movie backup: What would be the necessary to buy?

The roku uses programs like Netflix and Hulu to stream TV shows and movies; therefore, there is no need for you to store them locally. If you were to purchase 500 - 1000 movies and episodes from amazon or iTunes and download them, you would need more than a 1 TB drive.

It depends on what you plan to store in the notebook. I don't have a lot of movies, and use GMail as an email account. For instance if you use outlook with a GMail account it could use 10Gb of space. Besides this, I won't buy a regular hard drive in the future. SSD disks are superfast. My PC starts up in less that 4 seconds, and consumes less battery. My recommendation will be to buy a ssd disk and an external hd for storing photos, movies, and anything that you don't need on a daily basis. Hope this help on making your decision.

I have seen companies who you can purchase the download through and purchase a back up disc also. But if I were you I would download the program to a disc and then install it to your computer. Then you have the back up right away and don't have to purchase it too.

As long as you have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC, then yes, although depending on how much data you have , you might need few of them and software to do the backups

Like most external USB drives, I'd not rely on it for long-term backups over one year. Augment it with a cloud product that is acceptable for the type of data being backed up (i.e. personal, confidential, commercial, etc.). In my experience, none of the disks used in these devices are high-grade, and in commercial applications, we'll go to a NAS with RAID.

yes, you can use it for backing up your files. check on the c-disk how much storage you are using so you know how much storage you need for all your backups. I have all my software on separate discs, so all I need backed up is my 'paperwork'. Sometimes you can just add another plug-in to download your remaining files and sometimes not. Depends on your computer... If you have movies/music/pics on your hard disc, I would copy them separately; then you should have enough space on your drive. Generally, (without movies/music/pics) a 16 GB should be big enough. Check your usage. I would download all the music, movies, pics etc. onto that Cruzer and than if needed the rest on a smaller disc/usb drive. yes, you can use it for backing up your files. check on the c-disk how much storage you are using so you know how much storage you need for all your backups.

Each movie. about 2 hours, takes an average of 6 gig in HD. So depending upon how many episodes or movies you want to have available, will determine the storage capacity required. I personally recommend the largest possible to accommodate future requirements.

Unless you need super fast access or archival protection for your collection I would use a mechanical HDD. The extra expense and smaller capacity of the SDD would be a limiting factor.

You can get an external dvd drive that you can hook up -- they are pretty cheap these days. Ofcourse, you could use another machine that has a drive and put it on drop box.

You also have to really think if you want to deal with HD files. They will be much much larger to save and backup. If you really want to watch the HD movies on the computer or on a HD TV set then go with the HD version. If you don't really need the HD resolution or will just be uploading movies online you may not need the extra resolution from the HD version. Just some things to keep in mind.

You may store movies on an mSATA drive. However, HD movie (720p / 1080p) format take a considerable amount of space and mSATA storage is more expensive than hard disk drives. For this purpose, the Intel NUC is ideal for use with large external USB drives or NAS.

Confusing right? They sell just the hardware and shell. You have to buy the drives. I went with WD Red series. I would recommend you buy two drives ; one to make a mirror backup of the main drive. If yuh have a lot of home videos, buy two 3 TB drives or higher. My analysis suggests that this is the best price point. It is, overall, a $500 investment. But, it's worth it for pictures, phones and computer backup.

You would either have to do it on another computer and transfer to a memory card; or I believe there is a way to do it via home network. Obviously, this will be difficult/impossible if you dont have a computer with a DVD drive. Ofcourse you can buy an external DVD and save movies to the HD, but those drives arent very cheap. If I remember correctly, it is a multi-step process and you will need to download a couple free programs.

I think you are in the wrong forum to ask this question. But yes you can make a backup copy of a non-copyright BD or regular disk if you have a burner and the software. LG burnners are one of many that are considered good.

usually 1 movie up to 300 mins depending on the quality setting you use,and software.Your software will usually tell you if what you are recording will fit by how many gbs it is or if HD settings make the file larger it may require 2 discs.

For me tape was the deal maker. When making a finished video product you will need allot of footage to compose a movie. In many cases you may go into your archive of stored tapes to get video from a previous shoot. With the HUGE amount of hard-disk space it takes to store this type of video in many of the HD formats it is really impossible to store all of your video on a disk. The only other feasible option for storage would be DVD, or blu ray, but with these you have to compress before you store it again due to the high amount of data. Once you compress and erase what is on your cameras memory you can never get the original back to change compression. With tape you can store all your footage in the original format without loss to edit, use or enjoy days, months or years later. Thnks beyond the initial inconvienance of trasnsfer and look at the pratical reality of why canon still uses tape. If your really serious you can get a portable disk drive type product to store directly to disk or solid state this way you can easily transfer your video and still have a archive of your video for future use.
