When recording AVI files to tape

Do not use DVgate when the connected digital video device is in Timer Recording mode, as this could produce a malfunction in the device.

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.
