VDocc “drives” VirtualDub for you and makes recording much easier on devices with small screens. I have modified the “helper program” VDTimer to create an app called VDocc. Or you can select “Capture”, “Stop capture” from the menu. The easiest method is the touch keyboard… hit ESC. Or you can select “Capture”, then “Capture video” from the menu.

The easiest method is the touch keyboard… hit F6 on the touch keypad. VirtualDub will remember this setting so you this should be a one-time setting. From the menu, select “Video”, then “Compression”, then select “Lagarith Lossless codec”. After this connection is made, the “live” video should appear in VirtualDub’s capture window on the Stream. VirtualDub will “remember” this setting so you probably won’t need to do this after the first time. From the menu, select “Device”, then “USB 2821 Device”. From the main menu, select “File”, then “Capture AVI” Now we put VirtualDub in Capture Mode.Assuming you have VirtualDub shortcut on the desktop… double-click on the VirtualDub shortcut.Connect the video camera output to the yellow RCA jack of the SVID2USB2.Connect the SVID2USB2 to your computer’s USB port.

The capture steps are simple: connect the hardware, start VirtualDub, and tell VirtualDub to start/stop the capture. We now recommended VirtualDub2 instead of the original VirtualDub. Note: Windows 10 causes problems with the original VirtualDub release. Keep in mind the VirtualDub crashes on many Windows 10 computers – probably something related to the display driver on some systems. That is long enough for almost any attended occultation recording.

With the Lagarith codec the AVI file will be about 4GB for a 10 min recording. You should follow these steps at least one time to setup the capture device and verify that your setup works as expected. With this approach, you manually start/stop the capture as if you were hitting the Record button on a camcorder. Capturing Video with Virtual Dub (Basic approach)
