2.6.5.2 CinePlex Studio File Formats
CinePlex Studio automatically generates filenames for AVI or DVT files. There
are a number of formats for the filename. The format may contain an optional 3-
character prefix, an optional date format, and a 3-digit file number. The table
below shows the various possibilities.
Table 2:
Prefix Date File # Filename Format
None None nnn nnnAVI
PPP None nnn PPPnnnAVI
None mmddyy nnn mmddyynnnAVI
None ddmmyy nnn ddmmyynnnAVI
None mmddyyyy nnn mmddyyyynnnAVI
None ddmmyyyy nnn ddmmyyyynnnAVI
PPP mmddyy nnn PPPmmddyynnnAVI
PPP ddmmyy nnn PPPddmmyynnnAVI
PPP mmddyyyy nnn PPPmmddyyyynnnAVI
PPP ddmmyyyy nnn PPPddmmyyyynnnAVI
Note:
The table shows the format for AVI filenames. The formats for the DVT filenames
are identical except that the extension is DVT.
The user may choose to have a prefix and/or a date as part of the filename. The
prefix (PPP in the table) can be defined as any text string that is legal for Windows
file names. There are four date formats (mmddyy, ddmmyy, mmddyyyy,
ddmmyyyy) where mm indicates the month, dd indicates the day, and yy or yyyy
indicates the year. The file number contains any three digits. Unless the user
specifies a different starting number, the file number begins at 001 or at the next
available file number if 001 is already used. CinePlex Studio determines the number
nnn from the AVI files already recorded and stored on the internal hard drive.
The latest file name is always one greater than the largest-numbered AVI file
already on the selected hard drive. If using one of the date formats and midnight
occurs, the first file recorded after midnight restarts at 001. The last possible file
number is 999. When recording that file number, the Next Available File property
displays N/A (Not Available).
