Q:
Frames are dropped when I capture from and export to my DV camcorder.
A:
Please make sure that DMA (Direct Memory Access) is enabled if you are using IDE
hard disks. DMA access is automatically enabled by default in Windows 2000 and XP.
For Windows 98SE and ME, follow these steps:
1. Right click My Computer and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Hardware
tab.
2. Click the plus (+) sign next to Disk Drives. Highlight your hard disk from the list, right
click it, and choose Properties.
3. Click the Settings tab and check the DMA box. Click OK and restart the computer
when prompted. If needed, repeat these steps for each installed hard disk.
Q:
I am having problems with video quality (dropped frames, poor or no audio, signal
noise, etc.) when capturing video from a digital video source over my FireWire card.
How can I correct this?
A:
Most problems associated with digital video capture can be minimized or eliminated
by changing the configuration of the video capture software you are using. The default
settings often need to be adjusted to reflect the capabilities of the computer and digital
video source you are using. If you are using the Video Studio software included with
your FireWire card, go to www.ulead.com for detailed support information for your
software, including video quality problems and recommended configuration changes. For
other video capture software visit the manufacturer’s Web site for product support.
