To use DVgateTM software with a digital video camcorder Under the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system, do not capture DVAVI 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 DVgateTM 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.

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.
