For older WinTV PVR PCI cards the user must set the DVCR Record File Path to Posm’s Video directory.

For most pipeline inspections “MPEG1 VCD” provides a good combination of file size and video quality. For higher resolution and larger file sizes use the DVD settings. If MPEG1 is still desired, but at a higher bit rate than VCD (1500
KB/s) use the Advanced to make a custom profile.
