Q15. Is there a way to get Windows Media Player or any other
editing program to recognize the "avseq01.dat" file created
by the VDR-3000?
The file name and extension of the raw mpeg file can be renamed
to a "*.mpg" extension. Windows Media Player is able to recognize this format.
Note: This will only work with mpeg-1 formats (VCD and HQ-VCD Modes)
that are created on the VDR-3000.
To achieve this, follow the directions below:
Explore your VCD or HQ-VCD disk in Windows Explorer
Look for a folder called "MPEGAV" (this is where each track of *.dat files
are saved in) Copy the AVSEQ01.DAT file to C:\ or any directory on your
hard drive. Right click your "AVSEQ01.DAT" file and choose "Rename"
Rename the file (anyname).MPG
Then press - Enter
The file now appears as a Windows Media Player icon
with the name you gave it.
The file will now be recognized as such and will open in programs that
are compatible with Windows Media Player.
Q16. What do I do if my machine has a rolling picture and I am inputting
an NTSC signal?
The unit could be set to the wrong format such as PAL@25 frames/second.
To change the input selector back to NTSC mode, the remote control is
needed.
There is a button on the remote called "P/N" it stands for PAL/NTSC.
It sets the input format of the machine. To change it back to NTSC
please do the following:
1. Power the VDR on.
2. Insert a blank CD-R.
3. Select any recording format. (VCD, etc.)
4. Press the "P/N button on the remote controller.
5. Keep pressing it until it either says "Auto or NTSC".
(Either one of these modes should be fine.)
6. Once this is completed, eject the blank disk and discard it.
This should make the PAL menu display go away and put the
VDR 3000 into NTSC mode.
