Truer words were never spoken! It's rather annoying when the fail the day after you get the system up and running
RAID array will lessen the chance for data loss but mechanical failure is eminent.
This forum is for power users. I am so confused here and so intimidated. Every post here is full of information and creates a new question in my mind, but I am not sure if it is applicable to my situation. What I want to do is put my movies in MP4 format onto a hard drive and output it to a TV.
What do I need to buy and install. OMG, ???RATIOS??? ???DRM??? ???WHAT BURNER??? (at least I know about using the right medium and make sure to defrag) ???Which software??? I don't even know where to begin in asking a question to accomplish this task.
First bit of confusion: The impression that I get is that AnyDVD will decode a movie for me so that I can convert it to the MP4 format or essentially capture the movie to a temporary file on my hard drive. Would I opt for the mobile version or do I need to change the captured movie with some other program. ...
I am here with the hopes and dreams of finding a solution and it's like hitting the afterdark forum with it's "don't bother posting if your are a newbie to this forum because we are way above you and there are tons of posts outlining the procedure." Well, I'm so new I can't navigate through this information in order to get out of the newbie status. In other words I'm a bit overwhelmed.
I could really use a roadmap to this site with maybe an overview of the general procedures/programs required in order to accomplish this task along with terms so I can effectively search and post to the forum (and links) for information pertaining to this type of task.

Another reason for this plan is that we might be able to find them!!! Do you know what 3,000 titles looks like? I have two 7 foot X 7 foot bookcases triple stacked with titles. If I could get it organized, my family could watch movies till my grand children die and never repeat a movie. My husband is insane and out of control. And you know what is worse, he keeps buying more movies!!! OK, I've vented, I'm OK now.
