Hard Drive Partition
When recording AVI files to tape:
Do not use DVgate when the connected digital video peripheral is in Timer Recording mode, as this could produce a malfunction in the peripheral.
You can record only AVI files. MPEG files cannot be recorded. | |
To avoid recording problems, such as a single frame appearing in multiple | |
frames, close other applications on your system while recording. | |
You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. If you have AVI files | |
that use different audio modes, they cannot be recorded at the same time, but | |
must be recorded separately. | |
Do not attempt to work with AVI files that are smaller than 4 MB. | |
| DVgate does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk |
| compression if you are planning to work with DVgate. |
In order to maximize recording capabilities, video and audio data are not
available while you are recording.
If DVgate indicates that frames have been dropped, close all open applications, or defragment your hard drive.
Hard Drive Partition
In order to improve the performance of your computer’s DVgate software, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. DVgate saves files to the D partition. This prevents large video captures from consuming the available space on your C partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate, you should defragment your D partition regularly.
