Using Alternate Browsers with America Online® To use Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator as your browser with America Online, follow these steps: 1. From the Start menu, point to Settings and then click Control Panel. Click the "Connect to the Internet using local area network" radio button. Click OK. Using DVgate Motion When capturing images: Do not use DVgate Motion when the connected digital video peripheral is in Timer Recording mode, since this could produce a malfunction in the peripheral. The maximum length of AVI files that you can record is approximately 9 minutes 30 seconds. You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video. You cannot add audio on the stereo 2 track after capturing the video data. You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. You should perform a separate capture for each audio mode you wish to use. DVgate Motion does not support hard disk compression. You should not use disk compression if you are planning to work with DVgate Motion. Title data is saved in the flash memory of a digital video camera and is not transferred to tape by DVgate Motion. To avoid interruption of capture sessions, you should disable the screen saver. The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate compensation adjustments for tapes recorded in LP mode. Page 445 For tapes that include a mixture of both SP and LP mode, the information displayed by the capture progress indicator may not be accurate. Make sure the video head of your digital video device is properly cleaned. Anomalies that you see in captured data could be due to dust or other particles on the video head. o 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. When recording AVI files to tape: Do not use DVgate Motion when the connected digital video peripheral is in Timer Recording mode, as this could produce a malfunction in the peripheral. o You can record only AVI files.
