Creating A New Ale File - Fostex PD-6 Operation Manual

PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 9: EDL SEL mode <Creating and editing an ALE file>)
On a DVD-RAM disk, the "info" folder is created under the "bwff" folder.
The "Info" folder contains ALE (Avid Log Exchange) files and various information files
such as a diagnoses file.
About an ALE file
An ALE file is an EDL (Edit Decision
List) file for exporting to an AVID
system. Because it is a simple text
file, a personal computer easily
reads it.

Creating a new ALE file

124
You can create a new ALE file on the current disk.
In the procedure described below, we assume that more than one audio file (BWF) is
created on a DVD-RAM disk.
1. When the [SHIFT] indicator is lit, press the [FILE SEL/EDL SEL] key.
The display changes to show the ALE screen.
<Note>
If no ALE file exists on a disk, only "<New file>" is shown as the screen
example above. If any ALE file exists on a disk, it is shown.
2. While "<New file>" is flashing, press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes to show the screen for entering a name of an ALE file you
are going to create.
