Its a Lacie Firewire 800, 750 Gig.
I bought it new just a couple of months ago, had no problems with it so far. Is this a drive issue, or some sort of bug in FCP do you think?
Never had this problem before, Im assuming its something to do with the long timline, since until now i never cut anything longer than 22 minutes. This is 3 hours.

No I tried even exporting just one hour and that had same problem.
I cant even render the sequence totally, i.e. there are a lot of sections where the render indicator at the top is not totally grey and still has the slightly different “FUll” status colour. WHen I try to render them out, i get a notice saying that I am out of space for rendering, and to use render manager. But I have 170 gig free on my drive, so that shouldnt be a problem…

I dont have a dual layer burner. So does this mean I should split the footage onto 2 DVDs?
No other way around it?

Thanks very much.
I dont think we can organise that many wireless mics.
Could you please recommend what kind of mics I should attach to the lights?
And how will I record the sound from them if there are, say, 4 mics.?

Hi THere,
thanks for all the replies.
I went with the APIOTEK EC-0003D
it cost me $400 Hong Kong and seems to work fine. There were a few glitches at first like FCP frezing and causing bad crashes, but now seems to work ok, not sure why.
Everything is definitely faster than before with Firewire 800. Ive noticed more things are in realtime in my timeline now, and rendering takes much less time, so eSATA definitely worth it. eSATA II must be even better, but out of my price range at the moment.

There are some really great tips in your reply, thanks very much for that.

Thanks very much.
When you say progressive is the way to go, I have a Sony V1P.
it has a 25p function, do you mean I should be using that?
I normally shoot in 108050i. I dont think there is a 50 fps progressive option, only a 25p one. Should I use this?
-
OK So from what I can gather,
it will speed up everything, including scrubbing, rendering, and also the realtime effects?
-
Ok thanks.
Its just a matter of cost at the moment then.
Is there some sort of a performance chart somewhere I can look at… for editing with FCP using Firewire 800 Vs eSATA?

Did you find a solution to this?
I have exactly the same problem, working with DV files, which – oddly – scrub fine when i freshly import them. But then later on scrub terribly slow, unless uadio scrubbing is turned off. So yes, the video scrubs fine, but the audio not. Did you work out why? So weird…
