I would probably just scale until it fits. You will no doubt loose the crispness of the video due to interlacing issues.
If all the footage is 4:3, I would make the project as a 4:3 Project and make a mask to letterbox it off. In which case you will no doubt want to reframe some of the shots, to avoid loosing res doing this move your clips up or down in 8 pixel blocks. If you dont do this it will upset the interlacing and you picture will look soft. (this is for pal but I imagine its the same or similar). Very easy to spot on a video monitor, more difficult on PC screen. -
Also, i’m not 100 percent sure of this, but I see no reason why if you have for instance 2 removable caddys on your system why you couldnt also run your projects of 2 HDDs in caddys in a raid for better performance or back up…

I am going to be starting a project soon and had hoped to use Premiere CS3, as that is what they currently have. The last time I used Premiere (Pro 1.5)it didn’t have an OMF option, and it sounds like CS3 doesn’t either! This was a disaster last time as the post sound people that we deal with use pro-tools, and back then there was no way to export an OMF, I see that AutomaticDuck don’t even do plugins for this anymore… I really thought this would have been addressed by now, yikes! Back then I thought I should abandon ship for this reason alone. Good grief. Will the OMF patch work on CS3 does anyone know, I haven’t used it yet.

Hi, I have worked on some large projects, most recently on a system that used a hdd caddy systems. It worked really well, the caddy’s are easy and cheap to install and presumably faster and more reliable than a firewire and usb external drives. I have used USB2 in the past once, and found that every now and then I would get artifacts. It took some time to establish that it was the USB2 that was creating the problem and I have never used it again since. I have been using regular firewire drives etc (seems to be really stable).
