Regular Computer Maintenance in HDV Editing
Looking for feedback. My system is a quad-core PC, with 4GB RAM, two drives (300 GB/each) 0-Raided, one drive to run programs. I use Premiere Pro (After Effects and CS2) with AspectHD. Obviosly even HDV takes up space, so the question becomes -- what is conventional maintenance to keep an NLE system in optimum performance?
Right now, after deleting files, I run the defrag. That's about it. Not experiencing any problems, but asking this question anyway-- perhaps others are more familiar with details of system optimization. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks! |

One strategy I have seen mentioned is to use video and render drives only as scratch drives. After each project, format them. |

1. Defrag NTFS is good! Because it can be interrupted without loss of data.
2. If you have files with errors(hardware ones) - you want to know, Defrag will report them and then you can backup whats possible 3. Greg: What OS/motherboard do you use to benefit from 4gb memory? My AMD box gives me 3gb of 4gb total... using Vista 32bit //Lazze
