Just a few days after acquiring my new Blu-ray burner, i’m already transcoding my first HD movie. After an hour to rip, i must wait nearly 3 hours to transcode. i don’t know why i expected it to be more difficult then it was. Perhaps i should wait to see the output before making such a boast. Before you cry DMCA, remember that fair use allows me to make any additional copies of media that are required to play it. How else am i supposed to play Prestige on my iPad in HD? don’t answer that. We’ll let the lawyers fight it out.

waiting is the hardest part.
Without any 4k screens, i am forced to output a cut @ 2560×1440 for my 30″. went tripple nutty with this one. i’ll check back in the morning but with R3d, it might not be this week! red should thread. it rhymes, i thought that made it true.
the desk of somebody?
i received this voicemail on my service. i just had to save it. it reminds me of that old tmbg track “Who’s they may be giants?” download message.mp3
ode to the backup!
As if I haven’t already learned my lesson, i continue to tempt fate. just yesterday i skated by on my data recovery skills and pure luck when i nearly lost 200GB of personally encoded tested and tagged dvds! i can only imagine how many hours of man and machine work to went into that collection. i’ll only have to redo a handful of movies. lets hope they haven’t wondered off, that they are in their cases, and all the horrible things that drove me to encode them all in the first place. if you care about it, back it up. storage is so cheap now. there is no reason not to just back everything up!
Infinate USB memory!
In the coolest workaround yet, Infinitec out of Dubai made this nifty little gadget that lets your server, NAS, or any PC with media be accessible as if it were on a USB thumb drive. It even fakes out file systems that have a 1 or 2GB barrier. It relies on wifi so you do have to be in range. . . we can dream.
