the device and your computer.) If a Digital Video Camera
Recorder is connected to the drive, see “Connecting a
Digital Video Camera Recorder” (page 18) .
c Disconnect all devices, restart the computer, and then
reconnect correctly.
c Because video data captured from an external device with
Click to DVD software is temporarily stored on your hard
disk, capturing video data might not be possible if there is
not enough free space on the hard disk. To avoid this,
delete any unnecessary files from your hard disk. Also,
change the Click to DVD software settings so that the
temporary files are saved to a different location. Refer to
Click to DVD software online help for details.
c With Click to DVD software you can only use the following
video file formats: DV-AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2, DVR-MS.
c To read files in DVR-MS format, Windows XP Service
Pack 1 and the editing program Q810243 is required. You
can install both Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Q810243
from Windows Update.

turned on and the cables are properly connected. For
details, see “Connecting a Digital Video Camera Recorder”
(page 18) or the manuals provided with your computer.

of peripheral devices, but some devices can cause
instability when there is more than one device connected.

unstable devices, check the cable connections, and then
turn the power back on.

Camera Recorder's power, and then turn the power back
