Pause Buffer
The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored
during the Pause mode. 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.
Clicking the Pause button will start recording into WinTV's Replay
Buffer. It takes about 10 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 "no-title mode", etc.
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 Pause as many minutes as you
would like, 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 TV mode.
Replay
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 previ-
ously 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 program.
Skip Ahead
Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds.
Rewind
Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the
recorded video. Clicking the Rewind button again will continue the
playing.
Slow Motion
Clicking the Slow Motion button while playing video will play in
Slow Motion. Clicking the Slow Motion button again, will continue
playing normally.
Fast Forward
Clicking the Fast Forward button once will fast forward your video
at 2X speed. Clicking the Fast Forward button twice will fast forward
your video at 8X speed.
