Pause Buffer
The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored dur-
Playback
ing the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV
program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space
you have set for the Pause buffer.
Clicking the Pause button will start recording into WinTV's Replay Buffer.
It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized and for
Pause to become effective.
Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start
playing from the point where the button was originally pushed.
Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live
mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go
into "no-title mode", etc.
While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the
Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video
Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay
Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.
