To ensure that all of your DirectX 8. X files are current, download the "Video Capture Update" for DirectX from the Microsoft website: http://www. microsoft. com/directx I've heard about problems related to the file sizes of films. What's the story?" It's true, restrictions do exist with regard to file sizes. Older, VfW-based software only supports AVI format to a maximum file size of 2 GB. The format has been developed further, however, because even this would only allow a maximum film length of around 18 minutes for DV. The current OpenDML format for AVI files is only subject to the restrictions of the file system itself. · · · FAT (Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000) The maximum file size here is 2 GB (approx. 9 minutes of DV video) FAT 32 (Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000) The maximum file size here is 4 GB (approx. 18 minutes of DV video) NTFS (Windows 2000, XP) The maximum file size in NTFS is equal to the partition size. If you need to edit long videos, we therefore recommend using Windows 2000 or XP. OpenDML is naturally supported by MediaStudio Pro 6. 5 VE. My recorded video sequences are choppy or skip. It's very likely that your hard drive is too slow and cannot process the required data quickly enough. If you are using an Ultra DMA hard drive, be sure that Ultra DMA mode is also enabled in the Device Manager. We recommend using a separate hard drive which is reserved for your video material. The temporary folders for MediaStudio Pro 6. 5 VE should also be located on this hard drive. Please also read the next item. CameoConvert (English) 17 How fast does my hard drive have to be to prevent dropouts during recording or playback?The reliable transfer of video data calls for a hard drive with a minimum data throughput of 3. 5 MBps. We urgently recommend using a SCSI hard drive or an IDE hard drive that supports Ultra DMA mode. When using an Ultra DMA hard drive, ensure that this mode is also activated in the Device Manager and that you are using the current Ultra DMA drivers for your system. In "VideoCapture" I get the message that the capture driver could not be accessed. Check whether Cameo Convert is entered in the Win98 SE/ME, 2000 or XP Device Manager. If this is not the case, click "Refresh". I've exported a completely rendered clip, but all of the edited scenes have been destroyed, showing mosaic-like patterns, or the camcorder returned the message "Incorrect format". You can install these updates directly from the installation CD. 18 CameoConvert (English) The perfect PC Sorry, it hasn't been built yet. [. . . ] The final quality is normally considerably higher than that of the preview. Since video editing with effects is very memory-intensive, the old rule applies: you can never have enough RAM!Rendering ­ this refers to the processing of video or audio clips after an editing operation has been completed, for example after the application of an effect or filter. RGB color space ­ In the RGB color space, each visible pixel is made up of the three components R(ed), G(reen) and B(lue). [. . . ]
