Got a Promise Ultra ATA100 Tx2 controller for my Abit BF6 motherboard to help speed up encoding times with mpeg2 files, installed it and
when encoding it still takes the same amount of time....
Here are the system specs:
Abit BF6 - PIII-750 - 768meg ram
Maxtor 30gig 7200rpm ATA100 drive - IBM GXP 60gig 7200 rpm ATA100 drive.
Pioneer A03 dvd-r
Acer 50x cdrom
Pinnacle Systems DV500 Plus video card (input/output)
Creative labs Geforce256 agp card
Windows 2000 - SP2
When i select the drives in the Device manager they show up fine, but i cannot select "write cache" it is greyed out..
so it is not enabled..dont know why..any ideas..and does it matter?
If i copy a huge file from the d: drive to the c: drive (1.2gig) it only takes about 30 seconds.
On my PIII866 Asus CUSL2 machine it takes a few minutes to do the same file,
so it would appear that the controller is working with both cards on it.
I export the videos by opening premiere-6 and selecting export movie...then i choose my destination (d: drive since it is 60gig) and it comes up taking upwards of five hours...just like before....i would expect with the throughput from the controller card i should see about a 30% (more or less) increase in speed thus shorter encodes....
Anyone got any ideas?
Perhaps an uninstall of Premiere and a reinstall?
HELP! and Thx!
