When you use MotionDV STUDIO
When you capture video from a tape onto a PC with the video
editing software "MotionDV STUDIO 5.1E LE for DV" in the
CD-ROM (supplied), the frames may be dropped and the audio
may skip depending on the environment of the PC or conditions
of the hard disk.
In this case, we recommend setting the capture saving method to
[If some frames are missing, rewind and join them up] with the
following procedure before use.
• We recommend that you use a Hard Disk with a specification of
7200 RPM.
1
Start the MotionDV STUDIO 5.1E LE for DV and then
click the [Settings] icon on the left of the screen.
(Or select [Tool] >> [Setting] on the top of the screen.)
2
Click [Input tape] tab on the setting screen and select
[If some frames are missing, rewind and join them up]
on the [Capture saving method].
If the video camera repeats rewinding the tape several
times or captures different images when you wish to
capture the video on a tape to the PC after you have tried
the above procedure, please try to do the following:
1.
Defragment the PC.
Select [Start] >> [All Programs (Programs)] >> [Accessories]
>> [System Tools] >> [Disk Defragmenter (Defrag)], then select
the volume (disk) to be defragmented, and click [Defragment].

When software other than MotionDV STUDIO (e.g. resident
software, and application software) is running, frame drop
may occur. We recommend closing that software.
3.

[Desktop] >> [Customize Desktop] >> [Web], and uncheck the
checkbox in [Web pages].
(Depending on the OS, right-click the desktop, select
