I remember there use to be ways of creating a XDCam file structure to fool Avid into making an XDCam file exported from Avid. I never had a need to do that. I believe there is an example XDCam file structure disk in the L2 files section. I have one on my desktop but i see there are 3 clips in it so I'm not sure if that's the proper one to use.
I've delivered just XDCam50 mxf files with the export option that now exists and those have worked fine but I may be tasked with actually exporting to an XDCam device. We have the Sony U1 drive that we use for capture and uprez of our XDCam material. Will that device allow me to export to an XDCam Optical disk? I seem to recall there being different capabilities in this regard between the full tilt XDCam decks and the U1 drives.
Bottom line if I have to make an XDCam optical disk exported from my Avid Symphony 6.5.4.7 can I do this by inserting a blank XDCam into a U1 drive or do I have to somehow create an XDCam file structure on the blank disk before I can export to it from Avid.
I've googled and keep coming up with relatively outdated tutorials so I'm not sure where to go with this. I had thought once Avid added the ability to export to XDCam 50 files I wouldn't have to do this but there is a project we have to supply roll in material for the production truck and I'm told they have no decks and want the packages delivered on XDCam. I'm trying to find out if that really means an optical disk or would an XDCam 50 file work but the Post Super told me the truck can't accept files. We're still researching that and trying to get hold of the TD for more clarification. In the mean time I'm trying to figure out if I'm like Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz. Perhaps I have had the power to make and optical XDCam disk all this time and didn't know it. I'm clicking my heals but nothing is happening. Perhaps because I don't have a drive to practice with yet. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
