Clicking the Pause button on the WinTV2000 application starts the Pause mode. The Pause Menu will drop down.
ote: it takes about 20 seconds for the recorder to initialize. Do not click any WinTV buttons while the record mode is initializing.
Clicking the Pause button causes WinTV to start saving a audio and video stream (referred to as an A/V stream) into the WinTV's Replay Buffer. It takes about 15 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized and for Pause to become effective. Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed. Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "notitle mode", etc. If you are in the Pause mode though, the video image in the WinTV window is frozen so you will not see the function change. For example, in Pause mode if you change volume you will not hear the volume change. While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Replay or Pause as many minutes as you would like, there is a setting in the Preferences menu where you can increase the size of the Replay Buffer. While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button.
While recording: Live video continues to play in the WinTV window The Counter will display the length of your recording If you had started recording with the OTR button, and had clicked it more than once, the total time for the recording will be displayed

The recorded video file is saved in the DVCR Recorded File Path which can be configured from the MPEG Configuration Menu. Everytime you record a file, a new file is automatically created. The first file will be _dvcr001.mpg. The second file will be _dvcr002.mpg and so on. The quality of the recording is configured from the MPEG Configuration Menu (see the section entitled Configuring the format for MPEG compression). There are several video qualities: VCD plus MPEG-2 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 MBit/sec, etc. The highest quality is MPEG-2 6.0 MBit/sec, and the least is VCD. Clicking the Stop button will stop your recording, and then saves the recorded audio/video file to disk using the automatically assigned file name. The Counter will be reset to 00:00:00 after the file is saved. VCD Record button: Clicking the VCD Record button will automatically generate a file name and start recording your audio/video program using the VCD record quality. This button makes it easy to save VCD quality video, for burning later on to a Video CD (CD-R or CD-RW). To burn a Video CD, see the section entitled Creating Video CDs. Stop button: Clicking the Stop button will stop the video you are recording or play-

Pause buffer: The Pause buffer is a circular buffer on your hard disk. The maximum amount of time which your TV program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space you have set for the Pause buffer and which type of MPEG format you have chosen. Both of these can be set in the MPEG settings menu (see the section entitled Configuring the format for MPEG compression). The Limit Pause Mode buffer size sets the maximum size of the Pause buffer. Here are some suggested sizes: if you are using MPEG-1 - VCD format, 650 MBytes per hour are used. So if you want a 1/2 hour buffer, then set the Limit Pause Mode Buffer Size to 325 MBytes. if you are using MPEG-2 4.0MB/sec, about 2 Gigabytes per Replay button: While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need to click the Replay button six times. For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might

take a few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing). You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video. While replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3 times (so that you are replaying the audio/video seen 30 seconds ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 seconds behind the "live" audio/video program. To catch up to the "live" audio/video program, you can either exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button, you can click the Skip button, which skips ahead 10 seconds per click, or you can grab the Video Position indicator and move it to the right until it is at the end of the Video Position bar.
Which record format should you use? If your PC has a USB 2.0 connector, you can use any of these formats. If you would like to burn a DVD, then chose either DVD Standard Play, DVD Long Play or DVD Extra Long Play. DVD formats record at 720x480 (720x576 with PAL video sources) using 48.0 kHz stereo audio. You can get 6 episodes of a 1/2 hour TV show on a DVD+R/W using DVD Extra Long Play. If you are using a PC with a USB 1.1 connector, use the DVD Standard Play or DVD Extra Long Play, or any of the SVD formats. For creating Video CDs for playback on your home DVD player, chose the MPEG-1 VCD format. If you want to watch the recorded video on your PC, for the best video quality chose MPEG2 12.0MB/sec or DVD Standard Play. If you do not have much disk apace, try the MPEG-2 2.0MB/sec. SVCD is a nice compromise between video quality and hard disk space. Video is recorded at 480x480 (480x576 for PAL video) at a datarate up to 2.5Mbits/sec. The WinTV-PVR supports several formats for MPEG video compression, called Quality Levels. The differences in these formats are: The higher the datarate, the better the video quality you see from live TV and your recordings. The higher the datarate, the more disk space which will be required. CPU horsepower required during playback and pause mode. The compatibility when creating DVDs, Video CDs or S-VCDs. Once chosen, the Quality Level format is set for both the Pause and Record modes. The format cannot be changed while Recording or while in the Pause mode. File Name
