Re: [Avid-L2] Export to XDCAM file, no drive

Export to XDCAM doesn't just write one file. You're dropping metadata
all over the ProDisc's folder structure, in addition to the device
itself creating its own proxy file to match.

With the newer firmware/drivers, you can save any sort of file into
the /USERDATA folder. Maybe that's your alternative.
