Using DVgate Motion
When capturing clips:

Captures larger than 2 GB (9 minutes and 30 seconds) are automatically continued in a second file.

You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video. You cannot add audio on the stereo 2 track

audio mode you wish to use.

DVgate Motion does not support hard disk compression. You should not use disk compression if you are
planning to work with DVgate Motion.

To avoid interruption of capture sessions, you should disable the screen saver.

The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate compensation adjustments for tapes


For tapes that include a mixture of both SP and LP mode, the information displayed by the capture progress
indicator may not be accurate.
