Output to Video-tape

Input: edited AVI file
Output: AVI file put on video-tape

1. Make sure the video is rendered in Adobe Premiere with the following project settings:

• Format 720 x 540 (other formats are valid, but can affect the quality)
• 25 frames / sec
• Optimize stills off (optimize stills can create lost frames in video)

2. Set output volume

Use volume control to set the correct output volume:

• Maximum volume: Volume control, WAV balance
• Silence: Midi, CD Audio, Line-In, Microphone

3. Connect video recorder

Connect the video recorder by connecting:

• video out Miro dc-10 and video in video recorder (preferably S-Video, otherwise Composite)
• Line out SoundBlaster and Audio in (Left+Right) video recorder

4. Select output settings

Use MiroVIDEO DC10 Control to set the Output Device to Composite or S-Video (depending on how the video recorder is selected)

5. Set video recorder channel

Set video recorder channel to E1 (external input 1)

6. Record

1. Put in Video-tape
   A new (2000-01-30) type of video recorder, D-VHS (Data-VHS) is now being introducted (upto 19 hours of video on one tape). See http://www.d-vhs.co.uk/ 
2. Use the Windows 98 Mediaplayer to play the AVI-file (select Device, Miro AVI cache...)
   As AVI files have a size limit of 2GB it is not directly possible to put long files on video tape without interruption. This can be solved using AVI_IO or DDClip.
3. Record the played AVI file with the video recorder.
