    scretch disks

    Posted by Nina Bjer on March 5, 2010 at 10:06 am

    Hi,
    Have spend ages trying to find ways of increasing the performance of my editing. I would be super happy for any help with this! 🙂

    Captured Video & Audio: should I put this on harddrive C or D?

    Video & Audio Previews: should I put this on harddrive C or D?

    Media Cache: should I put this on harddrive C or D?

    DVD Encoding: should I put this on harddrive C or D?

    Thanks so much in advance!
    Nina

    From reading I have understood that I should do this:
    C: OS, apps and project files (previews, media cache?)
    D: Video files/sourzefiles (the captured)

    You should always keep video source files on a driver or array other than the app/os disk, also it helps to have another drive for things like media cache, preview files, audio clips and images, etc. it allows the drive/array with the source files to be able to stream more layers/trks of video, also its putting your eggs in different baskets, you loose less data in case of a drv. failure, also backup you project files to optical disk.
