308 Pinnacle Studio 9

OPERATION PROBLEMS
Images are missing from the recording, or the
video is jerky.
Possible cause: Your hard drive’s transfer speed is too
low.
Solution: When working with some UDMA hard
drives, the playback may “jump” when an AVI file is
played back at higher data rates. This can be traced
back to the fact that the hard drive carries out a
recalibration while reading the file, thus interrupting
playback.
This problem is not caused by Studio, but is the result
of the manner in which the hard drive operates and
interacts with other system components.
There are several solutions you can use to increase the
speed of your hard drive:
1. End task on background applications. Before
opening your Studio product, hold down the Ctrl
and Alt keys on the keyboard, then hit the Delete
key. This will open the Close Program window.
Click on the individual applications listed in the
Close Program window and select End Task. Do
this for all applications listed in the Close Program
window except Explorer and SysTray.
2. Click on Start ¾ Programs ¾ Accessories ¾
System Tools ¾ ScanDisk.
3. Make sure Thorough is checked, and click Start
(this may take a while).
