DVgate Software
Connecting a digital video camcorder
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.
To use DVgate™ software with a digital video camcorder
❑
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.
❑
The last frame captured is one frame before your selected [OUT] point. The
frame you see immediately after clicking the [OUT] button is not captured.
