Parameter

Description

--help

Help window.

--volume

Archive path. The basic parameter must always be present in the query.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs (for the archive volume as a file) or vfs_format.exe --volume D:\ (for the archive volume as a disk)

--fill

Populating an archive with multiple copies of video footage from another archive.

The system fills up a destination archive with multiple copies of a source archive; for easier timeline handling, each new copy is written with 1 minute offset. 

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\ 

--cache-to-memory

Copying an archive to RAM and further copying to a destination archive. Use with the --fill parameter.

This parameter is valid only for archives that could fit to RAM.

For instance, vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\  --cache-to-memory

--dump

Collect service information about the archive volume in a TXT or XML file.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs --dump C:\DumpArc.txt

--expand

Specify the new size of the archive volume in sectors. By default, the size of one sector is 4MB, if the -format parameter was not applied. This option is relevant only for the archive volume as a file.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs --expand 128

--size

Specify the new size of the archive volume in megabytes. This option is relevant only for the archive volume as a file.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs --size 4096

--format

Split the volume of the archive into sectors of the specified size (in megabytes).

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs --format 16

--copy

Copying archive volumes. Specify the path and name of the new archive file. If the archive volume is copied as a disk, create a partition, large enough. If you have a smaller partition, then only the most recent entries are copied.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs --copy C:\NewArc.afs

--skip-bad-block 

Skip the bad sectors when copying the archive volume. This parameter is used only together with --copy .

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAliceBlue.afs --copy C:\NewArc.afs --skip-bad-block

--modify-corrupted-flag 

Enable / disable re-indexing of the archive volume. 1 - − enable reindexing, 0 - – disable.

For example: vfs_format.exe --volume D:\archiveAliceBlue.afs --modify-corrupted-flag 1

--build-meta

Launch the process of metadata generation for an archive volume (including timeline markers and video footage size per channel).

For example,   vfsvfs-format.exe --volume D:\ --build-meta

Important! Processing large archives may take significant amounts of time.

--clear-meta

Deleting metadata of archive volume.

For example,   vfsvfs-format.exe --volume D:\ --clear-meta

--log-level

  • 0
-
  • – OFF
  • 10
-
  • – ERROR
  • 20

To log error messages, you must add a path for the log file at the end of each query.

For example:  vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\ --log-level=100 > S:\log.txt
