Topic: Marantz PMD 671 announced (on Oade)

[caymanreview]

i would have ordered my 671 yesterday, but i did some critical thinking and decided 722 might be the way to go. i just cant see myself buying a ton of flash cards. and for what i do mostly,  i would have to

isnt the 2gb limit something associated with ntfs or fat32 file systems? since this is flash will that not matter? but will your pc have a hard time with 4gb files if this will handle em?

I believe it is a wav file limitation.  I also know from the experience Tim and I had on the 722 that wavelab has a hard time handling files over 2 Gb

Correct.

right on. i was pretty excited about getting the 671, but im 10x more excited about the 722 now

yeah just one CF card slot. 4gb cards arent too bad in price, and you can def snag some decent brand 4gb CF cards on ebay for decent prices too

what would happen with a 4gb audio file? is this thing not applicable to anything related to the 2gb issues we have with laptops and such???

you could also set the auto-split for a certain time limit.  24/48 is about 1 gig per hour, so you can set the auto split for 1 hour or for 2 hours, and have a new file start.  that way, you won't have to worry about going over 2 gigs, and merge the files later.

for sure, i was just wondering "what if"

[spcyrfc]

does anyone know how to use the FAT32?
i cannot find it in the manual.

thanks

What do you mean?  FAT32 is a file system format...

[spcyrfc]

ohh, my bad.

i always thought it was a file program that allowed the creation of sub files on a compact flash card.
-t for me and my stupidity.

is there a way to make file groups on the PMD67- units?
thanks

[John Kelly]

No -T necessary.   That may be something you'd want to email Marantz about.

all this talk about storage in this thread, maybe this would work?

Don't know if you're joking or not, but it wont work.  Besides, the whole point is to get away from hard discs.

Well at first I thought you were serious.  Then I saw the and I thought, "great, he's probably joking and I'm gonna look like an idiot."

dont have to get away from hard discs if they dont have any problems....my opinion, they will be equal to, if not more reliable than anything else we have dealt with in the field to this point (tapes, etc)
