I know the reel sizes and Feature length can effect the capacity, but just a round about idea? 10, 20, 30, etc. No trailer discs loaded.

But an easy rule of thumb is that CD-ROM's were usually 650 or 700 MB's for maximum size, or simply go with 700 MB as the maximum number and divide that in to the HD size on the DTS unit to give you a good number to go by on disc space.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-14-2012 03:47 PM                     Obviously, there's no "one" answer to this question. I just checked the contents log of one of my XD-10's and it presently contains 26 features which range in length from 5 to 9 reels, and about 270 trailers. (I lost count while scrolling through them)  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2012 04:21 PM                     Last year I worked on an XD10 that had well over 50 titles and hundreds of trailers in its memory.  |  IP: Logged Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 01-14-2012 05:25 PM                     The first XD-10's had 40GB HD's for storage.....mine has a 120GB HD, and I'm upgrading to a 160GB HD. I've Been told that 160 Gb HD were the latest capacity during manufacture. Just had no idea how many features a 160 MB Drive could hold. Thanks for your info.  |  IP: Logged
