DVgate™ Applications
Digital Video Captures
If your system displays the message, “Failed to record to DV deck, please check
deck’s power status, cable connection…,” while you are recording images to a
digital video device using DVgate software, close all open applications, and
restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device
while using DVgate may cause this situation to occur.
For more information on DVgate software, see the DVgate online help.
Adjusting Image Resolution
If the images on the LCD do not display smoothly, the resolution may not be set
correctly. To check the resolution, click the Setup button in the DVgate
Motion-Monitor window. Point to Settings, and then select Low Resolution. The
settings you change in this menu affect the images in the monitor window only.
Movie data imported to your hard drive and images recorded to DV devices will
not be affected.
Hard Disk Drive Partition
In order to improve the performance of your notebook’s DVgate™ Motion
software, the hard disk drive on your notebook has been formatted with two
partitions, C and D. The C partition hold 40 percent and the D partition holds 60
percent of the entire drive capacity. DV gate saves files tot he D partition. This
prevents large video capture from consuming the available space on your C
partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate, you should defragment
or format the D partition regularly.
