file size and disk limits

Does Vegas let you record to more than one disk
simultaneously?

Does it let you play back from more than one
disk simultaneously?

What is the longest continuous recording
time under NTFS at 96khZ 16 channels, 24 bit?

For example, I can stripe 4 27GB drives together
under NTFS and create a single 108GB file.
Can Vegas, then, record 6.5HRS uninterrupted
at 96khz 16 channels, 24 bit, or is there
going to be some built-in limitation
in Vegas that prevents this?

What exactly is the limitation, if there
is one?

Thanks.
Jay Norwood

Hi Jay,

Vegas doesn't let you record to multiple hard drives simultaneously
unless you have a raid system or striped like you do.

It will playback from wherever the files are located, so yes, if they
are on different drives, it will play from all of the drives.

Current Wave files have a 2 Gigabyte size limit regardless of sample
rate or bit-depth. This is our limit for recording as well. Standards
are emerging that will allow for greater file sizes. We will support
them in the future.

Regards,
Caleb
