Technical Notes
|
 |
Only Audio recording
You can use the characteristics
Hardware of your sound-card to record in PCM-WAV format. And later you will
convert in MP3 or whichever other format using "Converi" function of Windows
"Sound recorder" or whichever other program of conversion. You can also
record a "Standard" Audio CD using a program released together to your CD
master (ie. Roxio, Nero, etc). |
|
|
Video/Audio recording
You can record the video using the same WebCam that
already used for chat and audio using your sound-card. Captured video is
recorded in AVI format using compression Video-Audio codecs, therefore is
editabile and convertibile using whichever video editor (ie.
®Microsoft Movie Maker) |
|
|
Audio-Video recording is available in
ADVanced and PROfessional versions while it is demo (time limited to 15
sec.) in the Junior version. |

KarAll is a "CPU intensive" application. Means that several
functionalities need of much CPU-Time to works. New recording functions
also need very much CPU-Time. We executed some tests for only Audio
recording using ®Pentium-III and it's ok. But for Video recording
functionalities must use a ®Pentium-IV PC, at least of 2,5Ghz if use "Live-View"
function. We advise you to activate the "Task manager" during the tests;
if CPU-Time-used is constantly over 75% the functions could have problems
and loss part of the captured Audio-Video data or slowing or
stop 'application. Moreover, if the captured video seems type "Slow-Motion"
don't depend from program oy from operating system, normally it depends on
the WebCam that does not have the characteristics to captuire a sufficient
number of photograms for second (norm. 15 fps); you can check for this
problem from capture statistics if a high percentage of photograms
discarded. |
|
Recording functionalities depends completely from some
Windows modules, drivers of the Sound-card/Webcam and Audio-Video "Codecs"
installed on your PC. In some cases could be errors for
incompatibility between they or for not Windows certification. We have
noticed that several codecs (MP3, DivX, XVid, etc.) are usually more
stabler in Windows XP/NT/2000 rather than Windows 95/98/Me. In some case
you can try to solve problems installing newest version or changing
combination of Audio/Video Codecs. |
|
We advise you to use
a little time bit first time you use this functionalities to "Tuning"
system
Don't worry, it's not very difficult ! |
