Tom,
I say ol chap, how was your trip over ome? (You did actually take off, EH?)
Before you allegedly left, you said:
>> I would also suggest that the fragmentation of your Flyer drive is probably
the reason you are seeing the problems playing projects longer than 7-8 minutes
that you reported in an earlier message (#110532). At least that was my
experience with a 15 minute project which I had trouble playing before using
reorg and which played fine after using reorg.<<
Actually I don't think reorg is the issue. I effectively did a reorg by
copying all the clips from each drive to a third 9 gig loaner, reformatted
under 4.03 and recopied all the clips back to the original drives. The more
likely problem is that the drives are too full. I plan to delete any unused
clips and destructively trim the long ones, then reorg to free up some space.
Regards
Mark
