Thread: RAM disc gets 16 layers of dv playback

    RAM disc gets 16 layers of dv playback

    Using Esperance DV ram disc utility - i can get 14 layers of dv movies to playback at 25fps on my Intel 3.0Ghz 8Core mac...

    using a seagate 15k5 scsi disc gives about 7 layers with same footage.

    You can put stuff on a RAM disc and on SCSI at the same time and get improvements...

    Quad intel 2.66Ghz also does 14 layers with ram disc

    I also get 14 layers with 1GB ram disc on Intel.

    14 layers in 31ms for Quad 2.66Ghz.
    14 layers in 25ms for 8 core 3.Ghz

    kindof what you would expect from cpu speed increase.
