Conversion, and Export Paths
Any file format that can be played on the MMR/MMP can also be written (exported) to any
written format supported by the MMR. Written formats are WaveFrame, Pro Tools, and
OMF/SDII. The sole exception is that Digidesign Pro Tools files may be written as OMF files, but
not as WaveFrame files (shown as Not Permitted in the chart above). To convert Pro Tools to
WaveFrame, first export Pro Tools to OMF on the same disk, then use that OMF file for export to
WaveFrame (one extra step).
*This is true only if the Mac HFS disk being copied to is formatted identically (same block size),
otherwise Backup to a Mac volume with a different block size will yield a non-destructive project.
In this case, use Convert to Tape Mode to insure the project remains a TapeMode project after
being copied to the new disk.
