Sending media to a file
• Choosing DVD media - You may experience considerably longer write times
when using DVD-RW media compared to other types, such as +RW, -R, or +R.
• Adding/Removing USB devices - The USB connectors on the rear panel and front
panel can be used to connect a mouse, keyboard, USB drive, or other USB device.
Do not plug or unplug these devices while the iVDR is being used for critical play
to air activity.
• Maximum file sizes when exporting assets to USB drives- Exporting assets with
long durations may result in file sizes that exceed 4GB. Some USB drives are
formatted using FAT/FAT32 which has the 4GB maximum file size limitation.
Attempting to send a file to these disk volumes will cause the transfer operation to
fail. Disk volumes formatted using NTFS allow larger maximum file sizes. Before
exporting an asset, be sure to check that the file size is less than 4GB, otherwise,
ensure that the file system on the target drive supports larger files sizes.
To send to a file:
1. In the Clips pane, select the asset(s) you want to send to a file.
2. Open the Send to dialog box using one of the following steps:
• Select the context menu button , then choose Send to , or
• Select Send to in the asset context menu .

3. Select File, then locate and select the destination directory.

displays the contents of the current destination. You can select items in the list
(such as a machine, disk drive, or folder) to explore its contents.
Clicking the up-arrow button moves up one directory level in the storage
hierarchy.
