UNC
Connection
Even though vConverter uses a UNC to point to the target server, you
may select a target drive letter path (e.g., D:\TEMP) instead. To
allow capturing to a local path, vConverter automatically creates a
share with strict permissions to allow the source to access the target.
This share is removed once capturing is complete. If you do not want
to use a share, you must use a UNC.
