Drive Maintenance

To prevent problems, you should keep at least 10% of the disk space on each

drive free at all times. Keep in mind that during video media archiving, drive D:

(Video Storage drive) is used to store files for any alpha material in the project.

When you run Avid|DS, it creates two interactive cache files on the Video

Storage drive. These two files (DS_interactive_cache.tmp and

DS_interactive_cache.tmp.lowres) can use up as much as 500 megabytes

of your video storage area, and are mandatory for Avid|DS.

If there isn’t enough available space for these files to be created, the system

performance will drop dramatically. You may even experience a system

failure. You should regularly purge unnecessary media files from the system

to allow Avid|DS to work properly. For more information, refer to Purging

Media on page 56 of the Avid|DS User’s Guide.

Defragmenting your

Drives

Performing a defragmentation on the disk drives helps to maintain your

system’s performance. The following is a suggested defragmentation schedule:

On Windows 2000 workstations, you can use the Windows 2000 Disk

Defragmenter utility to defragment your disk drives.

Drive Frequency

C:\ (System disk) Once a month, if required

D:\ (VideoStorage) Once a week if workload is minimal; every day if workload

is intensive

F:\ (Projects/Audio) Once a month if workload is minimal; once a week if

workload is intensive

Do not defragment your drives while Avid|DS is capturing,

outputting, or processing media.
