The FireWire disk drive contains several different files. Clips can appear as: • RawDV (.dv) • AVI Type 1 - (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSa01) • AVI Type 2 or 24p AVI Type 2 (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSb01) • Canopus AVI - (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSb01) • Matrox AVI - (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSm01 with a separate .wav audio file per track) • FS-4Pro only. Pinnacle AVI - (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSp01 with two separate .wav audio files per track) • QuickTime or 24p Quicktime (.mov) • FS-4Pro only. Avid OMF (.omf with two separate .aif audio files per track). The FAT32 file system is limited to a 2GB file size. This equates to roughly 9 minutes of recording time. When clips are being recorded to the FS-4 that exceed 9 minutes in length, the FS-4 automatically creates a new file without dropping any frames. The two clips have the same primary file name, however, the last two digits are different. The first 2GB part of the clip is labeled with "-01" after the primary file name. The second 2GB segment is labeled with a "-02". Additional 2GB segments are labeled with a "-0X" number. With most NLE systems on a Windows computer, you can use clips within the timeline by selecting the clips on the source volume (the connected FS-4) and importing them directly into the NLE's bin. Clips can then be immediately used in the NLE's timeline. With FS-4, the drive itself is fast enough to directly stream the clips to the NLE, eliminating the need to copy or transfer the clips before use. When utilizing the Avid OMF file format, you must use the steps in the following section to import clips. 22
