Using Smart Capture to Send Still and Video Images by E-mail
To send images by e-mail using the MAIL button in Smart Capture, you
must first set up your e-mail software to send and receive mail. When
sending a video image to a recipient for the first time, you must include
the VDOWave3 Codec decoder. When compressing the image, select the
Attach decoder check box on the Compressed Images Advanced Settings
screen. The decoder allows the recipient to view the compressed video
image.
If you use an online service provider such as America Online or other
non-MAPI-compliant e-mail so f tware, use the SAVE button to save the
image as a file and then attach the file to your e-mail message. When
sending a video image to a recipient for the first time, you must include
the VDOWave3 Codec decoder. The file name is VDODecode3 0.exe and is
located in C:\Program Files\Sony\Smart Capture\Decoder.
In order for the recipient of a video image to view your file, the recipient
must first install the VDOWave3 Codec decoder by running the
executable file (VDODecode30.exe). The recipient can verify the
installation by opening the Multi media Component of the Control Panel.
The list of Video Compression Codecs under the Devices tab should
include the entry “VDOn et VDOWave3 (Scalable) Advanced Video
Codec”.
