Troubleshooting

1. If you experience difficulty getting started with Corel VideoStudio, use the online help orcheck the manual for information.

2. When rendering a title text against a pure background color clip, the text may appearblurry. This is due to certain types of compression. For better results, try using the

Video1, RLE, or no compression options.

3. The Video Greeting Card does not support QuickTime files.

4. If you want to share and play your video on other machines, make sure you use commoncodecs. If you use a hardware codec, such as MJPEG, you may be unable to view the

video unless the other machine has the same card on board.

5. You may experience some problems when playing QuickTime files. Some examples maybe, the playback may not be smooth or the Stop button in the Navigator bar cannotswitch back to the Start button after playing. In such cases, please change to safe mode

in the QuickTime Video Settings. (You can do this by clicking the Control Panel:QuickTime icon.)

6. Some camcorders (specifically some Panasonic models) have a small problem thatprevents them from recording movies from your computer. If this is a problem,

VideoStudio can be made to pause for a short time before transmitting the video to thecamcorder. Find the msdevctl.ini file in the main program folder (in All Users.WINNT),open this file in Notepad and modify the following line where 1 second = 1000 :

[MainSec]RecordDelay=1000.

7. Frame sizes supported by the Hitachi DVD Camcorder include: 352x480 (NTSC)

704x480 (NTSC) 352x576 (PAL) 704x576 (PAL)

8. To avoid the problem of having not enough hard drive space when you capture or burn adisc, make sure that the folders that are assigned as the working folders for capturingand burning have plenty of free space. You can check this in the Preferences in the

Video Editor and in the Advanced Settings dialog box in the DV-to-DVD Wizard.

9. In DV-to-DVD Wizard, If you have more than one burner installed in your computer or thedefault drive is not a burner, specify the burner you want to use in the Advanced

Settings dialog box.

10. Please use AVCHD format discs ONLY on AVCHD compatible devices. Using AVCHD onnon-compatible devices may cause serious damage to your device.
