I mentioned previously that I have been converting my family's old VHS tapes to DVD. As part of the capture process, I have been capturing directly to a Samba share. The network and Samba have been able to handle the streaming mpeg2. These files are big, too. One of my captures is over 8gb. The very first thing I do is open up the mpeg2 files with Avidemux and cut up the 8gb file into multiple smaller files, that total back up to the 8gb. These files become the DVD titles inside of a single DVD. My brother wanted access to the original files, just in case he wanted recut the DVD. How do I share the 72gb of mpeg2?
This is exactly why I started using Retroshare. The Samba share I was capturing to is also exported via Retroshare. As soon as I'm done capturing a single video, he is able to download the video from me. I tend to keep the big original capture, the cut up smaller mpeg2 files, and XVID encoded versions. My dad will download the XVID encoded versions over Retroshare.
