How much additional HD space is needed for Archive & Install?

Just curious because it seems Archive and Install is the safest option to go with.

Hi(bonjour)!
As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

  • How much hard drive space in needed for a Software upadate server

    I'm buying a new Mac Mini and wanted to know if the 256 GB SSD would be large enough to support running a software update server.
    I'm currently running a an older Mac Mini with a 500 GB drive.

    How much free space is on the 500 GB HD?.

  • How much temp / sort space is reasonable for a medium-large reporting db?

    I have 16G which is not enough for a user running a distcint against a complexly written view and it is the only query running at the time. About 500K rows returned from the base view. which is then joined to an additional table(14 rows). The view runs against 2 tables and 3 other views, it also use case statements and aggregate functions. The user who had written the base view is query savy, don't know that it could be improved. Could possisbly benefit from some index tuning... Thoughts? How much sort space is enough? Are there general guidelines? small 1G/ medium 8G / large 16/32G...

    Ummmm
    It kinda depends on how much sorting you need to do. Sorting comes from
    - select: order by, group by
    - select: distinct
    - select: union (not union all)
    - sort-merge joins
    And it also depends on how effective is your PGA management and whether you use PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to your advantage. And whether you starve the PGA (aggregate) on the machine.
    As a general rule of thumb, I'd start with sum of all (PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET + SGA) at 95% of machine (or less if needed to allow 250M RAM for operating system), set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to 40% of that figure and set TEMP tablespace size to 3x the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET.
    Of course, every Rule of Thumb has assumptions, and if the assumptions are not valid, the Rule Of Thumb degenerates to plain ROT. Therefore the assumptions need to be validated (continuously) by using the methods shown at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/memory.htm#sthref668
    Basically that means resize the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to get 85% of all sorting "in memory or 1-pass", and resize the TEMP tablespace accordingly.
    My analogy for your question: Can you tell me how big a snow shovel I should get for a small, medium or large yard? You would probably say "it depends on the amount of snow fall".

  • How much memory (in buffers) is needed for a simple webservice's call?

    Dear expert,
    I'm doing a research work about analysing the main memory usage in SAP ERP systems.
    I would like to find out the space that a simple webservice's call occupies in the buffers, but there is always something occupying the buffers. I know that my call to get the values occupies memory, that's why I use a webservice to get them (to avoid the SAPGUI), I call first $SYNC and I use a BAPI similar to the transaction ST02.
    So could someone help me to find out the way to mesure the memory used by a single webservice's call (it's a very simple, just to create a material)? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for that. Will try.

    Subject: How much memory (RAM) is needed for Elements 9 to automatically fill in the edges when using photome
    The key to successful use of edge fill is to ensure that you've got all the memory allocated to PSE that you can and that the file that results after you merge the panoramic is not too big. When PSE 9 first came out about a year ago, I fooled around with file sizes and I think that on my particular computer the merged file had to be no larger than 20 megs for edge fill to work. I did a quick search through this forum's history but I couldn't find my posts. Maybe somebody else can find them.

  • How much Minimum Disk Space is Required for Time Machine?

    Are there any recommendations from Apple for the size of external hard drive for Time Machine?
    Also, is there any formula for the amount of hard drive space = how any days, months, or years of backup available?
    Sorry about the poorly worded question.

    Size of HD = IBS + [30*DCD + 487*DCD]NM
    or
    Size of HD = IBS + 365NMDCD
    where
    IBS = Initial Backup Size (GBs)
    NM = Number of Months wanted before HD fills
    DCD = Daily Churn Data in GBs
    So lets say
    IBS=160 GB
    NM=24 (2 years wanted before having to worry about disk full)
    DCD=0.05 GB of daily churned data on average (50 MB of changed and new data)
    Size of HD = 160 + 365240.05 = 598 GB
    If you wanted just NM = 12 then the HD size should be around 350 to 400 GB
    Much depends on how many months you want to go before being bothered with disk full and how much average daily data churn you have.
    Note that TM will make much effort to clean up old data that can be safely deleted before giving up when disk becomes full. It will also provide you with the opportunity to clean up old backups yourself to free up space.
    Of course you can always re-format the TM backup HD and start over again but you obviously lose your TM backup history. You can also to decide you can delete the oldest 6 months of data and keep the more recent history to continue on with thr freed up disk space.

  • How much flash storage do I need for 13" Air for work/business?

    Hello - I have a 2010 15" MBP that I use for home and business, but I've decided a need a lighter, more portable notebook to take to/from the office, on business trips, etc.  I'm not familiar with flash storage, but I've been fairly happy with my current MBP response times.  It has 4GB of storage which is nearly at capacity with my entire iTunes library and a number of movies I have stored on it, but I don't need the MBP optical drive and all of those media files with me when on the road.  I would primarily use my MBA for Keynote or PPT presentations, playing short form video, MS Office and Web access.  I plan to keep my MBP as my main workhorse PC at home for as long as it holds out, and use the 13" Air as a portable notebook.
    So... do you think the standard 256 GB of flash storage likely sufficient for me, or should I spend the extra $500 for additional capacity?
    And is it reasonable to assume I'll be able to transfer working files easily between my Pro and my Air 2-3x/month via a Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter, or should I just move everything to the Cloud?
    Thanks!

    As long as you aren't planning on storing a large collection of large movies and you have reasonably sized media (iPhoto/iTunes) libraries, you should have no trouble working with 256GB of storage.
    As for transferring things, I would say that anything that is "mission critical" should still be retained (and backed up!!) locally. But for general documents, iCloud and other cloud services (Dropbox, etc.) work just fine (and have the added advantage of making things available to view/edit on mobile devices).
    Also, in regard to transferring files, you might want to consider AirDrop, which you can read more about here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11376
    Hope you enjoy your MacBook Air!

  • How much RAM do we really need

    I currently have a G5 with 4gb or RAM. I'm thinking of buying a new MAC pro - but given that it's memory is expensive - my question is how much ram do I really need for aperture to run well?
    Can I get away with just 2GB? Or should I just suffer(financially) and move to 4GB. My camera is 10.4 megapixels and I tend to convert the files to photoshop for editing purposes.

    You Americans have it easy! There's a nice Mac Pro on the Apple refurb store -
    3.0GHz, 2GB RAM and an X1900XT/512MB at a price to make us in the UK cry! (about $1700 less than we'd pay!)
    I guess I'll stick with my G5 for a while (very smooth with 3.5Gb RAM, my MBP is much better now with 2GB, 1GB got slow at times).

  • I need to publish a magazine in arabic and english - what should I buy - for how much to use 15 mac books for my students to use indesign?

    I need to publish a magazine in arabic and english - what should I buy - for how much to use 15 mac books for my students to use indesign?

    You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
    I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
    Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
    Good luck,

  • I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?

    I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?
    My computer is really old.
    It is running out of memory.
    I haven't done a firefox update since 24.0 because I think it will explode my computer.
    I see that v28.0 takes 200MB.
    How much more is this than what is already loaded for my v24.0?
    Will it just add the extra pieces, or will it require a free block of 200MB (which my computer does not have)?
    I don't want to crash and lockup my computer because I try to install something that is too big for the remaining memory.
    Thanks.

    You should updated to Firefox 28, Firefox updates don't take any new space they just replace the existing files.
    There are some things you can do to clean up your hard drive to free up space however, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=21178060 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324, also uninstall programs you don't use anymore and delete files you don't need anymore.
    You should also start saving up for a new machine, Windows XP is being dropped from support by Microsoft in a few days, which means it will no longer be safe to use on the internet.

  • How can i tell how much hard drive space my website is taking up on my computer?

    I have a website that i build through iweb and publish via mobile me.  i have about 200 podcasts on the site, and I am trying to figure out how much hard drive space this is taking up on my computer.  these files are not in itunes, and i'm not concerned about the space they are taking up in my cloud, i just want to know how much space on my computer they are taking up because i'm trying to decide if i should move my iweb site to a different computer to alleviate some space issues.  any help would be much appreciated.

    Check the size of the Domain.site2 file that is in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  it contains all of the files used to create and publish your site.  I'm not sure if it copies the podcasts into it or not. You can open the domain package and do a search for them. Just don't move, rename or delete any files inside that package or your site is toast.
