DVR Station Gen 5
5. ediTing yOur reCOrdings
Video les recorded with the ARCHOS DVR Station can be edited by deleting the sec-
tions 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 de-
lete everything except the marked segment or to delete the marked segment from the
video le. These operations can be done multiple 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 specied in the edit session. This le will be smaller but you can never un-edit it.
