Limitations when capturing images

If a heavy load is put on the CPU or hard disk while capturing images from MICROMV devices, packet loss may occur. To reduce this problem, set up your computer according to Configuring your computer for use with MICROMV devices (Be sure to read this.).
If the length of images recorded on a videotape is extremely short, thumbnail images may not be imported even when you click the "Scan" button.
Capturing is not possible while the MICROMV device is in MEMORY mode. Additionally, movie or still images in the Memory Stick inserted into the MICROMV device cannot be displayed on the monitor.
Copy-protected images cannot be captured.
If the available free disk space becomes less than 50 MB at the start of capturing, a message appears saying that the disk space is insufficient. In this case, any attempt to start capturing will fail, regardless of its time (size). Capturing will be stopped if the available free disk space becomes less than 50 MB while you are capturing images.
If the destination folder for saving files is compressed or encrypted, capturing will not be performed correctly.
It is impossible to capture images from a MICROMV device directly onto removable media (e.g., CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW discs, etc.), or memory cards (e.g., Memory Stick media, etc.).

Limitations when exporting final movie products

If a heavy load is put on the CPU or hard disk while exporting a final movie product to a MICROMV device, packet loss may occur. To reduce this problem, set up your computer according to Configuring your computer for use with MICROMV devices (Be sure to read this.).
You cannot do insert editing and perfect splice recording when a final movie product is exported to a MICROMV device.

Depending on the MICROMV device, the beginning of the final movie product may be cut off.

If the destination folder for saving files, or the final movie product is compressed or encrypted, exporting will not be performed correctly.

Notes

If you wish to capture images from or export a final movie product to a MICROMV device, you must connect the MICROMV device (to your computer) and turn it on before starting MovieShaker. For further information about connecting MICROMV devices, see the Operating Instructions that came with your device.
Be sure not to disconnect the i.LINK cable or turn off the power of the MICROMV device while running MovieShaker.
It is time-consuming to export a final movie product to a MICROMV device. The use of AC power is recommended, not batteries.
Do not plug/unplug the peripherals from your computer (including PC cards or MICROMV devices, etc.), or turn your computer on/off while capturing images or exporting final movie products with MovieShaker.
Do not launch any software, operate Windows (e.g., moving windows, etc.). Do not plug/unplug the removable disk drive or eject/insert the media while capturing images or exporting final movie products with MovieShaker.
Do not use the i.LINK Network (or Smart Connect) connection while capturing images or exporting final movie products with MovieShaker.
Do not perform capturing or exporting operations with MovieShaker while the MICROMV device is engaged in recording or getting ready for recording.
Do not change any screen setting in the Windows "Display Properties" while running MovieShaker.
If the operating system on your computer is Windows XP, MovieShaker stops capturing, recording, etc., when another user logs on using "Fast User Switching." Therefore, the interrupted operation must be done again after the original user logs on.
Before starting any operation, make sure that the MICROMV device is properly connected and that the desired videotape is inserted.
If the operating system on your computer is Windows XP, correct operation cannot be assured if you start MovieShaker from the "Remote Desktop."
Do not start MovieShaker from the "Remote Desktop" as it places a heavy load on the computer and network.
