6.4 Join a Number Of Small Files Together
From version 042 onwards, it is possible to join a number of small files together into one
prior to burning. This is especially useful when there have been a number of power
interruptions creating several small files.
● Go to the "Set Burn” menu and use the ► key to scroll to “Join files” option. Set to
“yes” by ▲ key. (Section 3.2 page 7)
● Press the “Menu” key to show the “Set Burn File” menu and select the first file to
be joined together.
● Press the “DVD” key to power-up the DVD drive and then press again to open the
drive. Place a blank CD / DVD in the drive. Pres the “DVD” button again to close
the drive. The LCD will show “closing tray” followed by “media blank” .
● Press “DVD” again and the count down will be shown “Join in X seconds”.
Pressing any key at this point will abort the join of files.
NB: It is only possible to join files to a maximum of 1 GB.
6.5 Create one DVD file per day starting midnight
If AfterBurner is being used in 24-hour mode it is often useful to make one DVD per day
starting at midnight (ie one disk for Monday, Tuesday and so on). This can be achieved
by setting the “Burn at given time” option in the “Set Burn Mode” menu to “00:00”. In this
configuration, AffterBurner will record until midnight, try to burn a DVD (if available), and
then automatically start recording to a new DVD file at each subsequent midnight
thereafter (see Section 3.3, page 8).
6.6 Record only alarms.
To only record alarms, set the unit into long-term time lapse (eg 1year) in the “Set
Record Mode” menu. Then set-up the alarms to the required configuration by the “Set
Alarm Mode” advanced menu (see Section 4.4, page 16).
6.7 Enable Record Pause.
It is possible to configure AfterBurner to switch between “Record” and “Record Pause”
each time the record button is pressed. This mode is especially useful when you want to
manually start and stop recording but want to record the video to the same DVD file.
See Section 3.4, page 9.
