Installation Procedure ====================== Please refer to the User's Guide for instructions on how to install the VideOh! DVD AVC-2210. 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 using a 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. - 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. - Windows 98SE users only - You might get the following error, "MYDVD caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff9db61.", when you quit the MyDVD application after doing a capture. There will be no problem with your project. - Windows 98SE, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 users only - If you are doing a "video only" capture with MyDVD, the video might show some blocky images (block artifacts). 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. - Windows 2000 and Windows XP users only - If you edit a MPEG1 file through ShowBiz the audio/video of the edited file may be out of sync. 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.Download Driver Pack
