Win 7 Gadgets And File Location

[David Ramsey]

I installed Easy VHS to DVD3 Plus about a week ago on my Win 7 computer. I've been able to create the DVD's that I wanted, so that isn't a problem. However, I do have two issues/problems:

 

1) when I installed "easy" the two Windows gadgets - CPU usage and Memory usage - stopped displaying correctly. Instead of the guage icon, I just have a small text box for each. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a resolution?

 

2) the tapes I'm copying to DVD are over 20 years old. I would like to store the captured video files on a more secure medium (like Carbonite) than just DVD-R, but I'm not sure where the captured videos are stord; the only files I can find in "Documents" folder seem much too small for an hour worth of video. Can anyone provide information on where the files might be stored and/or the naming conventions?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

David.

What is your OS???

 

The video is captured in the default location:

 

 

If you Edit and Output then the rendered file goes to the area but there is a specific folder for the one you choose:

 

 

Hope that helps

Thank you, Jim - that information was just what I needed.

 

On the Gadget question, I typed Win 7 as my OS; I meant it is Windows 7 32 bit.

Have you closed the gadgets and re-added them?

Good point cd, I have had Win7 Gadgets fail and that gets them going again

(of course I took the hint and stopped using any of them )

Closing and adding them did not help, but thank you for the suggestion.
