Audio Tool Input Slider

The Input slider in the Audio tool does not have a scale on it. The unity

gain point is correct only for an analog line, not for a CD-ROM,

microphone, or the IEEE 1394 standard FireWire. The slider cannot be

used to completely silence audio; the hardware does not have enough

range to do this. Therefore, the lowest value on the slider is not equal

to minus infinity.

Avid DV Codec

Avid Xpress DV Release 3.0 uses the new Avid DV codec as the

default. For the best image quality, you should use the Avid DV codec

whenever possible. The Avid DV codec requires a license key (dongle).
