Transferring the rendered images

To use the disk_recorder utility, you must use the command line:

1. Start the command line by choosing Programs > Command Prompt from the main Start menu.

2. At the prompt that appears, type the command to transfer the files to the disk recorder. Its syntax is:

disk_recorder arguments files

where the arguments are as follows:

-h host	Name of host to which the disk recorder is attached
-p prefix	Prefix given to copied files' names - typically the pathname of the disk recorder on its host - or none if none required
-r r_suffix	Suffix given to copied files' frame numbers on disk recorder, or none if none required
-l l_suffix	Suffix to match when files specifies a directory, or none if all files to be copied
-n start	Frame number used for first file copied to disk recorder
-d digits	Number of digits in copied files' frame numbers on disk recorder

and where the files can be one of the following:

• A list of files, which are copied in order.

• A single directory, from which all files with the suffix l_suffix are copied, in ASCII sorting order.

To see the order in which the files will be copied, type:

cd directory
echo *.l_suffix

For example:

cd /fs/ScratchDisc/AnimoRenders/StreetGirl01
echo *.yuv

You may need to prefix the command with the full pathname of disk_recorder script. For example, if it's in its normal location of C:\Program Files\CAS\Animo\bin, you would instead type:

C:\Program Files\CAS\Animo\bin\disk_recorder arguments files
