Additional information about the Timer Recording Wizard
❑
Giga Pocket requires approximately 30 seconds (pre-recording) preparation
time prior to beginning each recording session. Please keep this in mind
when setting up multiple, back-to-back recording sessions. Giga Pocket
stops the current timer recording, pauses to prepare, and then begins the next
timer recording according to the set start time. The length of your first Video
Capsule is approximately 30 seconds shorter than the actual time set.
You may experience some timing problems with multiple recording sessions
when the second timer recording is preset as a daily or weekly recorded
event. The first timer recording may end as early as 60 seconds sooner than
the set stop time.
❑
Scheduled daily or weekly timer recording sessions do not occur if your hard
disk drive does not have sufficient space. Giga Pocket does not allow a new
Video Capsule to be created if there is less than 50 MB of free space on the
hard disk drive. These scheduled events resume at their scheduled time, as
hard disk drive space becomes available.
❑
Approximately three minutes before Giga Pocket begins a timer recording
and during a timer recording, you must avoid:
❑
Starting up or using other software applications.
❑
Setting up, changing, or deleting timer recordings.
❑
All activities that may access the hard disk drive, such as copying files.
Video Explorer
The Video Explorer application serves as a file manager, and stores recorded
Video Capsules as well as saved Playlists in Cabinets.
Video Explorer enables you to play back Video Capsules using Giga Video
Recorder, and to play back a Playlist created using Playlist Builder. You can also
import AVI or MPEG files, and export Video Capsules as AVI or MPEG files.
