Running more than one application at a time causes errors. Most video
applications create a DirectDraw
®
overlay surface, which writes video.
DirectDraw allows only a single overlay surface to exist at one time. A
video application would have to stop running before a second video
application starts.
Workaround: When running both Avid Xpress DV and QuickTime 5.0 at
the same time, play the video all the way through to the end in QuickTime.
This allows the appropriate resources to release from QuickTime in order
to run Avid Xpress DV.

Using the headphone output on the Sony VAIO inverts the polarity.

If a JVC
®
device is not running when you arm a track (video or audio)
in the Record tool, the JVC device cannot send data to the 1394
FireWire. When you play from the deck controls in the Record tool, the
JVC device plays and displays video on the JVC device; however, you do
not see or hear anything on the desktop. If you click the Record button in
the Record tool, you receive an error message that there is no signal data.
Workaround: Turn on the JVC device before arming any tracks in the
Record tool.
