| + | * 16:9: "Sixteen by Nine" means the image is very wide, as in WideScreen tv's.\\ | ||

| + | My Personal Frustrations\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * "The current video capture format is not compatible with avi files." - VirtualDub 1.9.8\\ | ||
| + | * My ATI video card came with Video-In, but the video-in drivers seem quite unstable. My next card will not be ATI.\\ | ||
| + | * All your devices are detected as PAL instead of NTSC. This is my current problem. Turned out that my Hauppauge USB Gadget was not meant to be used with Skype.\\ | ||
