Additional information about the Timer Recording Wizard
❑
Timer recording requires approximately 30 seconds (pre-recording)
preparation time prior to beginning each recording session. Please keep this
in mind when setting up multiple, back-to-back recording sessions. Giga
Pocket software stops the current timer recording, pauses to prepare, and
then begins the next timer recording according to the set start time. The
length of your first Video Capsule is approximately 30 seconds shorter than
the actual time set.
You may experience some timing problems with multiple recording sessions
when the second timer recording is preset as a daily or weekly recorded
event. The first timer recording may end as early as 60 seconds sooner than
the set stop time.
❑
Scheduled daily or weekly timer recording sessions do not occur if your hard
disk drive does not have sufficient space. Giga Pocket software does not
allow a new Video Capsule to be created if there is less than 50 MB of free
space on the hard disk drive. These scheduled events resume at their
scheduled time, as hard disk drive space becomes available.
❑
Approximately three minutes before Giga Pocket begins a timer recording
and during a timer recording, you must avoid:
❑ Starting up or using other software applications.
❑ Setting up, changing, or deleting timer recordings.
❑ All activities that may access the hard disk drive, such as copying files.
