HDV Streams vs. Editing Software

allowable and pre-set file format supported by the manufacturer
at the time of release of this “Quick Usage Guide”
.
DV Streams vs. Editing Software
The following is a table of various editing software’s native video file
formats and suggested key combination for FW1256B, C and H
models for incoming DV signal.
HDV Editing and External FireWire Hard Disk
•
Disconnect the FireWire cable from the camcorder and re-connect
it to a FireWire port (4-pin or 6-pin type) equipped computer, PC
or Mac.
•
Use the CitiDISK HDV as an external FireWire hard disk for file
archiving, backing-up and/or other video editing functions.
•
CitiDISK HDV is PLUG-and-PLAY specification compliant; no driver
is needed.
•
It is recommended by the manufacturer to backup all the captured
clips to an internal or second hard disk before editing. Although
dragging unwanted video clips into “Recycle Bin” and emptying
the Recycle Bin will re-claim your hard disk space, the directory
holding the clip names will not. Eventually the number of clips
that can be recorded will be reduced. It is recommended to use
the “Quick Erase” function to re-claim the hard disk space of the
CitiDISK HDV.
Quick Erase Button and Utility Programs
Note:
All of the files inside the “Media” folder are subject to be
erased. It is suggested by the manufacturer that you back
up the clips to an internal hard disk first and erase the clips
with the “Quick Erase” function instead of dragging them
into the Recycle Bin and emptying it later.
