What is the maximum file size created by the Focus FS-1?
Due to the fact that the FS-1 utilizes a FAT32 volume, individual files or clips are limited to 2GB in size which is just over 9 minutes of DV video. If a recording session exceeds 9 minutes in length, the FS-1 will automatically create a new clip with a related file name and without the loss of any frames. For instance, if the file name for the first 2GB of the clip was “20010808-102345-01.avi”, the second 2GBs would be called “20010808-102345-02.avi”. Any additional 2GB segments would be called, -03, 04 etc. On the FS-1 itself, any single recording will always appear as a single track, it is only when the files are brought to a computer that the files are split into 2GB segments.
