For more information on DVgate software, see the DVgate online help. Adjusting image resolution If the images on the LCD do not display smoothly, the resolution may not be set correctly. To check the resolution, click the Setup button in the DVgate Motion-Monitor window. Point to Settings, and then select Low Resolution. The settings you change in this menu affect the images in the monitor window only. Movie data imported to your hard drive and images recorded to DV devices will not be affected. Hard disk drive partition In order to improve the performance of your computer's DVgateTM motion software, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. The C partition holds 40 percent and the D partition holds 60 percent of the entire drive capacity. DVgate software saves files to the D partition. This prevents large video capture from consuming the available space on your C partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate, you should defragment or format the D partition regularly. 48 DVgate application notes To defragment a partition Before you begin to defragment a partition, make sure you back up all files that you want to save.
