9.3 edITIng VIdeO fIles
Video les recorded with the ARCHOS DVR Station or Travel Adapter can be edited by deleting the sections
you do not wish included. The editing you can do is either cropping or cutting of particular segments of the
video le.
You will mark a segment of your video le, and then you will tell the ARCHOS to delete everything except
the marked segment or to delete the marked segment from the video le. These operations can be done mul-
tiple times on the same video le.
Once nished, you will have the option to save the edit marks with the video or to write a new video le. If
you save your le with edit marks, you can always go back and change your edits at another time. The actual
video information is not deleted. On the other hand, you can write a new le which will only include the
video parts that you specied in the edit session. This le will be smaller but you can never un-edit it.
EXAMPLE 1
You have recorded a music video program and would like to keep one single music presentation. The rest of the
television recording you do not care to keep.
