From Multicam version 9.00, the A/V material and data are stored in 8MB
blocks, no longer in 2MB blocks. In XFile, the EVS MXF backup files will still
be created in 2MB block format. When the EVS MXF backup files, or any
other backup file in another format are restored, they are obviously restored
in the 8MB block structure on the XT[2] server.

Since the backup into EVS MXF files of 8 MB blocks was possible in the
former version of XFile, you will still be able to convert such backup files to
2MB backup files in the Maintenance module. The converted backup files will
be stored in a specified folder.
To convert manually EVS MXF files of 8MB blocks to EVS MXF files of 2MB,
proceed as follows:
1. Select the file(s) to convert in the XFile list of the Maintenance module.
2. Right-click to open the contextual menu.
3. Select Transfer/Convert > Convert EVS MXF 8MB to 2MB.
The Browse for Folder window opens:
4. Select the folder in which you want to save the converted files.
5. Click OK.
The converted backup files are generated and saved in the given folder with
the default file name specified in the XFile Config. Session window,
Advanced Parameters tab (see section ‘Backup Filename Format String’, on
page 36).
