Recording on the Hard Disk

You can record video and audio from a connected camcorder on the hard disk of the computer by

operating the camcorder or the recording panel of DV-PC Recorder.

❍ Before you start recording:

• Make a performance check (

18) to make sure that the recording can be saved to the

selected video folder.

• Make sure that [

] is displayed on the camcorder screen. If [ ] or [ ]

is displayed, you cannot record on the hard disk. In such case, check the setting of the

video folder (

29).

•We recommend defragmenting the drive on which the video folder is located.

• Deactivate all programs that access the hard disk on a regular basis (e.g. as anti-virus

software). Frames may be dropped when such programs access the hard disk during

recording.

• If you wish to edit using the time code, make sure to record simultaneously on a tape. The

time code information will only be written to the hard disk when recording on a tape.

❍ In the following cases, recordings cannot be saved on a hard disk:

• During option settings or performance check.

• When the sequence number of the file exceeds the maximum value (e.g.

“DVPC9999999.avi”).

• When DV-PC Recorder is started while using the camcorder with another software.

❍ Observe the followings during recording:

• Do not activate any other software. When another software is running, frame droppings

may occur. Also, when software that accesses the camcorder (e.g. editing software) is

started, DV-PC Recorder may not operate correctly.

• Do not change the settings in Windows [Display Properties] window.

• Do not lock Windows by pressing the Windows key and [L] key on the keyboard.

❍ Depending on the status of the camcorder or computer, a delay in recording start/stop may

occur when you record on both the hard disk and tape.

Click the [Record] tab.

The recording panel appears.

When operating the camcorder:

Press the start/stop button on the camcorder.

• Recording starts on both the tape in the camcorder and the hard disk.

•[ ] appears on the camcorder screen.

• When no tape is inserted, or the tape is write-protected, recording is saved only on the

hard disk.

• When the tape reaches the end, recording on the hard disk continues.

•To stop recording, press the start/stop button on the camcorder again.
