Use MP3 (LAME) format for output​

VideoCapture1.OutputFormat := Format_LAME;
VideoCapture1.OutputFormat = VisioForge_Video_Capture_5.TxVFOutputFormat.Format_LAME;

Set audio capture mode​

VideoCapture1.Mode := Mode_Audio_Capture;
VideoCapture1.Mode = VisioForge_Video_Capture_5.TxVFMode.Mode_Audio_Capture;

Start capture​

VideoCapture1.Start;
VideoCapture1.Start();
