Quadra 660AV: Capturing Video Frame Problem (12/93)

I'm trying to capture a video frame at 640 x 480 using the Video Monitor
application. Video Monitor will not let me capture a video frame while my
monitor is set to Thousands of Colors. I must set my monitor to 256 colors
(8-Bit) to capture a frame of video. How many colors will my frame capture
contain once it is saved to the hard disk?

The Macintosh Centris 660AV and Quadra 660AV come with 1MB of VRAM on the
logic board, which is not expandable. When bringing video into the Centris
660AV and Quadra 660AV, you must set your monitor to 256 Colors (8-Bit) when
using both Video Monitor and FusionRecorder. Even though your monitor is set
to 256 Colors (8-Bit), you will be capturing your image or movie in Thousands
of Colors (16-Bit).
