Importing Video from a Hard Disk Recording Unit |
|
From the File menu, choose Import, and then choose Hard Disk Recording Unit from the submenu to import video from a hard-disk-based recording unit such as the HVR-DR60.
-
Connect your hard disk recording unit to your computer via iLINK®.
-
From the File menu, choose Import, and then choose Hard Disk Recording Unit from the submenu. The Import from Hard Disk Recording Unit dialog is displayed.
-
From the Source drop-down list, choose the hard disk unit that contains the video you want to import.
-
The Destination box displays the folder where the video will be imported. Click the Browse button if you want to choose a different folder.
-
Click the OK button to start importing video.
If you’re importing to a FAT32 drive, files from the hard disk unit are copied directly to the destination folder.
If you’re importing to an NTFS drive, files from the hard disk unit are copied as follows:
-
If your hard disk unit is configured to record .dv (raw DV) files, the files are copied to the destination folder.
-
If your hard disk unit is configured to record .avi files, the files from each folder will be assembled into a single type-2 AVI file. The new file is named to match the source folder on the hard disk unit. For example, video from the 101DVF folder would be imported as DVS101.avi.
-
If you’re importing HDV clips, the files from each folder will be assembled into a single HDV file. The new file is named to match the source folder on the hard disk unit. For example, video from the 101HDVF folder would be imported as HDV101.m2t.
After importing is complete, the video is added to the Project Media window.
You can then add the imported video to your project just like any other media file.
uses the index (.idx) file on your hard disk recorder to ensure that files that have already been imported aren’t unnecessarily reimported.
