plug-in. Then export your edited movies to a DV or

also possible). DVgate Plus ver. 1.3 also supports
multiple channels (4ch DV-AVI capture, 4ch/5.1ch
DV-AVI output, etc.) for dynamic surround sound.
Simply by connecting your VAIO with your digital
camera via USB cable, or inserting Memory Stick
media, you can automatically import photos to
VAIO’s hard drive. Since photos are displayed as
thumbnails on the screen, browsing is a breeze. You
can also create a photo album in three steps with
Photo Album, then print it out or save it as a PDF file
and attach it to email. Or write and draw on your
photos, place your photos in chronological order with
Calendar View, create screensavers and slideshows
with background music, and much more.
