Adobe should fix this
This might seem small, but it’s really a pain if you do a lot of editing…….When choosing the folder to log video to the folder to log audio to should automatically change to the video folder in “settings” instead of having to go through five mouse clicks to do it. I think most of us put the video and audio in the same folder.

So, did you submit a feature request to Adobe?

did now

The reason it is set this way is to allow the user to set a “seperate” folder in order to prevent bottlenecking through a firewire data stream or overall disk data stream. Many users report a better user experience when using audio and video on two seperate disk drives (not on a partition only, on two seperate drives).

hmmmm. never had a problem with them being in same folder.

And nor should you…i still laugh my azz off at the ‘old school sticklers’ who think that this is a must for video editing with todays systems. WAKE UP FELLAS, for the past 4 years at least most hard drives have had speeds in excess of 35mb/s sustained read/write. Today youd have to look hard to find a single 7200 hard drive that cant get over 50 with the latest hiting 70mb/s. Hook 2 together in the simplest raid and these figures double.
Whats the data rate of dv…? around 3.5mb/s, even uncompressed D1 video is only 25mb/s…can anyone do the math on that?

There is a very big diference between mb/s (megabits per second) and the correct terminology: MB/S. Mega ia a capital M and bytes is a capital B.
And yes most modern hard drives are capable of high data rates. However, sustained performance is what counts for video editing and that may mean reading or writing across multiple platters and sectors at both extremes of the disk surface. It is here that SCSI, raided SCSI and/or striped ATA drives are the ones guranteed to be able to move video around at the needed data rates for higher formats.

We are guessing here right? Or making it up as we go? In the Windows DV avi world audio and video is interleaved – that is what the “i” in “avi” stands for, so it must be a neat trick to get the system to write the audio data to one drive and the video data to another. And then bring it back together. Maybe with a multi-core processor? Of course apologies to ex Matrox RT2000 users who actually had to put up with the fact that Matrox did figure out how to split the two streams – but, IMHO, never really figured out haw to bring them together. And nothing else could play their files properly. RIP RT2000
