Checking this box "on" will result in Raylight creating self-contained .AVI files. These .AVI files will contain all the original, unmodified DVCPRO-HD data that the MXF files contain. This is the most convenient and foolproof way to work with Raylight .AVIs and is the recommended workflow. Once you've selected your options and your target directory, simply go to Windows Explorer and navigate to your P2 card (or, to the hard disk where you've copied the contents of a P2 card). Find the CONTENTS folder from your P2 card, and drag and drop the CONTENTS folder right into the RayMaker application. When you drop the CONTENTS folder onto RayMaker's window it will bring up a dialog box showing a list of all the files that it will convert from MXF to .AVI. (Your list will obviously look different than this list, depending on what the particular contents are of your P2 card or your hard disk.) Press "Start" and RayMaker will begin converting your footage files to new .AVI files (leaving the original MXF files untouched and unharmed). (Note: while converting the footage, you may see a warning message that says "WARNING: could not find the Audio MXF files for this clip-AVI will be silent." This message occurs when converting 720pN footage that was shot at variable frame rates; for example, the HVX200 records no audio when using off-speed frame rates; in cases like that Raylight will not find audio files. This is not a bug or a problem; it's just the way the system works.)

Checking this box “on” will result in Raylight creating self-contained .AVI files.
These .AVI files will contain all the original,
unmodified DVCPRO-HD data that the MXF files contain.
This is the most convenient and foolproof way to work with
Raylight .AVIs and is the recommended workflow.
Once you’ve selected your options and your target directory, simply go to Windows Explorer and navigate to your P² card
(or, to the hard disk where you’ve copied the contents of a P² card).
Find the CONTENTS folder from your P² card, and drag
and drop the CONTENTS folder right into the RayMaker application.
When you drop the CONTENTS folder onto RayMaker’s window it will bring up a dialog box showing a list of all the files that
it will convert from MXF to .AVI.
(Your list will obviously look different than
this list, depending on what the particular
contents are of your P² card or your hard
disk.)
Press “Start” and RayMaker will begin
converting your footage files to new .AVI
files (leaving the original MXF files
untouched and unharmed).
(Note: while converting the footage, you
may see a warning message that says
“WARNING: could not find the Audio MXF
files for this clip—AVI will be silent.”
This message occurs when converting 7²0pN footage that was shot at variable frame
rates; for example, the HVX²00 records no audio when using off-speed frame rates; in cases like that Raylight will not find
audio files.
This is not a bug or a problem; it’s just the way the system works.)
