VAIO Digital Studio Computer User Guide
Additional information about DVgate™ software
Under the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system, do not capture DV-
❑
AVI video files to the root directory (the top level) of your hard disk drive.
Instead, create a folder and capture files to this folder.
Do not use DVgate™ software when the connected DV device is in Timer
❑
Recording mode, as this may produce a malfunction in the device.
❑
Video captures larger than 2 GB (9 minutes and 30 seconds) are
automatically continued in a second file.
You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video, or you can add
❑
audio on the stereo 2 track after capturing the video data.
You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. Perform a separate
❑
capture for each audio mode you wish to use.
DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk
❑
compression if you are planning to work with DVgate software.
Title data is saved in the flash memory of a DV device and is not transferred
❑
to tape by DVgate software.
❑
Disable your screen saver program to avoid interruption during your capture
sessions.
The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate
❑
compensation adjustments for tapes recorded in LP mode.
The information displayed by the capture progress indicator may not be
❑
accurate for tapes that are recorded using a mixture of both SP and LP
modes.
❑
Keep the video head of your DV device properly cleaned. Anomalies that
you see in captured data may be due to dust or other particles on the video
head.
The last frame captured is one frame before your selected [OUT] point. The
❑
frame you see immediately after clicking the [OUT] button is not captured.
