9.2 RECORDING VIDEO MANUALLY
With the ARCHOS, you will be able to record video from most any stan-
dard video source.
RECORDING PROCEDURE
Connect your video source’s outputs to the ARCHOS’ inputs.
In the Home screen, select the “
Recorder” icon and use the tabs ( button) to
access the “Video Recorder” mode.
This screen will allow you to adjust the recording sound gain (left/right arrows) as
well as configure other recording parameters
(see next section)
.
You can now tell the ARCHOS to start recording from the video source (“
Start
Recording
” menu item, or OK button). You can pause and resume your recording
at any time.
Close the screen
to stop and save the recording*.
* All video recordings made by your ARCHOS device are saved in the Video/
(Rec) folder. If you wish to keep them in a different location, you can use the
“Move” function of the ARCHOS file browser after recording.
“VIDEO RECORDER” SETTINGS
To access the “Video recorder” settings screen, select the “Settings” menu item:
“Auto Stop Rec”:
the duration of time after which the ARCHOS will automatically stop re-
cording. If you disable this function, the recording will continue until you press
or until the
entire hard drive fills up.
“Rename”:
allows you to define the filename before the recording begins, using the key-
board.
“Source”:
you can choose which video input (“Auto”/“Composite”/“S-Video”/“Scart”/
“
Component”/“RGB”) you want the ARCHOS to use. Normally, with a good video signal,
you can set it to “
Auto” and your ARCHOS will scan its inputs to see which one is receiving
video.
“Format”:
“Auto”/“4:3”/“5:3”/“16:9”/“2.35”. This is the aspect ratio of the screen that the
ARCHOS device will record. You can set this manually, but in most cases you can just leave it
on “
Auto”.
“Widescreen”:
“Auto”/“On”/“Off”. If your tuner (cable box, satellite receiver, etc.) outputs a
video signal in widescreen, you can force the ARCHOS to recognize this signal. This should be
set to “
On” if recordings show people that look unusually tall and thin. But in most cases you
can just leave it on “
Auto”.
