Installing FCS2 from 9 DVDS!!! Can’t wait for Blu-ray!!!!

[Walter Biscardi]

It’s a lot of material that has to be accessible to everyone back to G4 towers. Not really sure what you want them to do. I’m not complaining. All of our installs have gone smoothly here so far. Takes approx. 2 hours, but again, it’s a lot of material.

Use the old floppy discs instead:) Here is the new FCS2 on 20,833 discs. Give yourself a good two weeks to install it.

since the EVERYTHING FCS2 install is over 55 gigs, we will soon need something more than blu ray.

Geez and I thought Vista was a pig….

Really don’t understand the point of your post. So it’s 9 DVDs, big deal. Install it and start having fun with it like countless other people who have been posting their good installation stories have been doing. Two machines here with smooth installations so far.

9 DVDs or 1 big blue ray, still going to take 2 hours to install no matter how you slice it.

The point is that it’s nice to let something like that work while you’re gone.

I’d much rather set a 12 hour compression over night than capture 8 different 30-minute DV tapes. For me, that’s a 1 minute job versus a 4 hour job. It’s the same principle here.

I, too, am looking forward to 50 GB discs in the future.

There isn’t a point 🙂 Just friendly cow talk relating to other FCP users. moooooooooo!!!

I’ve taken to the habit of copying my install discs to our server as DMG files. Then when I need to do an install I mount ALL the disc images at once and run the install. Not one request for discs to change.

You can install it sans all those templates and keep it a ton smaller…
