Hi,
AMC is really nice and I have used it quite a while now without much trouble.
Now I added a ethernet based external storage into our home network so I can edit my movies using my WLAN connected laptop rather then my tower.
Anyways,
AMC loads the movie database (.amc file) from the external storage without any problem. But saving the file just takes for ever. Aparently AMC is writing a lot of small chunks of the file instead of doing the complete thing in one go (or it's doing something similar that kills the throughput).
Currently I have a batch file that copys the database to a local directory before starting amc and then copys it back when AMC is closed. This works as a workaround but is kind of ugly.
So could you add a simple option to the next version of AMC that just writes the amc file completely in one go or point me to another solution?
Thx
Alex
amc file write speed on network storage
It is read in the same way it is written, I wonder why that causes trouble, as Windows should handle caching and all.
Anyway, maybe a better solution would be to store pictures as external files instead of storing them in the catalog, if it is big.
So it would not have to read/write pictures each time you open/save the catalog, but just the movie info which do not take much space compared to pictures.
