Selecting the Recorded File Format
The QuickStream DV ships from the factory preset to record DV in the
QuickTime (.mov) file format. If your video editing program utilizes the Quicktime
(.mov) file format (e.g. Apple Final Cut Pro/Express, QuickTime Pro, etc.) then
this is the file format you require. To instruct the QuickStream DV to record in a
different file format follow the instructions below:

4. At this point, we will enter the QuickStream DV’s “File Format
Specification” mode. We do this by pressing and holding the “RECORD”
