Chapter 1 Overview drive into the computer, and to write data files from the computer to the drive. User data recording mode User data (files other than XDCAM AV files) can be recorded on Professional Discs as PC data via the USB interface. This allows Professional Discs to be used as data recording media, with a data storage capacity of 46 GB (when dual-layer PFD50DLA discs are used). Notes • The maximum number of files that can be created on a disc is 5,000 for single-layer discs and 6,000 for dual-layer discs (both including directories). The maximum number of clips that can be created on a disc is 300, for both single-layer and dual-layer discs. If this limit is reached, nothing more can be written to the disc, even if the disc still has free capacity remaining. • Directly editing or executing files stored in the UserData directory may cause an error depending on the type or settings of the application. Specifically, avoid execution of applications which attempt to create a temporary work area in the directory and direct execution of executable files stored in the directory.
