Frequently asked questions Easy Photo Grabber 1.4.0:

What is the precision of the interval ?

You can adjust the time interval to a minimum setting of  0,10 seconds, however performance and timeraccuracy are dependent on picture format and your harddisk and processor speed. If the time interval is too fast for your computer, the interval time setting will be adjusted to the actual minimum grabbing time for that picture format. 

How many pictures can Easy Photo Grabber store on harddisk ?          

Easy Photo Grabber can store up to 320.000 pictures divided into 64 directories. This means that if you continue grabbing 24 hours a day, with an interval time of one second, a 3.7 days videoarchive can be recorded onto harddisk.

Which capture cards are compatible with Easy Photo Grabber ?               

MSL Soft does not keep a record of compatible capturecards. All video capture cards based on the Brooktree 848/878/879 capturechip (like the Hauppage (tv)cards) or all other cards that work with Video For Windows drivers should work well with the program.

Does Easy Photo Grabber 1.4.0  work  with all windows versions ?                 

Yes, the program is designed to work with Video For Windows drivers. For Win 2000/XP, VFW is supported by means of a "built-in wrapper" to keep compatibility with older programs that make use of VFW commands. Because the processor load increases in this way, it is recommended to use a faster computer or processor (+1.5 MHz). You can also use a generic WDM driver see "links" page.

Can I run other programs at the same time on my computer ?            

It is possible but not recommended. You can run other programs but much is dependent on the picture format, intervaltime of the program and the speed of your computer.    

Does Easy Photo Grabber 1.4.0 support more than one camera ?  

The program is designed to work with one camera. Although it is possible to connect muliple camera to a capturecard that support the input of more than one camera. Usually the videosignal is multiplexed, so you get a 4 in 1 picture (quadpicture). Example : when you grab in 640x480 mode, the resolution of each picture(4 total) drops to 320x240.
