DV editing Information

Posted by camthecameraman in Hard Drive, Files

Video Camera5 minutes of DV quality footage equates to 1 gigabyte of space. Once your media drive is more than 80% full the performance of the drive begins to suffer. Ensure all unnecessary files are removed and that the drive is “defragmented” regularly. 

I have found this to be true over the years, funny unexplainable problems can be fixed by clearing out the hard drive.  I have heard one or two techs at editing companies and the like suggest that once a drive gets over 50% full its performance starts dropping off!!  Seems particularly  problematic on laptops.
