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
============

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

- Windows Me users only - If ArcSoft ShowBiz does not install after MyDVD 
  installation is completed, uninstall MyDVD and re-install MyDVD again.


Previewing and Capturing of Video
----------------------------------
- If you are doing a long-term capture 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.


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.

- 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-2210 is connected to a USB 2.0 
  port that uses Windows USB 2.0 drivers, your system may report that the 
  AVC-2210 has been removed when you resume from suspend/standby/hibernate 
  mode.  Power off the AVC-2210, then power on again to continue. Update 
  Windows XP with the latest service pack to eliminate the problem.

- Windows Me, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 users only - If the AVC-2210 is
  connected to a USB 2.0 port that uses Adaptec USB 2.0 drivers, your system
  may report that the AVC-2210 cannot be found when you resume from standby
  or hibernate mode. Power off the AVC-2210, then power on again to continue.
