Equallogic iSCSI arrays. The older models (read, before Dell took over) are selling at close to 1/2 the price they were 6-8 months ago, if you can find a vendor that has them. And no trickery involved, ESX can see the volumes as raw storage. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [m

A bit of Googling reveals a number of people having issues with files over 4GB on NTFS partitions using video capture software. Seems to be the software at fault rather than anything else. Only Roxio appear to have issued a fix for it though, and you have to open a support ticket for it. -Orig
