Thanks so much.

When you say change data rate are you talking about in compressor or in DVDSP?

In compressor I can’t get the 22GB QT file to output higher than 1.67 GB using:

DVD Best Quality 90 min > MPEG-2 6.2 Mbps 2 pass

Thanks for that, but I still don’t understand why when I go to DVDSP the file size is only 1.2 GB. It seems to me that a bigger file would be better quality. No matter how much I adjust the date rate in Compressor using DVD 90 min Best Quality I still can’t get a file larger than 1.2 GB.

I’ve tried your suggestion inside DVDSP and adjusted the data rate but the file size stays the same

I’m just exporting to a quicktime file. Not using Compresser. The quicktime file is 22 GB. I am making an SD DVD. If the QT file is 22GB why is DVD STUDIO only using 1.2 GB of that data?

Confused

Clip were processed from H264 to ProRes using MPEGstream clip. I use the process you describe. The quality is good. A half hour interview is only 21 GB. That seems small. I was thinking there must be a better quality (quicktime or another format) that would give me even higher quality

Okay, what I’m thinking of doing is this: I will have 4 internal drives in my Mac Pro. I will do nothing to the MacHD OSX disk (drive 1). I will raid0 drive 2 and 3 to use as scratch disk and use the 4th disk as a backup.

I will also backup to external firewire 800 drives?

Does that sound about right, or should I raid drives 2,3 and 4 and use the external firewire drives for backups?

Does using 3 drives in the raid0 configuration give me more than just using 2?

Thanks again

David,

Okay, I’m doing it. I assume that copying everything to externals drives and back to internal raid is the correct way. Forgive my anxiousness, but I would hate to do it wrong and lose parts of my project.

Thanks for taking the time to walk me through this

So, then I should transfer all my Video and FCP folders from my two internal drives to external drives (to hold info since I am in the middle of a project) — then set the internal drives to Raid0 (which will erase everything) and then copy folders from the external drives back onto my internal Raid drives?

If I were to go RAID:

Do I need a RAID card?

Should I go RAID 0 or RAID 1?

If I go RAID 0 and one disk goes they all go, right?

Would I be able to back up RAID disks to external disks in case of an internal failure?

I am using two WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200 rpm. Could I use these?

A lot of questions I know, but if I am going to do this I want to do it right.

Thanks
