625/50 Clips Do Not Play
The default values for the controls are NTSC-specific. If you are using a 625/50 system,
set the following system control in file /usr/vtr/config/system-defaults/main:
vtr.main.timing_standard 625
This control sets the timing of the system, including the multiformat codec (MFCODEC)
cards, to 625/50.
In the file /usr/vtr/config/device-defaults/MFCODEC, make sure the control
vtr.media.video.output.timing is set to its default value, system.
Adding a Clip Takes Excessively Long
Adding clips always has a lower priority than playout and recording.
