Video Editing Tips ================== Use Sonic MyDVD to capture your videos onto your hard drive, trim 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 ============ Previewing and Capturing of Video ---------------------------------- - If you are doing a long-term captures and you notice that the audio and video are out of sync, Adaptec recommends that you do multiple shorter captures instead of one long one. - Some systems may have problems previewing audio and video in the Capture window and the preview may appear choppy or you might hear a little "popping" sound. However, 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 correct this issue. Check the manufacturer's Web site for driver updates for your video and/or audio card. - In WinDVR, Closed Caption text will not display during recording or in timeshift mode. - 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. - If you open WinDVR for the first time without first powering on the AVC-2310 device, the Display Window will appear in gray. To resolve this problem, close WinDVR, power on the AVC-2310 device, and relaunch WinDVR. Then go to the WinDVR Setup menu and click on the Default button for Video Display settings. Editing Video and Burning of Media ---------------------------------- - When a clip is edited in ShowBiz and is brought into MyDVD, both ShowBiz and MyDVD will be minimized and will appear in the Taskbar as icons. To maximize the MyDVD window, click on the MyDVD Taskbar icon. - When burning DVDs with Sonic MyDVD, some USB 2.0 DVD burners may not completely burn a DVD if it is connected to a USB 2.0 port on the motherboard. To solve this issue, try updating your system with the latest Microsoft USB 2.0 drivers. Suspend and Resume ------------------ - Windows XP SP1 users only — If the AVC-2310 device is connected to a USB 2.0 port that uses Microsoft USB 2.0 drivers, your system may report that the AVC-2310 has been removed when you resume from suspend/standby/hibernate mode. Power off the AVC-2310, then power on again to continue. Update Windows XP with the latest service pack to eliminate the problem. - Windows XP and Windows 2000 users only — If the AVC-2310 device is connected to a USB 2.0 port that uses Adaptec USB 2.0 drivers, your system may report that the AVC-2310 cannot be found when you resume from standby or hibernate mode. Power off the AVC-2310, then power on again to continue. - If your computer enters hibernate mode, your AVC-2310 device will not be able to start a scheduled recording in WinDVR. Adaptec recommends that you disable hibernation from the Power Options Control Panel. Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions. Uninstallation -------------- - Uninstalling MyDVD will not uninstall ArcSoft ShowBiz. You must uninstall ArcSoft ShowBiz separately, using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. - When you are uninstalling WinDVR, you'll see an error message: "Locked/Shared File Detected".
