just look at High point technologies… the DR Group in Los Angeles puts together an 8 bay solution that can come raid 5 through the High point utility… this 8bay raid 5 can run 10bit HD all day, or until you start pushing the drive past 80% capacity. Last I heard they are working on a eSAS connection that may produce higher speeds still at raid 5.

bogiesan,
how can you address a problem by first stating that you’ve never seen it, and then give an answer? That doesn’t make sense… by the way, corrupt media doesn’t have to be the solution, this can happen with or without bad media— it is a much more wide spread problem

yea, see that’s the problem, the issue isn’t in FCP, outside that world the files no longer exist. I don’t see how trashing the prefs will bring back files that can no longer be found on the drive. Maybe I’m just not seeing the whole picture here, have you seen corrupt preference files cause the autosaves and the saved files to disappear off the hard drive? Thanks,
Jordan

The other editors modified each clip… a new deck was brought in and finished the online— proper calibration would be a very key thought indeed.
thanks for all the response, it gives me a couple things to try in case this happens again, but it better not.

the xraid is an overprice piece of …
there are so many other options especially when you jump to fibre… but the other guy is right about the dvcpro HD… it’s only 7mb/s up to the 20’s mb/s on 1080 material… plenty for a Graid to handle, in fact I dig’d an entire movie offline to a coupld graid 500s. if you’re only dealing with the false HD world of dvcproHD you don’t need to spend rediculous cash with the xraid.

I guess I need to clarify a bit more, I have it running through a 1604 Mackie board… everything is done as is setup in the other 40 FCP bays, though the upgrading to 5.1.1 may have messed something up.
The board is set correctly and I have messed with all the gain and other levels, that is not the problem as I stated earlier in saying the levels are correct in the system prefs… this is only an FCP issue but thanks for the start

make sure you are completely updated on that dual 2- I have experienced numerous problems with other people’s dual 2 and not having upgraded their boot rom version (firmware 5.1.8f …ish)
upgrading the firmware is more than downloading, there is an slightly involved install attached to it. most download with the auto updater and forget to do the whole install action.

sounds like your sequence is not fit for what was shot on the 24P(not anamorphic timeline)… therefore it allowed the jpeg’s to fill the screen. make your jpeg’s fit the same image as your 24p— bring them in slightly bigger and shrink them down in FCP(easy route). Or crop the Jpegs to look just like the 24p— anything like that will work- don’t touch the sequence settings on the 24p, or you’ll end up in trouble. I might be imagining the wrong scenario here, but that’s what I got.

lets go over why you would want one configuration of the next— most raid configurations tend to be very similar in data rate when all things are matched up(number of drives, etc…)
Number of spindles and speed of the drives are the main factor for a raid configuration. 4 250’s in theory should give you a faster data rate than the 2 500’s based on how a raid configuration works- (writing to all drives at one time) — if it can spread the date out on to more drives than you can hit it with more data at a faster rate, meaning you might be able to drop some HD on it(compressed i’m sure… but nonetheless better than the alternative)— There are plenty of sites that can go further on this, but i’m sure you have plenty to go on already-

on any upgrade of the OS you should do a clean install- you wouldn’t see probs as you have described- back up essentials and do a clean one- download correct aja drivers/utilities and you should be fine.
if for some reason you can’t erase and install- run s.o.p’s (permissions, …etc… and drive repair)
