File : Enter the path where you want to store captured video followed by a file name stem. Do not add the extension. Kino generates a sequence number and optionally a timestamp that it appends to the stem file name. It also generates the file extension: .avi , .mov or .dv .

File Type : Kino only supports Raw DV, DV AVI, and Quicktime DV file formats.

	Important
	Quicktime support requires libquicktime or Quicktime 4 Linux .

You can choose between standard Type 1 or Type 2 AVI formats. Type 2 is more compatible with other applications because it creates a separate interleaved audio stream. However, if you are only capturing for Kino use or for another program that supports type 1, then choose it because DV natively interleaves audio with the video, and the audio stream in type 2 is redundant. MPlayer and Avifile only playback type 2 AVI. Current versions of Windows DirectShow do support type 1, but Windows application support for type 1 is inconsistent.

	Note
	The OpenDML option only applies to Type 2. OpenDML allows for very large files (greater than 1GB), and Kino automatically switches to OpenDML if it detects the file size will exceed 1GB. Type 1 is natively OpenDML.

Auto Split Files : Generate a new file whenever Kino detects a new scene while capturing video. Scene detection uses a special flag in the DV stream that indicates the start of a new recording in addition to a discontinuity in the timecode of the DV stream.

Put Timestamp In File Name : If enabled, Kino appends a date and time to the base file name specified above. It uses the recording date and time in the DV stream if it is valid; otherwise, it falls back to using the current system date and time.

Write Every : This is time-lapse record function. If entered, Kino skips N frames between capturing a single frame and adding it to the file.

Frames per File : Set the maximum number of frames a single file is to contain. Kino will automatically split capture into multiple files if the number of frames in this setting is exceed. Set to zero to not use frame count as a criteria for file splitting.

Max File Size : Set the maximum number of megabytes a single file is to contain. Kino will automatically split capture into multiple files if the maximum size in this setting is exceeded. Kino supports very large file sizes exceeding 2GB. Set to zero to not use file size as a criteria for file splitting. If both this and Frames per File are set to zero and Auto Split disabled, you can capture very large files limited only by the usual 64 bit and physical constraints.
