[. . . ] DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. You should not use disk compression if you are planning to work with DVgate. Title data is saved in the flash memory of a digital video camera and is not transferred to tape by DVgate software. 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. 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. 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. 52 DVgateTM Using DVgate to record AVI files to tape Do not use DVgate software when the connected digital video device is in Timer Recording mode, as this could produce a malfunction in the device. You can record only AVI files. MPEG files cannot be recorded. To avoid recording problems, such as a single frame appearing in multiple frames, close other applications on your system while recording. You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. If you have AVI files that use different audio modes, they cannot be recorded at the same time, but must be recorded separately. Do not attempt to work with AVI files that are smaller than 4 MB. DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk compression if you are planning to work with DVgate. In order to maximize recording capabilities, video and audio data are not available while you are recording. If DVgate software indicates that frames have been dropped, close all open applications, or defragment your hard drive.
