#Video drives need space

Mark,
I have used reorg repeatedly in both 4.02 and 4.03 with nary a problem. 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.

Tom,
I say ol chap, how was your trip over ome? (You did actually take off, EH?)
Before you allegedly left, you said:

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.

Mark,
Yes, I did take off –no allegedly about it. Anyone who thinks traveling to
London once a month on business is glamorous should simply do it a few months
to learn differently. It is a long boring trip with a week full of meetings
and late evening dinners. The glmor has long since worn off.
I would agree that if you have filled your drives beyond 80% of their capacity,
then that is indeed a rationale explanation for the problem inplaying projects
longer than 7-8 minutes. BEfore leaving on Saturday, I played back a project
that is now aproximately 23 minutes in length, all clips recorded at HQ5 mode,
and it played back without any difficulties.

P.S. Also finally received the 4.03 CD and manual today when I arrived home
from the airport.
