I think I know the answer but wanted to ask the group. Copying 24 hour XDCamHD disks/day times 9 cameras for 3 weeks would yield 4,536 Virtual Volumes. Assuming that each day is in a parent folder for the day with 216 Virtual volumes inside there would be 21 Parent/Day folders with 216 files each. Come online is it conceivable that all I would have to do is mount the 21 day parent folders and the sequences would link through ama to the virtual XDCam volumes in the parent folders. This would happen after the Virtual volumes have been ama'd and transcoded to 10:1 for offline in 9 camera multicam groups. I find this a big if to think that big of something filling up a 56TB san with virtual volumes will link through ama reliably. We already have the infrastructure to do the show on DVCProHD tape which would be my preference but this workflow is being considered. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated and of course they start shooting in less
three weeks so there's not much time to test the feasibility of this on a large scale.
