9.3 edITIng VIdeO fIles
Video les recorded with the ARCHOS DVR Station or Travel Adapter can be edited by deleting the sections
you do not wish included. The editing you can do is either cropping or cutting of particular segments of the
video le.
You will mark a segment of your video le, and then you will tell the ARCHOS to delete everything except
the marked segment or to delete the marked segment from the video le. These operations can be done mul-
tiple times on the same video le.
Once nished, you will have the option to save the edit marks with the video or to write a new video le. If
you save your le with edit marks, you can always go back and change your edits at another time. The actual
video information is not deleted. On the other hand, you can write a new le which will only include the
video parts that you specied in the edit session. This le will be smaller but you can never un-edit it.
