The text of the resolution must exactly match the text in the Media Creation dialog box. To
disable DV 25, for example, type

available.

To enable the resolutions you disabled:
t Navigate to the location of the DisabledRes.txt file and delete it.
Setting Drive Filtering
Your Avid editing application lets you select any drive on your system to use for media storage.
However, high-quality resolutions require striped drives.
Because media files are very large, you can filter drives that are not suitable for media storage
out of the list of available drives. Filtering drives in this way provides you with a convenient way
to store media only on drives with sufficient space.

If you are working in a network environment, see “Drive Filtering in Networked Workflows” on
page 106.
c
Your Avid editing application does not prevent you from using non-Avid drives, but Avid
cannot ensure their reliability.
