SCSI 15000 versus 2x10000 SATA on RAID 0?

[samsc]

All test conducted with DV footage, motion JPEG to follow

Results:
SCSI
DV at 720x576 - 5 Layers till frames dropped
DV at 1024x768 - 4 Layers till frames dropped

gareth-

dv doesnt work at 1024x768 - you can create the movies but it doesnt work- all quicktime does is resize a 720x576 movie. DV is both fixed size and fixed bit rate.

did you install the latest version of the atto scsi drivers - the ones on any cd didnt work last time i tried?

http://www.attotech.com/software/drivers.html

its shown as version 4.1 on the UL5D driver page.
you will need to login and create an account - if you havent.

if you didnt you need to as the default driver has very poor performance.

Hi Richard

Yes i do have the latest drivers from atto installed, and just to add some more detail, the SCSi drive is a Fujitsu MAX3073NP, and the SATA drives are the Western Digital Raptors WD1500ADFD.

I can't believe i never new that about DV, doh, i am just about to encode the same video footage as Motion JPEG at 60% and see how they compare.

Cheers

there are many different dv settings too.

you need to check which dv codec you used.

you need to email me your pdf profile so i can check your files.
