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.
❑ 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.
