Additional Information about using DVgate software
 Turn off the power to your digital video camcorder before connecting it to your computer. After connecting the
device, turn its power back on. You do not need to turn off the computer when connecting the camcorder.
 DVgate software does not support MICROMV digital video cameras.
 Under the Microsoft ® Windows ® XP operating system, do not capture DV- AVI video files to the root directory (the top
level) of your hard disk drive. Instead, create a folder and capture files to this folder.
 Do not use DVgate software when the connected digital video device is in Timer Recording mode, as this may
produce a malfunction in the device.
 Video captures larger than 2 GB (9 minutes and 30 seconds) are automatically continued in a second file.
 You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video, or you can add audio on the stereo 2 track after
capturing the video data.
 You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. Perform a separate capture for each audio mode you wish
to use.
 DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk compression if you are planning to work
with DVgate software.
 Title data is saved in the flash memory of a digital video camera and is not transferred to tape by DVgate software.
 Disable your screen saver program to avoid interruption during your capture sessions.
 The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate compensation adjustments for tapes recorded in
LP mode.
 The information displayed by the capture progress indicator may not be accurate for tapes that are recorded using a
mixture of both SP and LP modes.
 Keep the video head of your digital video device properly cleaned. Anomalies that you see in captured data may be
due to dust or other particles on the video head.
