is it just me or does everyone get a lag/delay when they trigger a clip? is this just a simple case of my mbp not having a fast enough hard drive?

i use mjpeg or mov codec so not thinking this is the cause.

it's quite annoying when you want to trigger a clip to land on a beat...

is this solved by getting a fast external hdd that you connect via firewire?

cheers guys,

is your clip long? Its almost certain that a long clip in a slow HD will have a delay. Even worst if is mov, I think.

If is not long, check your hd speed(RPM). A 4200 or a 5400 is not a perfect choice. Ideally, you should stick with a 7200+

Are you using avi files with your mjpeg codec? I know it sounds silly but I didn't have a good experience with those. Try to use picvideo MJPEG. I think is the best out there.

And yes, and external hardwire can resolve this. Just use an usb 2.0 or firewire and you are ready to go

cheers man. have opted for a lacie quadra 500 gb. gives me the best of both worlds as its firewire 800 and if thats still not fast enough then i can always go sata if needs be...

Nice!
