DVgate
In order to improve the performance of your notebook’s DVgate™ motion
software, the hard disk drive on your notebook has been formatted with two
partitions, C and D. The C partition holds 40 percent, and the D partition holds 60
percent of the entire drive capacity. DVgate software saves files to the D
partition. This prevents large video captures from consuming the available space
on your C partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate software, you
should defragment or format the D partition regularly.
To defragment a partition
❑ Click the Start button in the Windows® taskbar.
❑ Click Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and then Disk
Defragmenter. The Disk Defragmenter window appears.
Select the drive you want to defragment from the list, and click the Defragment
button. See Windows® Help for more information on defragmenting.
DVgate plug-in for Adobe Premiere
If your VAIO® notebook does not come with Adobe Premiere pre-installed and
you subsequently purchase that software, you must install a plug-in to enable
DVgate™ 2.3 software.
Installing the DVgate plug-in
To install the plug-in for Adobe Premiere® 5.1 and 5.1LE, proceed as follows:
❑ Click Start in the Windows® taskbar and select Run.
❑ Click Browse and, from your C: drive, select Program Files, and Sony, and
Dvgate, and Premiere Plug-in, and then 5.1.
❑ Select “Setup.exe” and click Open. Then click OK to install the plug-in.
To install the plug-in for Adobe Premiere® 6.0, proceed as follows:
❑ Click Start in the Windows
®
taskbar and select Run.
Before you defragment a partition, make sure you back up all files that you
want to save.
