Important information

• ❗About the Universal version of MovieRecorder:
  • • Some of the encoders that we were using with intel computers are not yet available for the Universal version. Some will not be ported (as DV, DVCPro, DVCPRO HD which are legacy codecs), others will come at a later time. Check the list of supported codecs in the specifications on the MovieRecorder page.
    • M|Family: Download the Deltacast Universal drivers from our website. 
• ❗Known Issue: There may be UI issues. For example, viewers layout can be wrong when showing/hiding the side pane. Resize the MovieRecorder window to address the issue.
