Thanks for the reply Harm. I understand that everyone has a different opinion and different experiences with drives. But I would still like to hear others opinions on what they are using and how the drives had faired. StorageReview.com is an ok site, but not very up to date and also doesn’t talk much about external drives. I understand that an external drive is just the internal drives they are reviewing in an enclosure but the enclosure can cause a lot of problems, which is what we are having. We (the editing community) use external drives differently then most people considering the large files that we transfer back and forth. So it would be nice to hear from other professionals instead of people who just use drives to backup pictures and documents.
Anyway, like I said if I could get some different opinions on what people are using that would be great

Seagate owns Maxtor now just as an FYI. So if you plan on going with a Maxtor you might as well get the Seagate instead, I’m not sure how long the Maxtor name will be around for.

Is it possible that you ran duel monitors at once and now you aren’t running them? It maybe a strange question but if you did the encoder might have been opening on another screen, which isn’t there any more so it’s off your desktop.

(from the help menu, I pointed this out to you in your last post.)
To calculate a bit budget
Bit budgeting provides a target video data rate for the project. You can either use a pencil and paper to quickly develop one, or you can create a spreadsheet to do the calculations for you.
When bit budgeting for projects to be distributed on 4.7 GB DVDs that contain a single stream of compressed audio, you can use the simplified formula of 560 / x = bit rate in Mbps, where

That all depends on the rate at which the file is transcoded. A lower setting will give you quality loss. I think if you search for bit rate calculator in the help you might be able to do the math to figure it out.

As long as they are linked they will move together. Unless you have mono audio and you are trying to move them to a stereo channeled track, in that case it won’t work. You have to create new audio tracks that are mono.

Well, if you going to place this on the web, you will want to stay away from an AVI. The file will be too big to be put on the web. You will either want to make a QT streaming file or a WMV. Those will be the easiest to make, and you could even use the Sorenson 3 codec if you wanted to make a QT file.

Why don’t you match the audio up in Premiere then export the audio only as a wav file and import that into your AE project. (or MP3 that might save a bit of space too. Just lay the audio down and export everything from AE. That might save on file size. Also, if you’re export for the web you should get a lot smaller file. Do you want a QT file as the final product?

No, you’re looking at the Sorenson Video Codec for a QT file. That is just a codec Sorenson released. What type of source material are you working with and what type of file do you want? WMV, QT, Flash. 320×240 is pretty standard, but music videos are usually high motion so you might want a larger size. The bit rate also depends on the audience you are trying to reach and what type of server you’re running. Post some more information about your material.
