jimbrown 0 Posted September 26, 2011 I have just installed a Ds and a DX dedicated micro previously they produced good units however the upgrades set on a good quality recording have a very short recording time and play back is very pixelated several conversation with technical but they put it down to settings however I think that there is a problem with the software. can any one shed light on this subject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldfogy 0 Posted September 27, 2011 Don't know if it makes any difference or if it will help from anyone replying but what is the model/number of the unit. Maybe someone could also comment on how many hours recording time they also get on a 1TB drive with the unit set to best quality recording. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
