delays - some vtrs may experience a small delay between receiving a command from the computer and executing that command. this will result in recordings that are off by a few frames. the vtr delay slider can be used to compensate by +/-5 frames.

    preroll - a setting of greater than five seconds ensures that your tape player is up to speed when capture begins.

    machine seek time - minutes - if clips in the capture list are more than the set time apart, the play head lifts off the tape, and fast forwards to the next spot. this saves wear and tear on both the deck and the tape.
