There I was this morning, setting up a new backup. I was arranging to back up all my TV-related stuff to my old SP tape. It starts up, everything's going fine.
About 10 minutes later, I remember: I forgot to restore all the SP stuff before reusing the tape!!! ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I now have two *2* eps. I had damn near *all*, including all the stuff from before the series started and the little things like appearences of SP in awards ceremonies and such. Now, 2 eps. <SIGH>
Aww man I'm sorry! I had a pretty good scare when some of my tapes ended up on top of magnetic-cased motors in my closet and I thought I'd erased some stuff, so far the stuff looks like it's okay, luckily it wasn't my episode tapes.

When eps run in the range of 330MB+ each, a CD-R is kinda skimpy. Tapes the The Way.
Now I'm downloading everything as AVI files. But I'm running into trouble with Diesel's filenames. grrrr.... freaking MacPAR Deluxe issue...

I usually go for divx, or whatever I can get. Tapes, blah, I'll buy the DVD's.

Yes, that's what I'm doing now.
DVDs only hold 4.3GB. Tiny, TINY things. Tapes hold 35GB before compression, and that's 4 or 5 year old technology.
My BF and I decided we'll get a vid cap card after I move and transfer my tapes over. I've got some unedited Family Guy episodes as well as a few interesting South Park things I want to save someplace. We joke about making a TV machine, where we load all my VHS into a harddrive on a separate computer we can then hook to the TV and have whatever show we want when we want it =P KyleIke13~ "Next week on Fox watch lions eat Christians."
