The size of the exported file

When exporting to AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, ASF (see Selecting the format and recompression for the exported file), it is possible to specify the size of the exported file using the same-name switch. If the size of the exported file is larger than the specified value, then the file will be divided into several parts—volumes. Positions of the Exported file size switch correspond to following ways of defining the volume size: 

1. CD—the files of this size are suitable for record on CD disk (670 MB).

2. DVD—the files of this size are suitable for record on DVD disk (4,7 GB, for AVI file—2 GB).
   

   Note

   If you selected CD or DVD, and the size of the archive that needs to be exported is larger than the disk size, the recording will go as follows: the part of the exported archive will be recorded on the inserted disk. Then the disk drive will open for the next disk to be inserted. After inserting a new disk, the next part of the archive will be recorded on it. And so on, until all video recordings are exported

   
   

3. Divide by alarms—division into files is performing if there are time intervals between the records. If the recording is continuous, alarms are not considered.
4. Specify the volume size in megabytes in the text field. The AVI file should not be set to more than 2048 MB. If you set a larger value, the size of the resulting files will still not exceed 2 GB.

When you change the period (see General settings of export), the disk space required for saving the specified period of archive is automatically calculated and displayed:

Information about the required disk space is displayed when exporting without data conversion and when exporting in the original format, but it is not displayed when exporting with recompression (see Select export mode). Information about available disk space is always displayed.

If there is not enough disk space to save exported files, the Export button (see Starting export) becomes inactive and the "It is not enough free disk space" message is displayed at the bottom of the window.
