Notes
=====
- Please refer to the User's Guide and the Adaptec Support
  Knowledgebase (ASK) at <http://ask.adaptec.com/> for general
  troubleshooting tips.

- Newer versions of the drivers and software are posted on the
  Adaptec website as they are developed. For maximum performance and
  functionality please update to the latest drivers and software as
  they become available. Go to <http://www.adaptec.com/support> for
  more information.

- Please check your device manufacturer's web site for the latest
  updates to their software.

- While the MyDVD software and the AVC-2200 device does support hotplug
  Adaptec recommends that you do not plug or unplug the AVC-2200
  capture device while capturing or previewing video.


Documentation
=============
Much of our documentation is released in PDF format.  To view
these documents you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4 or
later installed on your system.  You can find a copy of this
software on the CD shipped with your product or you can download
the latest version from <http://www.adobe.com>.


Installation Procedure
======================
Please refer to the User's Guide for instructions on how to install
the VideOh! DVD AVC-2200 into your computer.


Video Editing Tips
==================
Use MyDVD to capture your videos onto your hard drive and create
VCDs and DVDs. Use ShowBiz to edit your videos and add other effects.
The capture function is not supported on ShowBiz.
-----
When capturing video to create a DVD-Video from an analog source (such
as VCR and VHS camcorders), we recommend that you use the "Better"
video setting in the MyDVD capture window. When you use a higher-quality
source (such as digital camcorders), we recommend using the "Best" setting.
-----


Known Issues
============
- In the audio/video capture settings of MyDVD, although the Audio Device
  field will list the system sound card, the audio is actually captured from
  the VideOh! AVC-2200.

- Some systems running at 800 MHz or less may have problems
  previewing audio and video in the capture window and the preview
  may appear choppy. While the preview may appear choppy, the
  recorded file, DVD, or VCD will not have this issue. Updating the
  video and/or audio drivers for your video card and/or audio card
  might improve this issue, so check the manufacturer's web site
  for driver updates for your video and/or audio card.

- When burning DVDs with Sonic MyDVD, some USB 2.0 DVD burners
  may not completely burn a DVD if it is connected to an "Intel PCI to USB
  Enhanced Host Controller" (Intel 82801DB I/O Controller Hub4 (ICH4))
  USB 2.0 port. To solve this issue, update to the newest Microsoft USB 2.0
  drivers for Windows XP SP1 or Windows 2000 SP3.

- When previewing a project in MyDVD before burning, the video may show
  interlacing artifacts in the video ("feathering" or "tearing" along the edges of
  objects, especially during motion). However, these artifacts will not be present
  when played back from the finished (burned) disc.

- 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.
