Best disk set up?

Sorry you guys may be sick of answering this question but I hope this can be quick. To note I use my PC for video/photo editing and gaming (I can't afford two spearate PCs for this!).
These are currently the disks I own:
OS (+essential programmes like CS and a few games): 250GB Samsung SSD
Programs (that wont benefit from being on a SSD)/Steam Games: 1TB Samsung F3 HDD
Media (Photos, videos, music, films etc.): 4TB HDD.
Another 1TB Samsung F3 HDD which used to be the media drive.
Also got a 1TB external disk as backup.
So in total I have 4 disks in use (1x250gb SSD, 2x1TB HDD, 1x4TB HDD). I'ld like to know which would be the best way to set them up for optimal performance in Premiere and Photoshop??
Thanks a million!!
EDIT: Ok i did some reading around so what do you guys think of this set up?
250GB SSD: OS + Essential programmes (CS installed here)
1TB HDD: Other programmes/Steam Games + Pagefile/Media Cache/Scratch disk
1TB HDD: Projects, Media
4TB HDD: Previes, Export + media storage (music, films etc.)

Thanks, that was a very helpful link!
Do you think it'ld be better to go with the setup where:
D: Media, Projects
E: Media Cache
F: Previews, Exports
or
D: Media, Projects, Exports
E: 2 discs in Raid 0: Media cache and Previews

  • Best disk set-up for editing HDV on iMac G5

    Are any of the G5 iMac's external interfaces (FireWire 400/USB 2.0) really fast enough for editing and playback of HDV in FCE or am I always going to suffer jerky stop-start performance? Currently using a LaCie d2 Quadra 500GB drive connected via USB which supports 'up to 60MB/s' according to spec – is this set-up going to cut it? If not, what's optimum for this iMac?

    The application knows where the media is. It knows what bus it's coming from. Are you getting dropped frames in playback? Do you get an error message when you play back HDV material? There are many factors that can cause dropped frames. The error message lists some of them.

  • What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

    I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
    I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
    The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
    This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • Workflow and scratch disk setting

    To improve the speed on editing and rendering, what would be the best workflow and scratch disk setting for follows?!
    1) video files create by Canon 5D mark II on CF card
    2) Video files create by JVC HM700 (in HD, .mov format)
    Above 2 formats I usually work with FCP on follow hardware ,
    iMac 3.4G i7
    8G RAM
    Primary drive, 256G SSD
    Secondary, 1T harddrive
    For each project, video material most likely around 120G.
    i) What would be the best setting for the scratch disk in order to boot the speed on editing and rendering?!
    II) to save up the disk space on SSD, should I set the video storage on the 1T harddrive and the video n audio rending path to the SSD?!
    iii) anything setting should I care while transfer both video format to FCP for a better speed for editing n rendering?
    Pls advice!

    don't put ANY media on your startup drive-- that would include renders.  I'm guessing this is an imac with the ssd and a 1TB?  what I do is have one drive for media, one for renders and a third for exports.  That lightens the load considerably on any one drive at a time and arguably gives marginally faster throughput.
    1TB seems like a lot, but these days it really isn't.  I've got 10tb hooked up to my machine, with 3 x 1TB ready to drop into a drive dock for archives-- and I'm always out of room.
    You've got to pay attention to the codec your cameras shoot in.  Dunno about the JVE, but it's likely an h.264 variant of mpeg4-- do NOT try to edit with this.  convert all your footage to prores LT or prores.  HQ is definitely overkill.

  • Optimal Scratch Disk Setting for Notebook/Macbook Pro Users

    After doing a ton of research, I came across THIS guidline for different scratch disk setups but I am still not sure what would be the best setup for me.
    Here is what I am working with for my Current Projects Work Station

    OWC Elite Mini and Dual Mini in Raid0 for Media Storage. Both 7200rpm Drives
    Currently I have my scratch disk set to the following:

    750GB HD: Partitioned - 250GB to Backup SSD and 500GB for Photo storage and PP Scratch Disk Video, Audio and Previews
    OWC Minis: Media Storage for Current Projects
    My question is, what can I do to optimize my premiere pro settings?
    Should I move my scratch disk to my external HD since its a faster drive?

    I have a very similar setup but am using a couple pieces of new gear. Wondering if Harm or any of the rest of you have any advice.

    I'm not using the 2nd internal drive for anything since it is 5400rpm. I just use it for backups, photo, music storage.
    So I ususally work small projects with the projects, media, exports, renders all pointing back to the esata connected external LaCies.
    Should I point media cache to the 500GB SSD my internal c drive? The answer to this is still confusing since I've read many conflicting posts in various places.
    Any other suggestions for now with this setup? (External Tbolt connected raid not yet in my budget.)

    I think it is fully patched; the storage is fully maintained by Sun and the patches of our systems are as well.
    The thing is that there are three (identical) systems in a cluster, and every once in a while one of them (varying) shows such a strange behavior.
    Most of the time a reboot solves it, but that's something I don't really want to do.
    Right now I'm checking the rpc-meta-daemons...
    I'm missing one: /usr/sbin/rpc.metad
    I'll restart the service...
    Hmm, nothing happens.
    I've started the process rpc.metad by hand, but still the same message appears and then rpc.metad disappears again.
    I'm lost; may have to reboot after all...

  • I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC

    Copied from a post else where, any help greatly appreciated!!
    I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC for my needs & wondering how others do for similar needs....
    I have a 2TB TC that I have set up so that all of mine & my girlfriends photo's, music, movies & documents are on the one location so that we can access it wirelessly from both our MacBooks & also from a MacMini which I'm going to buy in a month or 2. Changing the location for where iTunes & iPhoto look wasn't a problem but browsing through iPhoto in particular is really slow due to the number of previews I presume, and also we are now unable to have any of the media with us when traveling about, synching phones on the move is a disaster as well!
    Anyway,
    is there an easy way of setting up iTunes / iPhoto so that we can have all the data on the TC managed on the MacMini but import small iTunes Playlists & iPhoto Albums to our MacBooks without having to change in preferences where the applications look for data each time we get home?
    Any help anybody can offer would be grand!
    Thanks in advance.........

    You topic might be better suited for the iPhoto or iTunes forums, since your question seems to be with the application(s) functionality, not really the Time Capsules. However, if you start iPhoto or iTunes while holding down on the "option/alt" key, you can manually select a library to access. When you want one of your computers to access the library on the Time Capsule, make sure it's mounted as a shared volume on your Desktop and then open iTunes and point it towards the library on the Time Capsule. If you want to use a smaller library on your computer, open iTunes and point it to the library on your Mac. I've never switched back and forth multiple times between multiple libraries, so you might check in the iPhoto or iTunes forums to see if any issues may arise from doing this repeatedly.

  • What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

    I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    I have used several settings with not much luck including:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
    MPEG-4 Video, H.264
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
    I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
    The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
    Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    How much are you willing to spend?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

  • Best disk maintenance utility

    Is there a 'best' disk utility program that cleans up the disk of unnecessary files, etc?
    I am not 'strong' computer user so need something that is pretty user friendly and intuitive to use.
    Thank You...

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

    What is the best export setting for video from premeire to blogger.com or blogspot.com

    I have not been able to find the technical limits/specs for the site Blogger or blogspot.com. That is why I made the post here thinking some Adobe users may have experimented already and come up with good export settings for AVI DV video to a format optimized for Blogger.

  • Best security setting for TC? WPA, WPA2 clarification?

    I am using TC just as a wireless hard drive. What would the best security setting be? I am confused by WPA Personal and WPA/WPA2 Personal?
    Thanks in advance!

    With the TC the choices are: WPA/WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA2 Enterprise.
    The basic difference between WPA & WPA2 is the encryption type. WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), whereas WPA2 uses either TKIP or the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
    WPA/WPA2 Personal allows for both types of clients to connect, whereas, WPA2 Personal only allows clients that support AES.
    The strongest security of the two would be to use WPA/WPA2 Personal with all clients (Mac and PC) running WPA2.
