Digitize/consolidate problems to networked drive
We are using a Sun Systems 24TB NAS for media storage on several projects. So far, all well for a year or so, except for this recent occurrance: When a HDV tape of 60 minutes is digitized to the NAS, the digitize stops when the file size has reached 2GB and leaves a partial dig which we can use. When digitizing to the PC’s internal drives, the whole tape is ingested. The same goes for a consolidate (in excess of 2GB)to the NAS, except the consolidate obviously doesn’t leave behind a partial. We can transfer a media file well in excess of 2GB (32GB transferred OK), so the file size limitation doesn’t appear to be due to the NAS. Does Avid have some restrictions when it comes to digitizing/consolidating to a NAS? PC is an HP xw8200, 4GB RAM, Win XP SP2, running MC ver3.1.3. Media creation set to MXF, NAS connection over a 1GHz Ethernet. Any ideas? Cheers, Stu.

As a work around, I suggest dumping your tape on the nas, as an omf file. ther’s nothing new here but at least it’s worthy of mention. Oh yeah maybe try to copy the freshly created file using the os.
