CapDiv
™
Portable
DV Disk Recorder
General Media Organization
As mentioned previously in the General Media Organization of the VTR oper-
ation, in the AV HDD mode each BIN is represented as a folder and each clip
inside the BIN is represented as a file. In the AV HDD mode, the name of each
folder is BINxx where xx represents the BIN number ranging from 01 to 99.
Each file within each folder is named BxxCyyy.avi where yyy represents the
clip number ranging from 001 to 128 and xx represents its BIN number.
CapDiv
™
converts native, digital video (.dv) content to a .AVI Type-2 file for-
mat in a FAT-32 file system for universal computer access.
NOTE:
During the file conversion process in HDD mode, the boundaries of
the video clips set by Marks are not as accurate as in Marks in the VTR mode.
CapDiv
™
design limits the conversion boundary location to an accuracy of
one-second resolution. While no data is lost, it does means that a few frames
of video within the resolution of the conversion process may possibly end up
in the previous clip. As a rule, it is better to start recording video clips with at
least one-second’s worth of non-critical footage.
