We do this to optimize video capture. When DMA is not enabled you will likely drop video frames resulting in jerky video captures. We will also set your VGA resolution to 1024 x 768. This is the optimal resolution for viewing video at full resolution. DVD video is captured at 704 x 480 (704 x 576) PAL. If your resolution is not high enough you will not be able to view the video at full resolution. 7 uvs5_1edited.p65 7 12/5/01, 10:47 AM 5.
