- \item Choose \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences} and then the \texttt{Recording} tab in the Preferences menu (figure~\ref{fig:recordingx}).
- \item Choose a \textit{File Format} --- a common suggestion is \textit{ffmpeg} with a \textit{file type} of \texttt{mp4}. In some cases depending on your capture card, the File Format will be set to \textit{MPEG stream} capture. Some formats support MPEG stream capture technique, otherwise the data has to be decoded first and then encoded.
- \item Check that the \textit{Audio In} section has the \texttt{Record Driver} set to \texttt{Alsa} with \texttt{Device} set to \texttt{default} as the Capture Source. If you are using something besides Alsa, change that selection accordingly. This may not always be default and you may have to change to something else based on your specific hardware. It has to match up what you see in our Control Panel on your computer. So for example, if your device is HDMI, than the \texttt{default} could be \texttt{HDMI}\dots instead.
- \item In the \textit{Video In} section, change the\texttt{ Record Driver} to whatever makes sense for your capture card. The test case for the CX23418 would use Video4Linux2 MPEG. If unknown what your card uses, you should experiment with Video4Linux2 or Screencapture as good possibilities.
- \item Also, \texttt{Device path} should be verified to be correct in case you have more than 1 device.
