Windows Platform
- Supports only Windows 2003, 2000, XP non-server version. Windows 98, ME works OK with GV250/600/650/800 and software versions prior to 5.4, but captured frame rate will get reduced.
Video Cards
- Any AGP or PCI-Express video card that supports DirectX 9.0 or above with overlay video. De-interlace function support is a preferred option.
- Some (20%) on-board video chip works OK, but make sure it supports overlay function, and DirectX 9.0. Try to get the latest drivers. If it doesn't work, you would have to use an AGP or PCI Express video card.
- GV250, GV600 GV650 GV800: Use NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX200 32MB or equivalent video card.
- GV1120, 1240, 1480: Use ATI Radeon 9500 or above.

- GV250, GV600, GV650, GV-800 P4 2.0GHZ. If you use 320x240 pixels only, you can use lesser CPU power. But if you encode at 640x480 pixels or 720x480 pixels, follow the above requirement.
