- Sorta but no. Moving video isn't its best option to garb at, still's
- however are very good. You can grab in 320x200, 640x680, and 1500x1100 (or
- close to that). You have a number of capture options: moving still, basic
- still, quality still, very high quality still, and really high quality
- still. Then after you take the grab you can play with the color values,
- adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, tint, picture and then save out to a
- number of formats: tif, gif, jpg, bmp etc etc....

- No.
