So, to be able to help&amp;nbsp;you, we&amp;nbsp;need to know the specifics of&amp;nbsp;your problem. Simply stating &amp;quot;my pc stops capturing&amp;quot; probably will not&amp;nbsp;result in&amp;nbsp;quick answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is&amp;nbsp;a recipe (thanks Menno) for getting answers quickly:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Post a clear subject&amp;nbsp;for your&amp;nbsp;question (&amp;quot;I need help&amp;quot; is a bit vague). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Make sure you have updated your&amp;nbsp;system specifications in your user profile. Please include your &lt;b&gt;Avid software version,&lt;/b&gt; Windows version, used deck or transcoder models, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Always&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;bump&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt; a thread instead of creating a new one.&amp;nbsp;By bumping (aka replying to your own post with &amp;quot;bump&amp;quot; )&amp;nbsp;your question will&amp;nbsp;appear&amp;nbsp;on top of the forum list for some time, thus drawing attention. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Only post a question&amp;nbsp;after you&amp;nbsp;have tried to find the answer yourself.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Use the &lt;b&gt;search function&lt;/b&gt; to see if the question has been answered before and continue searching while you wait for someone in the&amp;nbsp;forum to take up your question. Who knows, you might&amp;nbsp;find&amp;nbsp;the answer yourself.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;If you get your problem solved&amp;nbsp;yourself, make sure you &lt;b&gt;report&amp;nbsp;your findings&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the original thread so others may benefit as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Always be courteous to others and abide by the forum rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;The forum is a voluntary place...people come here to help and get helped. Return the favor&amp;nbsp;and make an effort to help others. Helping others is a great way to learn more. Avid does look at the forum every single day but they do not get involved very often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
