I did a quick google for 2TB raw Hard Drives on Amazon and the cheapest I see is around $90.00 for a Western Digital. Am I missing something in my search?

Re: [Avid-L2] XDCam EX Workflow nightmare

 

I guess it begs the question...

What happens if you render the video effects and do the export? If its
simple color correction, how long could that possibly take on a short
sequence? 5 minutes? Probably less.

[Avid-L2] Re: Trying to fix damaged P2 file?

 

That's been suggested but we don't have the original P2 Card to try this with. Is there some means by which I could take the drive and back load it to a P2 Card if I had access to a camera? According to one tech at Imagine who make P2 Log Pro I should try proxymill but that errored out on every clip in the volume when all the other clips seem to play nice. I did take the problem file and have P2 Log Pro rebuild the xml but the video errors still occur. It's frustrating that one program will play parts of the clip and another program plays the other parts of the clip. If only I could export out the working sections from P2 Log Pro but that doesn't seem to be a feature I've found. I only see an export to fcp xml.

[Avid-L2] Re: AAF from PT back into MC

 

Well when I get an aaf embedded there are tape names to the stems that come from the project name in Pro Tools, not the original source tape names because I get mixed down stems, or rerecorded stems if that is the term in Pro Tools.

This is for a music production where the intent is to edit the audio first and picture second. My guess is the workflow would be PT (edit/rough mix) -> MC (picture edit) -> PT (final mix/sweetening) -> MC (conform/output). The audio would be double-system with the tracks recorded into a multi-channel PT set-up. There are no tape names in the Tape column.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT:archive family movies

not sure, we price them by the current price of drives which is the big variable. we're using 2tb drives because of their inexpensive cost. you can start with 18tb(9drives) and add them in 18tb to fill up (if you want one huge volume), dont quote me but our cost is about 7k each for full 90tb with just gigE interfaces (that you can LAGG), then we just add a build fee on that. it's way better than raid 5/6 because it's 2parity zfs (doesn't accumulate data-rot), and way better than a drobo or synology and their proprietary hybrid format (if it fails you are screwed). it's for technically minded people though. we set them up but its up to you to administrate it from there. that's why it doesnt cost 135k like a barracuda backup server of the same size.

[Avid-L2] Re: OT:archive family movies

 

That is what I am currently doing. I am using the Drobo product based on Steve Hullfish' recommendation. <<http://www.drobo.com/products/>>

But this is not a fail safe approach. And no hard drives are a good long term archiving solution. :-(

John Moore said:

> alas they show the same error.

Maybe a Panasonic camera can fix this bad clip that you have?

The following anecdote may or may not be helpful.

Earlier this week, I had take 7 of 12 on a P2 card not transfer.

Avid would not load this DVCPROHD clip via AMA, nor would Panasonic P2
Viewer play it. When I looked at the file on the drive in Windows Explorer,
the file size was only 32 KB.

The P2 card had not been recycled yet; so, I got it back from the camera
operator.

(The camera operator confirmed that there had been a loss of AC power to the
camera on set. Presumably he had not stopped rolling on take 7 at the
time.)

When viewed in Windows Explorer, the file on the P2 card was also 32 KB.

Then, we put the card in a HVX200 camera -- not even the one that recorded
it, which was a HPX500 -- and take 7 had a red X instead of an image
thumbnail.

Using the camera, I was able to repair the clip. I believe that the menu
item was Operation > Repair Clip.

After the operation, a thumbnail came back, and the clip played.

Good luck!

-Jeff
