Holy Crapnetto Batman! Today I have seen the biggest advantage to date of SportsHD’s new XSAN system: DVD Studio Pro hauls ass!

Muxing and Formating on the old XRAID (RAID 0) setup via the Dual 2.7 to Fiber Channel used to take 45 minutes (apiece) for a simpled menued-23 minute mpeg2 DVD.

Now the whole process takes 7 minutes and 14 seconds.

Thus far, I have been unimpressed with any perceived (ie: end user) differences the XSAN system has made with FCP5, but this new experience with DVD Studio Pro has gotten me excited again about the whole deal.
