my problem is, here on site @ my client’s, there is a firewall blocking the download. i need to either dig up their i/t. person and see if they will let it through, or downlad at the home office and bring it in. methinks i will try plan b first.

Thanks. Will do. Now all I have to do is dig up their I.T. person and get them to unblock the QT download page. It’s always something……………………….

I did a little digging and found that 7.1 is the approved version of quicktime. They have version 7.6.2. I can’t say when it was installed. Might you know how to go about putting 7.1 back?

good to hear. that is how i used to delete long ago until my pinkies got slapped by a fan of the media tool. it used to work just fine. methinks i will return to that method. i also used to completely delete and reformat drives occasionally. but this was when i was on staff at a facility where we had a week’s break once in a while, where all projects were complete and nothing overlapped. can’t do that here.

maybe i can juggle files around to free up one drive at a time so i can give it a good cleaninig. think that might work?

I had not thought of folder to folder copying. Cool beans. Thanks.

Looking into the template software as well….

The purpose of the DVD is 2-fold. It is how they archive old programs, and how they distribute copies- mainly to participants as a thankyou. They used to just burn a DVD copy to a cheap external DVD recorder. They had a lot of complaints about the discs not playing on home machines. They also had problems making copies. (They have one of those 5 burner copy systems) When I came on board, I started making the discs the way we are discussing, and the complaints stopped completely. There are no menus, but I do add chapter markers for individual segments, mainly as a convenience.

Perhaps a new external recorder may be in order. I am willing to sacrifice chapters for speed in this case, if the DVDs recorded are consistantly solid. (Example: We don’t want to send an unplayable disc to the Mayor)

Thanks. Will look into Carbon Coder. This is not my system, so I can’t just go out and buy stuff. I can, however, recommend. The HP Workstation that drives the Avid is a single processor unit. Do you think the Carbon Coder would speed things up on it?
