Operational limitations

• If you are using Adobe Encore DVD in a system with an NVIDIA display

card installed, make sure to use only the latest display driver available on the

NVIDIA web site at www.nvidia.com (Ref# 31242)

• When playing back a clip from the DVDit! SE timeline, the Play button is no

longer available once playback reaches the end of the clip. To avoid this,

press the Stop button before playback reaches the end of the clip.

• In order to properly use your exported Matrox .m2v clips in your Ulead DVD

Workshop projects, you must use the DVD Workshop 1.3 update patch,

available on the Ulead web site at www.ulead.com. (Ref# 27992)

• Some DVD authoring programs (such as Sonic Solutions DVDit! SE and

Ulead DVD Workshop), do not support moving or resizing their live video

window. If you are using a Matrox Parhelia display card in TripleHead

mode, in order to correctly display video in your DVD authoring program’s

live video window, clear

Use video overlay in the Video Playback

Settings

dialog box (right-click your Matrox PowerDesk HF icon on your

desktop and choose

Video Playback Settings). When you clear this option,

however, you won’t be able to adjust your video window settings. (Ref#

27975 & 28006)

• Software DVD players (such as CinePlayer) cannot preview your .m2v files

accurately, so that you may think the .m2v file is not frame-accurate. This

will not occur once you burn the DVD. (Ref# 27994)

• To avoid problems importing .avi files into DVDit! SE, you must install

Service Pack 1 for Windows XP. (Ref# 29034)

Matrox MediaExport

• If you encode your Windows Media video using a recent Windows Media

video codec (such as version 9.0), your video may not play back on older

versions of Windows Media Player (such as version 6.0). (Ref# 28714)

Matrox MediaTools

• If you perform a capture in MediaTools when your DV-1394 device is

already playing a tape, the time code display may freeze even though the

tape is still playing. This does not have any effect on the capture itself. (Ref#

24718)

• To avoid problems with MediaTools, do not press any of the buttons on your

DV-1394 device during a scan and capture. (Ref# 28472)

• On certain DV-1394 devices, you may experience audio sync problems when

capturing live video in MediaTools. As a workaround, leave a tape in the

cassette compartment of your DV-1394 device when capturing live video.
