First backup everything.
You do a disk repair from the Lion side?
You may need DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. If none of that works you will likely need to reinstall MC6.
Good Luck,

Alex,
You realize that it takes a narrow set of parameters to get a video that Vimeo does not re-encode. Have you read their docs?
From Sasha1 in the Avid Commuinity forums:
these are my squeeze settings for Sorenson H.264 (from 1080i):
non-streaming
2-pass VBR
4000
1280 x 720
maintain aspect ratio
frame rate 1:1
Audio — 224 / 16 / 44k
these settings are also good for Youtube HD. the data rate could be lower – if your file size is too big then you have to experiment with short clips to see how low to go and keep quality
The she adds:oh I forgot, you have to deinterlace (apply the crop and deinterlace filter and then uncheck crop). check the black level of your dvd on a regular tv — you may have to add a black restore
Good Luck and Please let us know what works,

I humbly throw my book into the pile
Has it been updated for V6?

Thanks Shane,
Just finished reading a review that compared Squeeze to Compressor using a ProRes to H.264 encode. Compressor was cleaner but the tester was able to improve the Squeeze encode with a preset (he called it a filter) that is supposed to help web video.
The reason I asked is that I have Compressor and some others but I not sure I have anything that handles DNXHD but I will look at my Episode 6. Not a fan of the supposedly easier interface Episode uses these days.
BTW, is it the full or the lite Squeeze?
Thanks Again,

Hello,
I did not see anyone mention this, but you can turn down the playback resolution. It really helps on my non CUDA equipped machine.
Good Luck,

[Jack Guthrey] “I’d look for a device that supports LTFS”
LTFS has some serious issues in use. I don’t have a link handy but one might google it.
The solution I ordered with BRU PE allows the client to have a copy of BRU PE on a CD to install and retrieve their files. Not sure what they are using to make the archive but usually folks that started in the Un*x world use one standard or another.
Have a fun Fri.,

[Charles Cunliffe] “What I meant was there is an automatic fan Speed button I can click. I did not know what you meant by if this is idle? Do you mean are they changing much? Answer is no….”
Idle means the computer is not actively running any programs.
He is giving good advice. You likely have a hardware problem of some kind. If the machine is still under warranty you should get the vendor involved.
Good Luck,

Anyone ever considered setting up a Bucket on Amazon S3?
Cheap cloud storage with the infrastructure of Amazon behind it.Cloud storage should only be used for non mission critical items. What if you need a clip and Amazon or your Internet connection is down. Twitter, RIM, and even GMAIL are not always up. Also, if you do much work cloud storage would get expensive. And you have to keep paying.
🙂
PS: People forget that an Internet connection can be brought down by a worker with a backhoe.

“If only the rendered film, you might look into getting some cheap online space in addition to hard drives.”
For as long as the online storage company stays in business or you continue to pay them.
As to 100yr Blu-Ray, film and shellac/vinyl/whatever are the only mediums I can think of that have lasted 100 years are still playable. Oh, and paper piano rolls. Current Blu-Ray formats are already being supersceded in labs. You think someone will be able to find a working Blu-Ray drive in a hundred or even 30 years? They still sell them, but have you seen a ZIP drive lately? CD was by far the most widely used optical medium for audio and storage and it is on the way out.
On the other hand, I have seen large stores of mainframe oil exploration data in storage on tape here in Houston. Wanna bet I can find a drive to play them back?
IBM essentially invented the modern disk drive and they say use tape.
Tom and Thomas, you are most welcome.
I hope you folks are having a good eve/whatever,

Hey Todd,
Don’t forget that some of us are still waiting for support on the 330m. I’ll bet that quite a few folks edit on the 2010 17″ .
Thanks,
Robert
