How do I cut clips of what I need from record file?
A. Open the MPEG file that needs to be edited first, and move the "S" and "E"
slider bars to begin trimming the movie.
Why is the file created by PowerVCRII V3.0 with "plt"?
A. "plt" means "Playlist". Because of the inherent of the Windows operating
system in handling files over 2GB, PowerVCRII will automatically save and
chunk your video files into 600MB files if the file’s size crosses this limit.
Thus, when you select the appropriate playlist for playback, you won't
notice the difference during playback as all the files are played
continuously leaving you worry-free from video file sizes and constraints.
For conversion feature, is there any limitation of file size about the
resource file, such as AVI files?
A. No. There is no file size limitation for the convert resource.
There are two modes of video setups in PowerVCR II: Video Overlay
and Video Preview. What are the differences between these two
modes for recording MPEG files?
A. The Video Overlay mode means the superimposition of computer graphics
over a live or recorded signal and storing the resulting video image on
hard disk. Therefore, the result is that motion in video content is
smoother. Whether you will view video in this mode (via Video Overlay)
depends on the capability of your display card. For display cards
implemented with new specification such as the AGP bus display cards,
they usually support this function. In addition, you need to install
Microsoft DirectX and DirectDraw before we can smoothly run in this
mode. However, there are still some display cards that are not capable of
displaying video properly under the video overlay mode. Most of the time,
this situation is caused by the conflict between the driver of the hardware
capture device and the display card. If this happens, PowerVCR II will
automatically switch to preview mode. As for PowerVCR II, it does not
affect its functionality regardless of what modes you are using when
recording MPEG-1 files.
