From the example, we can see that .dv clip files appear with a QuickTime
icon as do AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2 and AVI Type 2 Canopus.
The FAT32 file system has a limitation where any particular file cannot ex-
ceed 2GB in size. This equates to roughly 9 minutes of recording time. When
clips are being recorded to FireStore that exceed 9 minutes in length, FireStore
automatically creates a new file without dropping any frames. The two clips
will have the same primary file name, however, the last tow digits will be
different. The first 2GB part of the clip will be labeled with "-01" after the
primary file name. The second 2GB segment will be labeled with a "-02".
Additional 2GB segments will be labeled with a "-0X" number.
Dismounting Disk Drives from Macintosh Com-
puter Systems
Once you have completed working with your disk drive on a Macintosh com-
puter system, you must first dismount the drive before unplugging it. To do
this, simply select the disk drive on the computer's desktop. It will be marked
with a PC symbol. Once selected, drag the drive into the trash. This will then
dismount the particular disk drive. See Below:
FireStore File Formats
When a computer program captures industry standard raw DV data from a
FireWire port on a Macintosh, Windows or Linux platform it can choose to
store that data in any number of different ways on the hard drive. Over the
years a group of formats have evolved that are well documented and agreed
upon by manufacturers.
