Now that you have your camera installed you can use it to capture short movies called AVI files that can 
be saved directly to the PC. The length of time you can record an AVI while the camera is connected to 
your computer will vary, depending on how much hard drive space you will use to save the file. Please 
take note that these AVI files take up a lot of hard drive space. This is done through the PhoTags 
WebCam Express program. This next section will walk you though capturing an AVI file.
