The idea is to hook up to your video in and select a region that you want to grab, then select Grab. After it grabs all the images, it will ask you for a filename and then create the
directory with each image properly named. Then double-click on the animation and Icon.app or Movie.app can handle the rest. \
Remember that if you want to do something stupid, something stupid will happen
keep in mind your system resources.\
How fast can I grab? Under optimal circumstances this will grab about 6 frames per second. (Optimal = small image area and gobs of memory.) Icon.app only allows for 99 frames, and even a moderate system will grab that. My development system has enough RAM to hold 22 640x480 frames in Icon without swapping, but Capture only manages to grab about 3 frames per second. Thus the output is far from smooth.\
My sincerest apologies to PAL users. You'll have to use dwrite's and set the following:\
dwrite Capture MaximumXOrigin xxx\
dwrite Capture MaximumYOrigin xxx\
dwrite Capture MaximumWidth xxx\
dwrite Capture MaximumHeight xxx\
where 'xxx' is some number useful. The default values are:\
MaximumXOrigin 590\
MaximumYOrigin 492\
MaximumWidth 640\
MaximumHeight 480\

Remember that this software is provided free and without any guarantees or implied fit for use. It is known to wreak havoc on swapfiles. Further NeXT seems to have broken something in the NXLiveVideo view or the NDdriver with 3.2 which makes me less than confident about it's reliabilty. Check your console if you're in doubt.
