Other Audio Applications
To avoid contention over system audio resources, do not start any other
audio application while running the Avid Xpress DV application. If you
want to use a CD-ROM player, use the cdplayer.exe file supplied with your
system.
To start the cdplayer.exe:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type cdplayer, and then click OK.
Using an Audio Mixer
When using an audio mixer with Avid Xpress DV, you should use shielded
audio cables to connect the mixer to your computer. If you don’t use
shielded audio cables, excessive noise might occur in the audio output
during audio scrubbing.
Audio Tool Input Slider
The Input slider in the Audio tool does not have a scale on it. The unity
gain point is correct only for an analog line, not for a CD-ROM,
microphone, or the IEEE 1394 standard FireWire. The slider cannot be
used to completely silence audio; the hardware does not have enough range
to do this. Therefore, the lowest value on the slider is not equal to minus
infinity.
Avid DV Codec
Avid Xpress DV uses the new Avid DV codec as the default. For the best
image quality, use the Avid DV codec whenever possible. The Avid DV
codec requires a license key (dongle).
