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

Requiring the device puts a hold on the exporting process. I'm sure there is plenty to do before it starts writing to the disc. And with it being a professional level format, I would expect users to understand where on the disc the files should be when the drive is available.

In the case of what goes on here, our client (pro sports broadcast) would like to create an XDCAM disc image or a specific folder here at home, and ftp that to the crew that's on the road with the deck. I know that can be a big file, and I'm not advocating it, but it does hold up work getting done when the deck isn't in town. The team eventually bought another deck. Still sounds like a dongle to me. Hardware being required to export a file.

Actually, think if it as the same thing as doing a digital cut to a VTR - only in a file mode. To do an "XDCAM export" means that it has to be written to an XDCAM disc in a manner that the deck can play it as video.
