What we should do is capture in Vegas, edit in Prem Pro and post in Avid. Or maybe someone should make a takeover bid for all three, Sony, Adobe and Avid and kill all arguments?

Sorry Jason, I meant of course, Prem Pro on the main drive with Windows etc.
The reason for seperating your video files (Raid) and preview files (different drive) is that when you render, for instance, you access one drive (for reading) and the other for writing. Quite a marked difference in speed and time compared to both being on the same drive.
In regard to your raid vs single drive you will find the difference in speed to be about x 1.5 and this will vary according to the type of disc activity, file size etc.
I agree that heat wouldn’t appear to be your problem with your setup. You can easily sort this out by taking the side off the case and run a normal house fan onto the MB.

Jason, the best set up with scratch disks is as follows…
Drive (1) Adobe program
Drive (2 – Raid) Video files – the files you capture from the camera or other sources.
Drive (3) All temporary files, preview files, conformed files.
Now, you can get away with combining files from Drive (2) and (3) but for efficiency you need to seperate the Adobe program from other files or your system will constantly be seeking information from the one source which, as the project grows larger, will slow down everything.

You said “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?”
David, lighten up. My comments were meant to be humorous and I am sure Tim was being his useful self.
If I read your background right, 1191 posts on this site and a string of doco’s on your web site, then you should know the limitations of your NLE (Adobe) really well by now.
You could try Avid or Vegas, their management tools may be right up your alley, but with 45 hours of footage I’m sure both programs would give you something to complain about. And I guess the question with Avid and Vegas would be “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?”Redgum Television Productions

Yes Mike. I ran into the same problem and quickly scrapped Quicktime v7.

Mentally challenged? Hmmmmm!!! Shooting ratio of 45:1 for a doco? I think the author of this thread may need professional help. Just not sure whether it should be medical or creative! Good luck.

Hopefully Prem Pro V2 will help in this area?

Sorry Annabelle, I must have misread your question, hence the question about HDV. I run my timeline back to the Z1 (HDV) and then dub straight from the camera to a DV VCR in SD 4:3. Like Tim says, you need to have shot with 4:3 in mind originally.
