Video Editing Tips

your videos, and create VCDs and DVDs. Use ArcSoft ShowBiz to do 
advanced editing of your videos and add effects like transitions, 
titles, and music.


Known Issues
============

Installation
------------
- Uninstalling MyDVD will not uninstall ArcSoft ShowBiz. You must uninstall 
  ArcSoft ShowBiz separately, using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

- Windows 2000 only — An English version of WinDVR will be installed if your 
  computer is running an English version of Windows 2000, even if the operating
  system has been modified to support a language other than English.


Previewing and Capturing of Video
----------------------------------
- If you have problems previewing audio and video in the capture window,
  Updating the video and/or audio drivers for your video card and/or audio 
  card might correct this issue. Check the manufacturer's web site for driver
  updates for your video and/or audio card.

- If you are using a multi-mode PAL/NTSC VCR to do long-term captures and you 
  notice that the audio and video are out of sync, Adaptec recommends that you 
  do multiple smaller captures instead of one large one.

- When you open WinDVR, the last channel displayed during the previous session
  will appear in the Display Window, even if it's a parental locked channel.
  To avoid this problem, do not close WinDVR while viewing a locked channel;
  switch to an unlocked channel before closing WinDVR.

- Preview Volume for WinDVR will seem softer when compared to the preview 
  volume of MyDVD. This will not affect the playback volume of captured video
  that has been written to disc.

- Once a scheduled item has been recorded, that schedule entry can not be
  edited or used again. A new entry must be created for each item that is 
  to be scheduled.


Editing Video and Burning of Media
----------------------------------
- When a clip is edited in ShowBiz and is brought to MyDVD, both ShowBiz 
  and MyDVD will be minimized and will appear in the Taskbar. To maximize 
  the MyDVD window, click on the MyDVD Taskbar item.

- In MyDVD, when you use the Direct-to-Disc feature for capturing and burning,
  you must specify a time limit on the Set Record Length clock.
