  2. It seems that you may have an issue that your Vegas is using CPU for (en/de)coding of video. That task should be performed on GPU.

    Normally on laptops there should be setting that which apps are using CPU (integrated) for calculating things and which are using GPU (video card processor).

    You could also try to disable integrated graphics processor from device manager and then try how it goes.

    VeRY cool! Thanks for sharing the script and setup protocol.
    I can't see this working for a large DZ (it's not common to find fat pipes where big DZ's operate), but for smaller DZ's, it's a great solution!



    Thanks!

    I think we here in Finland are lucky to have unlimited/uncapped/fast LTE/4G networks with fixed fee (~20€/mo).

    does anybody have any idea why Sandisk cards are not suggested for use in the black edition?



    From what I heard is that Sandisk quality is poor.
    They advertise their cards as "Class 10" speed, but there are few sectors on cards that do not perform that well (and that has caused GP3Black lockouts).

    It was done really live today, with sergey and jt chatting via video before they exited the blimp. Not broadcast quality but pretty damn good.



    Did someone see video stream and skydivers at the same time and can confirm that it was live?

    Your external HD has to be formated to file system FAT32 in order to be compantible with both PC and Mac.
    I went through this issue earlier this year. Mac won't recognize NTFS fromatted HDs.



    NTFS-3G will enable NTFS reading and writing on Mac OSX. I have used it with no problems for a while.

    FAT32 is not reliable file system. I do not recommend using it.

  23. Hi,

    I have used for a long time Drobo products (not on video archiving specially, but just general file storage).

    Few pros about the product:
    - Possibility to use normal hard disks (user changeable)
    - Possibility to use different sized disks
    - Hotswapping of drives
    - Fast as h***

    For example, I could have Drobo FS with 4x1TB HDs and 1x2TB HD, and when it gets full, I simply change two of 1TB HDs to two 3TB HDs.

    If one of the disks fail, I just take that one off and put new (same size or larger) in and here we go again!

    You could also easily make rsync synchronization between two Drobos (offsite -backup) (http://www.drobo.com/droboapps/apps-for-drobofs.php, Rsync).
