5 XFConverter Configuration
To open the “Options” dialog box, select Options and then Configure… in the main window menu.
5.1 File Management
The first tab from the “Options” dialog box allows you to configure the destination file naming convention used
during the conversion process.

o
Converted input files can be deleted by checking the corresponding box in the “Source file option” settings.
o
The input files can be moved to another directory if the conversion failed using “Move source file after failed
conversion to” setting.
o
You can also force the creation of write-protected files by checking the first box in the “Destination file
options”.
o
If the destination filename is constructed from source file, XFConverter will extract the source filename,
remove its extension and use this base name to figure out the output filename. For instance, when you convert
“myfile.mxf” into an AVI file, the resulting file will be named “myfile.avi”.
o
If the destination file already exists, you can configure XFConverter to cancel the conversion, force the
deletion of the destination or have it generate a new destination filename that will include the source file name
followed by a number.
o
If the destination filename is constructed from a base name, you will have to set the desired name and
XFConverter will use it as the output filename base. When you select this option, consecutive conversions of
MXF into AVI files will produce the following file series: DefaultName_0000000.avi,
DefaultName_0000001.avi, DefaultName_0000002.avi, DefaultName_0000003.avi, etc.
o
Note that when you are creating Panasonic P2 files, these settings do not apply due to the naming convention
inherent to this format.
