The QuickStream DV operates like a high performance FireWire hard drive
when connected to your computer workstation and can be used to store any type
of data you’d like. However, do not put your own data in the “Media” folder
where the QuickStream DV stores the recorded video clips as this is a special
folder and placing other types of data here may interfere with the QuickStream
DVs recording function.
!
The QuickStream DV is formatted as a FAT32 volume in order to be cross
platform compatible and this particular format is necessary for proper recording
function when connected to a DV camcorder. Do not reformat or reinitialize the
QuickStream DV as this will interfere with the QuickStream DVs recording
function.
