I have si2k footage on my "y:\" drive (4 drives raided together). I am running HD link off my "c:/" drive. If I try to transcode a file that is on the Y:\ drive, I get a sharing violation, and it does not allow me to render the file. If the File is on my C:\ drive, it works.

Any fix for this? I have some LARGE files I need to get converted, and will take some time to move them all over.

Thanks!

I expect there is something you have set up wrong. I have had so many configurations of drives and RAIDs, never once had a sharing violation converting with HDLink.

something setup wrong like what?

do you have seven?
seven is a master of confusion about right of read write on file, disk and more...
verify that your user are allowed to write on disk Y, try to write in a new folder created from your user.
eventually there is a free utility called takeownership to be the owner of your files...

i would like to live in a world where XP64 come back to the power, less problem more speed... :-(

i have windows 7.

i can read and write to the drives with everyother software, except with hdlink... maybe some permissions setting in HDlink is not working with windows 7 64bit.

I'm running Win 7 and with no issues. Nor have I heard on this from other customers, so it has to be local configuration issue, I just don't know what.
