I recently captured over 48 hours of lecture material at a week-long conference using DVRack and a number of Acom Data 250 Gig Drives. These drives work perfectly with the DVRack because they offer both USB and Firewire connections.

Everything went well capturing the material. I did run back-up tapes in each of the cameras.

I did have one problem. The maximum recording time per DVRack clip is a little over 18 minutes. DO NOT let your clips exceed 18 minutes or they will be corrupted and unuseable. I knew this prior to recording the event, but still managed to mess up and failed to start a new clip in time. No problem - thanks to back-up tapes. All the other clips-save the one-were fine.

I did notice a minor lag in the video monitor. At times, the image on the monitor would freeze, along with the audio monitor, waveform and everything else. When this happened, I would make a new clip and everything would be fine.

Hope this helps,
Paul
