Sony Viao PictureBook Computer Handbuch

If your system displays the message, “Failed to record to DV deck, please check 
deck’s power status, cable connection…,” while you are recording images to a 
digital video device using DVgate software, close all open applications, and 
restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device 
while using DVgate may cause this situation to occur.

For more information on DVgate software, see the DVgate online help.

If the images on the LCD do not display smoothly, the resolution may not be set 
correctly. To check the resolution, click the Setup button in the DVgate 
Motion-Monitor window. Point to Settings, and then select Low Resolution. The 
settings you change in this menu affect the images in the monitor window only. 
Movie data imported to your hard drive and images recorded to DV devices will 
not be affected.

If you cannot export images that you took using DVgate software, and a DV 
device is connected to your computer via an i.LINK® cable, you may need to 
change the profile setting. To change this setting, right-click 

 the CPU: 

Performance Profile: AC Power icon on the Windows® taskbar, and select 
Profile, and then click DV. Setting your system to DV is only recommended for 
exporting images to a DV device. Once you finish exporting the images to a DV 
device, set the PowerPanel profile back to the default setting.

In order to improve the performance of your computer’s DVgate™ motion 
software, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two 
partitions, C and D. The C partition hold 40 percent and the D partition holds 60 
percent of the entire drive capacity. DVgate software saves files to the D 
partition. This prevents large video capture from consuming the available space 
on your C partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate, you should 
defragment or format the D partition regularly.
