Hi mate thanks for the information, the guy who ownes the company refered me to a link of exactly the size and speed he wants… finally…

https://www.bigkidlondon.com/services/corporate_video_comms/katemoss.html

Could I find out from this maybe what codex was used, size and bit rate?

Sorry to be a pain with all these questions and if it seems dumb. Just dont want to start exporting recorded footage in the wrong format

[Jason Laville]

so if i prep the video and i dont have to get involved in the web part whats the best codex, size and bit rate i should hand over to the web master so that he can resize and compress at his own accord for the company web? Also should I deinterlace and select sd or hd when putting into a codex like h264 or another codex? Are all web codex mpeg4?

[Jason Laville]

480X270 it is and what bit rate, sorry to be a pain mate

[Jason Laville]

Thanks mate for that, very informative, (i think thats the right spelling lol) so what resolution would you suggest I should export it too? Cheers

sweet I now know everything i needed to know big thanks to you guys, brilliant site… now im ready to crash and burn…. not literally though lol

[Jason Laville]

Okay, so am abouts to buy this:

3TB Pack – 3 x IBM (Hitachi) Deskstar 7K1000 SATAII 1TB 32MB

also will up grade graphic card to:

ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB Graphics Card

I have 4gb of ram, (not 2gb as I thought) do you think I need any more ram to run the 3 extra drives at raid 0?

Really only using this mac for final cut pro, also the raid 0 will this be where I set my scratch disk at from now on in fcp?

These are the last questions I swear lol

[Jason Laville]

Wow that straight forward thanks guys. Just one more thing, is it possible to buy 2 extra drives now, raid them, then get another say two months down the line and then include that in the raid? or would I have to stripe all three again and lose any media I had on the previous two?

Thanks, Im getting on my nerves now with all these questions lol

[Jason Laville]

Hi sorry guys quick question, I know how to install physically the internal hardrives, anyone can tell me what to do after that, I.e how to stripe 3 of the drives to raid 0 and keep the forth drive as my boot disk?

Cheers

[Jason Laville]

Brilliant lol cheers, just printed it and stuck it on my fridge lol.

Ordering external raid tomo, thanks once again
