With a special export option, you can export a completed continuous (loop) record clip as MXF or QuickTime, with the result being a flattened stream file. Recording must be complete before you export the clip, however you can make sub-clips while record is underway and export the sub-clips. For this feature, MPEG-2 long GoP is not supported.
