Thanks, Steve.

We’ve got a WD My Book Live 3TB Network Attached Storage drive.

Not sure if I need to upgrade my network switcher or some other components, but it doesn’t seem to pack the punch needed to feed two computers at once. Are you running all Cat 6e? I’ve got a mix of Cat 6e and Cat 5e.

Hi, Stephen.

Thanks for the advice. I MAY have it fixed now. I checked how I was running the program, and apparently I was running it as a user, not administrator. I also checked the sharing/privileges of each user account and so forth. I changed a few things to allow everyone to read/modify, etc… We’ll see if this fixes everything.

Thanks for your time!

Any other general pieces of advice for trying to set it up for both my wife and I to edit projects across the network? Store it all on one computer and use it as the ‘server’ for both computers (backups not withstanding).

Thanks for the advice.

I’ve double checked the end actions and such, and as far as I can tell everything looks right. I can use the “next” button and go straight where it is supposed to, but when it plays on its own it will jump back to the menu prematurely.

I’m not familiar with the “format” option you speak of. I have been preparing the project then burning the previously prepared project to disc. Is that the same process you’re speaking of?

I use Sony Vegas for editing. Would you suggest rendering the files to MPEG in Vegas and then importing the MPEGs to DVDSP?

Thanks again for the advice.
