Recorded videos are jumpy and jerky.
Most probably your hard disk drive is too slow and cannot write the transmitted data fast
enough. We recommend you de-fragment your hard disk frequently. If you are using an
Ultra DMA hard disk, be sure that the Ultra DMA mode is activated in the device manager.
Check if there is an IRQ conflict between the Cameo 600 DV and any other component in
your PC.
We also recommend you use a separate hard disk drive only for your video material. All
temporary folders for Media Studio Pro 6.0 VE should also be installed on this hard disk.
Read the next section too.
Video data is not being recorded and the computer crashes during the recording.
Make sure that there is no IRQ (Interrupt) conflict between the Cameo 600 DV and any
other component in your PC. Open the device manager (by clicking on "Start->Settings-
>System Manager->System. In the device manager, double click on "Computer" to display
the IRQ list of your computer.). If there is an IRQ conflict you should try first to operate the
device in another PCI slot. This will solve the problem in most cases. Be sure not to
operate the Cameo 600 DV in the first PCI slot (next to the AGP slot of your graphic card),
as this slot in most cases uses the same IRQ as the AGP slot.
What is the required speed of a hard disk drive to avoid dropouts during recordings or
reproductions?
For a seamless transfer of DV video data, you need a hard disk drive with a minimum
speed of 3,5 MB/s. We strongly recommend you to use a SCSI- or IDE hard disk drive,
which supports the Ultra DMA mode. If you are using an Ultra DMA hard disk drive, be
sure to activate this mode in the device manager and to use the updated Ultra DMA
drivers for your system.
Can frequent transfers between the computer and the camera reduce the quality of video
material?
No! The video material is already available in digital format and doesn't need to be
changed anymore. The transmission process between camera and computer can be best
compared to a digital copy procedure.
In Video Capture, I get the message that the drivers for recordings can't be found and
recording is impossible.

Check whether the camera is indicated in the device manager of Win 98 SE/ME or 2000.
This procedure is automatically initiated by the operation system. Cameras are indicated
as MS Camcorder in the group "Imaging devices". If not, click on "Update".
