The USB way is particularly slow. If you are not running shows off it, it might actually take about oh 8-12 hours (i tried it for fun once with a 50GB movie, took 4 hours). eSata way might be faster, ftp also. If you are running shows at the same time, good luck. Do keep in mind you need a properly formated EXT disk, with read/write enabled in the doremi itself, otherwise it might be just a waste of time.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-26-2013 03:26 AM                     Yes, it will probably work, but is painfully slow to USB. I heard of people that a single feature took days to export. It is somewhat faster if you manage to mount a CRU drive R/W. This is NOT recommended, but you could try to find a distribution drive with enough space on it, put it into the Doremi and copy to it. Did anyone check wether network exports are substantially faster on the Doremi? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 04-29-2013 12:55 PM                        well, yes it took 24 hours to extract the croods.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 04-29-2013 02:33 PM                     or if you know linux and you know what you're doing, you should be able to export it from the terminal  |  IP: Logged Anders Nordentoft-Madsen Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Valby, Denmark Registered: Aug 2005 posted 04-29-2013 04:57 PM                        Find the UUID of the DCP by adding it to a playlist and look at the item properties. Connect to the doremi with ftp and use "manager" as login (password depends on your installation), navigate to the "assets" dir, find the dir with the same name as the UUID and copy the hole folder, with subfolder and files. And there you go. -Anders  |  IP: Logged Aleksandar Obradovic Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Belgrade, Serbia Registered: Oct 2012 posted 05-02-2013 02:57 PM                     I think that you server has some problems. For me export goes way faster then for you except when i try to export during playback because Doremi's priority is playback which will take about 80% of all power you have. Any way it is faster to do this over LAN (1Gbit/s=128MB/s= cca 1GB/minut) Use FileZilla Client at PC/Laptop and connect to content interface of Doremi (if you are using dcinex convention it should be 172.30.screen-number.11) and use account manager or ingest (ask you technician for password). After this follow Andres's instruciotn where to find DCP. Other way is to setup ssh/sftp server at you local laptop/pc and then push folder via ssh to you server (i'm using this option for Doremi daily backups). NOTE: Whatever option you choose do this WHEN YOUR SERVER IS IDLE (there is no running playback) BR  |  IP: Logged
