Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MXF folders

From Avid:

Q : Is there a limit to the number of files that go into the MXF folders

For ISIS v1.6

· Up to 10,000 files in a directory and 10,000 directories, although individual client accounts might require restrictions on files and directories based on performance issues (The total file number that the system director will handle is around 2,500,000 to 3,000,000)

Q: is that why there suddenly appears a folder 2 along with folder 1?

It is by design.

For sub folder in MXF folders

· The Windows OS starts to slow down after 10,000 files. This is a limitation of the OS itself, not of the Avid. After 10,000 files, the system cannot buffer it's file count fast enough, as well as the Avid's Media Databases also not updating correctly, if at all.

That's why a new folder will be created when the number of media files is around 5,000 , so that Avid can more efficiently and reliably maintain its Media Database files, giving overall stability and speed back to the system.
