Important: To avoid a risk of permanent data loss we strongly suggest that cases produced in previous versions of VideoFOCUS are backed up before attempting to open them in version 5.0. See the Data Compatability section for further details.

Data Compatability:

The previous version of VideoFOCUS made substantial changes to the way that media is imported and stored within the application. These changes introduce a risk that cases created with a previous version of VideoFOCUS may not have all data preserved and could therefore suffer permanent data loss once opened in version 5.0. In order to reduce the risk of permanent loss of data we strongly recommend that if it is necessary to use version 5.0 to work on cases created with a previous version of VideoFOCUS an entire copy of the case directory and its contents are made before attempting to open the case in version 5.0.

Note that any previously installed versions of VideoFOCUS will still be installed and available for use after installing version 5.0.
