When we came back from our last trip we had just under 1TB of HD video, he converts it to RAW before he edits it, it took something like 8 days for it to convert. We're looking at also building a really stupid spec machine for video as we've now got about 8 Go Pro 2's in our group that go skiing.

I'll have a look at Adobe Premier, hadn't considered it.



RAW video is new to me...
The old version of FCP is fantastic as was Logic Pro for audio before Apple dumbed it down and Adobe caught up.

A decent spec Hack shouldn't cost to much to build, then you'll see how much Apple sticks on top for the fancy design.

apologies, the correct terms are "converted to uncompressed .mov format and conformed to the correct frame rate and ready for editing" (lifted direct from the email he sent me a few days ago)

Has anyone on here got any opinions on a Chromebook? A non-tech-savy relative wants a laptop and has asked for recommendations, asking for the price to be as low as possible, so the Mrs asked if the Chromebooks are any good. They seem a nice concept.

Great if you have a permanent internet connection, useless if you don't.
A Netbook for under £200 would be the way to go.

Ditto this, great if all you want to do is surf the net and play on apps, waste of money if you want to do even the most basic of document editing off line [cos you can't]






Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.

Anyone recommend a free site whereby I can store a few files? Less than 1GB of storage needed.

It'll provide me with a backup of these files but mainly I want to be able to access them from any PC that's connected to the internet.






Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Or you could just Google it...

I was rather hoping for personal opinion on which sites were considered the best in terms of usability.

They look good if that floats your boat and the Apple after care is second to none.

The OS is one of the best around, I've got it running rock solid on two Wintel machines.

I'm still not sure they are worth £1500 though.

Wow, you'd discovered they do more than the base model...

Anyone who pays £2k+ for a laptop wants their bumps read.
