NOTE
For more information on exporting image sequences using an external CD burner, see Section
17.16.4: Exporting image sequences to CD/DVD using an external USB burner.
Exported image sequences can now also be stored directly on a CD-R, CD-RW or
DVD-R/DVD-RW.
An important feature of the SISTORE MX is the possibility of automatically
requesting several blank disks one after the other if more image sequences are to
be written to disk than would fit on one blank. When generating AVI sequences,
SISTORE MX does not check whether the generated sequence fit onto one disk.
We recommend always having an adequate number of CD or DVD blank disks
available.
NOTE:
RW blank disks must not be formatted. SISTORE MX does not use any packet writing.
It is possible to delete RW media with SISTORE MX.
For safety reasons, SISTORE MX generally writes at max. 8 x CD/DVD speed.
If the writing speed is too high, the CD writer requires too many system resources
which can lead to a breakdown in the recording frame rate with SISTORE MX or in
extreme cases to watchdog errors of the recording hardware.
SISTORE MX supports writing of several sessions. For this reason, SISTORE MX
writes exclusively in multi-session format and never closes sessions. There is a
possibility of errors in reading the media if using older CD or DVD drives that are
not able to support this format.
If there are already files on the CD/DVD with the same name as those to be added,
SISTORE MX will not overwrite the existing files. Instead, the new files will be
provided with a name suffix "_$xxx" whereby "xxx" stands for a serial number
commencing with "000".
SISTORE MX automatically writes the SISTORE player (sistoreplayer.exe) onto
each CD/DVD. This cannot be prevented by the user. The SISTORE player
enables exported sequences to be played back on any Windows
SISTORE MX offers 2 possibilities for writing files to CD/DVD:
Write all files of a directory to CD/DVD
Export film sequences directly to CD/DVD
At the replay level, the user will find three entries in the File menu that relate to
CD/DVD drives. This menu is only visible if the above-mentioned requirements
have been fulfilled.
