Re: [videoblogging] a back-up script...

[Paul Knight]

Hi Nathan, Just to let you know I have tried to archive my DV files into zip's it only makes them 3/4 of the size of DV files and takes forever on my e-mac, so as far as doing it in your sleep, you might as well join Buck Rogers in the 25th century before it's done.  Just kidding! At 500gb you really have a huge problem.  I don't envy you but I wish I could help.  Mind you I read in New Scientist that in Japan they are toying with the idea of making a 1 terrabite disc for use in the blue ray recoders, that was a couple of years back now, how has that progressed?

I log and capture all my footage from a Panasonic GVS-100...the raw DV really takes up a lot of space... After I make all my edits, I don't want to delete the raw dv footage...would like to compress it to something much smaller...however I want my Mac to do this while I sleep! I hope somebody out there has an idea of what I am talking about... Any help would be needed... btw were talking about 2 or 3 hours of raw DV footage...were talking over 500 GB of footage!!
