訊連科技《威力導演》9 版

訊連科技《威力導演》9 分成多種版本，包括 OEM 版、Express 版和零售版。這些版本只在功能、檔案支援等方面有些微差異。下表顯示這些不同版本之間的快速比較和差異。

附註：訊連科技威力導演的版本是依據 Microsoft Windows 7 安裝。

軟體註冊

請使用線上註冊功能來註冊您的軟體。您必須完成軟體註冊，才能獲得客戶支援服務及產品更新資訊。

安裝及軟體使用注意事項

1. 安裝訊連科技《威力導演》之前：您必須先檢查系統資源，以獲得最佳的效能。

2. 為避免大多數的相容性問題：請先關閉其他所有的軟體和公用程式，包括病毒掃描和即時訊息軟體。

3. 為取得最佳的視訊錄製效能：請檢查您硬碟的 DMA 設定。如需硬體設定清單，請查看「我的電腦」或「電腦」的內容頁面。

4. 智慧型高速不失真視訊輸出技術 (SVRT)：為獲得最佳的 SVRT 輸出效能，專案中的視訊片段應使用相同的錄製檔案格式。

5. MPEG-2 視訊編輯問題：Microsoft Windows 作業系統未提供 MPEG-2 視訊的播放解碼引擎。如果您的系統先前曾安裝其他的 DVD 或 MPEG-2 播放或視訊編輯軟體，協力廠商的 MPEG-2 視訊播放引擎可能會與訊連科技的播放引擎衝突。如果訊連科技《威力導演》在匯入 MPEG-2 視訊檔時發生任何問題，請嘗試解除安裝其他的 MPEG-2 視訊播放或編輯軟體應用程式。如果仍舊發生問題，請查看訊連科技網站上的「常見問答」或聯絡訊連科技的客戶支援部門。

6. Microsoft DirectX®9 執行階段程式庫 (runtime library) 須預先完成安裝。訊連科技《威力導演》要求您的系統必須安裝 Microsoft DirectX®9 執行階段程式庫，如此訊連科技《威力導演》中的某些功能才能正常運作。訊連科技《威力導演》光碟設定程式會自動安裝 DirectX 9 執行階段程式庫。但若您購買的是網路下載版或免費試用版，就必須從 Microsoft 網站或其他的網路位置下載此模組。Microsoft DirectX®9 也可從 Microsoft 網站的 Microsoft DirectX®9 下載頁面中找到：http://www.microsoft.com。

7. 支援 OHCI (開放式主機控制器介面)：訊連科技《威力導演》支援 OHCI 標準，可讓 Microsoft Windows 透過標準化的方式與 IEEE1394 連接埠或 I/O 介面卡進行互動，因此使用訊連科技《威力導演》軟體擷取 DV 視訊時就無需再安裝任何其他的驅動程式。

8. 使用非即時 DV 擷取時的硬碟需求：訊連科技《威力導演》會使用硬碟做為將 DV 內容轉錄成 MPEG-1/MPEG-2 檔案時的緩衝空間。建議您在執行非即時的 DV 擷取之前先確定是否擁有足夠的可用磁碟空間。

9. 在某些情況下，訊連科技《威力導演》可能需要一些時間來偵測 SVRT 設定，然後才能輸出較長的影片專案。當您的視訊檔分割成多個片段 (可能經由場景偵測或手動分割) 時，就可能發生此情形。在此情況下，請等候 SVRT 偵測動作完成。

10. DV/快速掃描相容性：有些 DV 品牌可能會與擷取模式中的「快速掃描」功能發生不相容的問題。這是因為各種 DV 機型的 DV 倒轉機制均有所差異。強烈建議您，依照「快速掃描注意事項」中的建議進行。例如，DV 磁帶的每段錄製中間不應保留空白。如果您的 DV 無法成功執行「快速掃描」功能，建議您使用標準的錄製/停止按鈕來擷取視訊。

11. MicroMV 擷取：訊連科技《威力導演》9 支援此功能，但不適用於 DV 快速掃描，以及依時間點分隔處來偵測場景時。

12. 向前快轉預覽：Windows Media Video (WMV) 格式不支援此功能。即使按下向前快轉按鈕，也只能以 1 倍的速度播放視訊。

13. 關閉其他的音訊播放軟體：當您從電視或光碟機擷取視訊/音訊訊號時，必須關閉其他的播放軟體 (例如 Media Player 或 Winamp)，才不會讓擷取片段中的音訊變成靜音或產生噪音。

14. 修剪時，您在「視訊視窗」或「媒體檢視器」中看見的視訊為未套用任何特效 (例如，「調整色彩」或「視訊速度調整」) 的原始視訊片段。若要預覽套用所有特效之後的結果，請切換到「全片」模式。

15. HDV 寫回：訊連科技《威力導演》目前僅支援 Sony HDR-FX1、HDR-HC1 和 HDR-HC3。針對較新的 HDV 機型，請按一下「檢查升級」按鈕來查看日後的修補程式，或造訪訊連科技網站查看更新。

16. 未安裝快速掃描導致無法安裝程式：在某些情況下，若未能在先前的步驟中完成「快速掃描」的安裝程序，將會導致訊連科技《威力導演》9 安裝失敗。這可能是因為其他協力廠商的轉碼器安裝了替代的 QuickTime 轉碼器 (例如 Storm Codec 或 K-Lite Codec Pack)，因而導致此問題。建議您解除安裝這些轉碼器套件，然後安裝官方版的 Apple QuickTime 7 Player。安裝完 QuickTime 之後，再嘗試重新安裝訊連科技《威力導演》9。

17. 安裝時重新開機，導致無法成功安裝訊連科技《威力導演》9：如果您在安裝訊連科技《威力導演》9 時系統重新開機，下次可能就無法成功完成安裝。如果發生此問題，請手動刪除系統上 C:\Windows\Installer 資料夾中副檔名為 .ipi 的所有檔案，然後再嘗試重新安裝訊連科技《威力導演》9。如果您不確定如何清除 .ipi，請聯絡訊連科技客戶支援部門。

18. 「DV 備份」中的可錄製光碟選項：您必須隨時確認光碟容量是否足夠存放 DV 磁帶中的內容。假如您只有容量 4.7 GB 的 DVD 可錄製光碟 (DVD+/-R/RW)，請將 DV 磁帶設為 SP 模式，而不是 LP 模式。如果您嘗試要備份的磁帶容量超過可錄製 DVD 的容量，「DV 備份」功能可能會無法正常運作。

19. 依檔案格式而定，場景偵測功能對某些片段可能無法像對其他片段一般精確。您可能必須在場景偵測對話方塊中以手動方式分割場景。

20. 使用多重子母畫面播放軌時會耗用電腦大量的效能，也可能讓子母畫面物件無法流暢地顯示。建議以較高階的電腦來使用多重子母畫面播放軌。

21. 上傳自訂範本至 DirectorZone：所有的 4:3 選單範本在上傳之後都會轉換成 16:9。自訂的子母畫面物件、光碟選單和文字範本在上傳至 DirectorZone 時均不可包含任何視訊。

DV 擷取的特殊需求

針對類比視訊裝置或使用即時模式時，「DV 擷取模式」(例如擷取視訊) 的最低 CPU 需求如下：

高畫質編輯的特殊需求

建議先備妥足夠的電腦資源，再開始編輯高畫質 (HD) 視訊。HD 視訊的尺寸最高可達到標準 DV 視訊的四倍，因此需要效能強大的電腦才能流暢地編輯 HD 視訊。如需詳細資訊，請參閱「系統需求」。

DV 快速掃描 (DV 批次擷取) 使用前注意事項

1. 「快速掃描」最好從磁帶開頭處開始進行掃描。如果您的磁帶已經錄有內容，請將磁帶倒轉到開頭的位置。
2. 請避免經常退出和重複載入磁帶，因為這可能會導致時間點不連續，而可能在掃描時產生錯誤。
3. 請避免在磁帶中間留下空白區段。大部分的攝錄影機都有「結束搜尋」的按鈕，請用此按鈕找到錄製內容的結尾部分，再繼續拍攝新的視訊內容。

使用快速掃描時的限制

1. 無法透過 IEEE1394 (「FireWire」) 連線將磁帶寫入 PC。使用「寫入 DV 磁帶」功能將會造成日期時間資訊遺失。
2. 無法透過 S-Video 或 A/V 端子將磁帶寫入 VCR。
3. 必須連續進行錄製。 若磁帶上的後面時間點出現在前面時間點之前，請不要錄製磁帶。

iPod®/PSP® 使用者注意事項

輸出適合 iPod Video® 的 MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) 檔案

附註：此功能不適用於某些版本的訊連科技《威力導演》。

1. 以 iPod-MPEG4 AVC 設定檔輸出的檔案只能在 Apple 第五代的 iPod Video® 上播放。
2. 輸出檔案之後，請使用 Apple iTunes® 將輸出的檔案同步。若要設定同步設定，請參閱 Apple iPod Video® 的使用手冊。只有在順利同步之後，iPod Video® 才能播放輸出的視訊。

GNU Lesser General Public License

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.

Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
