Well, good to know I'm not alone ;) If you guys ever make it out to cali, let me know...we'll go out for drinks.

Well, it's working great so far. I've managed to cap using MMC and filtered using VDub (FlaXen filter). The DVD authoring I will do on another PC, this box doesn't have a burner capable of DVD+R (older set-top compatible). Thanks for all the help!

I'm having a hard time finding the right drivers for my AIW VE PCI 64M on the site, which AIW family is it a member of? I don't think the driver disk that came with it supports XP....

Well, I wouldn't feel too bad about two arrays of two in RAID0. At least you're only doubling your chance of failure.

That's what I've heard as well. A RAID0 for working and a RAID1 for storage would probably be the best way. Depends if that controller supports the "striped read" of RAID1 arrays.

I like the intro as well, what capacity are you planning on hitting?

I just got back from my soon-to-be brother-in-law's house. He has Nintendo, SNES, N64, and Gamecube (with GB/GBA emulator) all wired in his living room right now. Listening to GB games on surround sound is...intersting. He's especially proud of his comprehensive collection of Zelda games. :)

Thanks guys, I already committed to dsoing the conversionds for a friend then realised I had no knowledge of how to go about it. :eekers: It seems I get myself in these holes quite often...it's the best way to learn. I really appreciate all the help.

Is MMC the app that comes with the AIW cards? Is vDub and VirtualDub the same thing? I'll be checking out those apps and I'll get back to you. I have Ulead MovieFactory, it came with something I've bought.... CityK, are the apps you referenced freely available?

Oh, well...here it is: ASUS A7N8X Dlx. / Barton @ 2.5Ghz / 1GB PC2700 / 2x Raptors (RAID0) / Sony DVR-510

no sig? hmm....

I have a similar question. I already have an ATI AIW VE (PCI) that I want to throw in it's own machine and to VHS capture via S-Video/Stereo and convert to DVD. What software should I be using to do: Capture? Encoding (MPEG-2)? Authoring? Burning? Is there one app that will do all of this...

136 - Precision Processor ....also a lower score than mensa..... :cry:

I have found the fountain of youth! :mrgrn:

Definatly congratulations are in order...I haven't been married in Thailand, but I did propose there ;) And spanish is the second language (some might argue the first) around here....

Where in Thailand?

Yes, they are currently wondering what to do about their floppys....

well, let's do it elsewhere! Your config has me intrigued, Merc.....

Very true. I worked @ CompUSA for a while. I was hired for my technical knowlede (the only one in the store) and promoted quickly 'cause of my "people skills" (read: manipulation skills).

Back on subject......and to make this a long one.... From when I was born until I was 16 I had one friend. Just one, so did he. We were lucky that we met each other, because no one else was like us (or liked us for that matter). When I was 16 got asked out to a dance by a girl whose name I'd...

Curious, did this work? Will it work with older DVD players?

Sorry, I know this thread is old.....but the phrase: Talk like a pirate ass day just came to mind....esp. when talking about Bush :)

Well, in an attempt to find what store is his, I did the usual google thing. And came up with this Kinda interesting, but not what I'm after.

Modding one to run x86 would make a very cool HTPC for college students ;)

Assuming same bus speed, of course.....

I got mine down to 1 minute 5 sec by turning my laptop off (didn't unpluc it, tho....:) Can different motherboards support a differnt number of interupts on their PCI bus?

Screw it. Get the deer out of there and get some live Counterstrike going :D

Just curious, which P3 bard are you talking about? And where is it available?

Just about anything would be faster, but cheaper? This thing has everything integrated for $123. Tack on the added reliability bonus of not requireing a CPU fan; this means any fan failures would not instantly kill the system.

Provided that PS can handle it, of course. And switching to PATA would save ~$300 and not affect much in this application.

Proposal for base level: VIA EPIA-ME6000 (600Mhz, Fanless): $123 1x 256MB PC2700: $76 3Ware Escalade 8506-8: $525 8x Samsung SATA 160GB: $1088 ANTEC SX1040BII with 400 Watt PS: $89 $1901 for 1.12TB of RAID5

Perhaps this would be a more effective use of our time if we set the requirements for the 3 levels and went from there: Base level: 1TB+ redundant storage, 100Mbps ethernet, $2000 (hardware only) Mid-Level: 2TB+ Redundant storage (expandable using current drives to 3TB+), GigE*, $4000...

Well, it depends (again) on what we're looking for. If this is just a file server, than putting some extra cash towards the storage components seems appropriate. Having a server in a headless configuration makes powering down/up the system more difficult. Howerver, I wouldn't mind having a...

:oops: I'll take a Belvadere and Tonic, thanks...

Nah, just recognising a good thing when I see it...:)

If someone has the number, a client has a killer long distance plan ;)

VRM is another feature that is nice and expensive. I thought we were looking at a SOHO server? IMO, some things are worth the added cost: -True hardware RAID -SATA with hotswap enclosures -Seperate controller for OS drives And some come at too high a price for an "entry level" file server...

I remembered it at random last night while intoxicated....go figure ;) Now it's part of my startup group, so expect to see me around :)

I don't know where you're getting that impression (besides the fact that my desktop has the same mobo/CPU). I selected the motherboard for it's onboard SATA Raid, GigE and support of less expensive "new" CPUs. Unfortunatly, this combo isn't available with onboard video or 64-bit PCI, but still...

I have nothing but good experiences with it, very easy to admin., and provides more features than the competition. Quite possibly more than this expirament requires. Another product I'm quite happy with. The most intuitive interface since Firewall-1. I like this combo as it keeps the CPU...

Actually storing the binary of the images (originally in .png format). Using something.NET to retrieve and render the image when needed (sorry, I'm not the programmer). Our idea was to have nothing but a pointer in the wwwroot directory, storing XML, Stored Procedures, style sheets, content and...

Doesn't everyone need an exchange and SQL server at home (in addition to IIS)? Use it as a firewall as well (with ISA) using your 2 NICs... Or not, just run Server 2k3 OEM ($630) Has anyone seen MS Storage Server 2003. (Never seent his before, seems to be OEM only??

I'm currently looking at storing images in a database, allowing total customization of descriptions and querys. My parter (the programmer) and I tested it with ~25GB of images and it seemed to work pretty well. We aren't looking at using it for this application, rather for the back end of a...

Building a base-level server with that mobo is going to be difficult. 32-bit PCI is a limitation, but if you can get by with it, you can save some cash. I'm looking at building another one of these for a friend: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (10/100 + GigE onboard, plus native sata channels for OS drives)...

Wow, this is where ya'll went....who created an account for me? If they show up here (Central Coast of CA) I'll let you know....

too bad the thread was destroyed....

Hi All! Although I'll be a far cry from a regular, just wanted to say "Hi!" I'm 21 last Aug 29th..... Born the year the 2nd Star Wars movie came out, Carter was the US President, And it was the 80s!
