little message box which finally let you start or abort the operation.

"Timer settings" brings up a dialog where you can define up to 100 timers to define recording event's. They might be event's which happen only once, or might be defined to happen regularly. See the description of the Timer settings Dialog for more details on how to configure timers.

"Station settings" brings up a dialog where you can define up to 255 TV-Stations. Note, this menue is grayed out if the current capture device is not supporting tuning to stations, or in case it's using a different technology to tune to a station than what AVI-IO supports.

"Load settings" let you load a previously stored configuration. With this feature and together with the save settings option you can store and load settings on a project base.

"Save Settings" permanently stores all settings you made under the "Capture settings" Dialog, the "Player settings" Dialog, the "Timer settings" Dialog, the "Station settings" as well as the current audio and video settings and the "Device" used. The settings are stored in a file called "avi-io.ini" which resides in the same directory as avi-io.exe or avi-io-trial.exe respectively. Note, that the settings you store using the trial version will be valid and can be used by the full version of avi-io.

"Save Settings as..." pop's up a file selector wizard which let you store all settings you made using a filename and location of your choice. This is handy to let you store the configurations on a "project" base.

"Exit" allows you to leave avi-io.
