The Digital Video Information Network - View Single Post - XDCam Clip Browser Always creates a strangely named folder

Thanks for the suggestions. Since the Clip Browsers is creating the "strangely" named folder that starts with the date, I can use that, and then rename it later, without moving things around. And, yes, I know the name's not that 'strange' but it got everybody's attention, right?

As far as archiving, I use Drobo for an online backup, and I'm just getting into using the Toast Titanium backup functionality to archive offline to Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs (those have a very good rep for good value and stability). Apparently Toast Titanium can create backups where either files can not be split across disk (it will just ask for a new DVD when the current one is full or would be more than full with the next file), or if the files are larger than the DVD (>4.2GB) can hold, split in such a way that they can easily be put back together using either Toast or standard unix commands (cat I believe). I'm going to do some tests on this to determine the best methods, I'll check back in with the results.
