|
| Dropped | Dropped frames during video recording indicates that |
|
| frames during | some part of the system is not fast enough to keep up |
|
| video | with the recording. Recording video is a very demanding |
|
| recording | task for even the most powerful system. To achieve the |
|
|
| best results, you must dedicate the PC to recording, and |
|
|
| ensure that nothing else is active during recording. |
|
|
| • Defragment your hard drive |
|
|
| • A large, dedicated disk is recommended if you plan to |
|
|
| do much video recording |
|
|
| • Ensure that DMA is enabled for your hard drive, to |
|
|
| improve disk access speed and free up the system |
|
|
| CPU |
|
|
| • Close all other running tasks, including those in the |
|
|
| System Tray — clock, popup reminders, virus |
|
|
| scanners, etc. |
|
|
| • Close and exit from any Task Scheduler |
|
|
| • Do not log on to your network |
|
|
| • Do not connect USB devices while recording |
|
|
| • Do not open or close |
|
|
| • Do not move the mouse while recording |
|
|
| MPEG recording requires a very fast CPU to encode |
|
|
| the video. |
|
|
| • Select I Frame Only in the Personal Video Recorder tab |
|
|
| in Setup |
|
|
| • Reduce the frame size of the recording |
|
|
| AVI recording creates very large file very quickly, and |
|
|
| requires a fast hard disk system. |
|
|
| Try a lower frame size, for example, 320x240. If you do |
|
|
| not drop frames using 320x240 frame size, but frame |
|
|
| drops do occur at larger frame sizes, your hard disk may |
|
|
| not be fast enough. |
