    Best way to compress files

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    thats the bad thing with Video files....so big

    I have a stack of Digital tapes that I need to put on my computer, edit, burn to DVD and then re-archive...

    They are like 12GB/hour and I have about 20 tapes...

    I should be able to edit them from an hour down to about 10 minutes (2GB)

    Then I should be able to archive the edited version on DVD and keep the original in its tape format...

    thats the plan anyway

    I was just wondering because of the Open Source value of it.

    FF has all these cool extensions that you can add and I didnt know if Thundervird had any useful extensions also.

    [just]  Are you using outlook or express??  What version of Outlook??  I am using Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5703)

    I had one problem with my rules when I moved my PST folder, but after I reapplied all the rules they were fine....

    Hey Van Buren,

    I had tried your Version 4 settings for my  Cable connection based on 3500/384.

    I believe it gave a pretty big window..(of course that was assuming people were running SP2)

    On your recomendation, I am using TCP Optmizer until I decide if I wanted to install SP2. (Optimizer uses a setting of 256960)

    I saw you released Version 5, so I went in and looked at it.

    I see you put in an SP1 version and I noticed the "3000" setting in MSS1460/SP1 dropped the Window size considerably...

    Just wondering the method to your madness...lol

    thx

    they just offered another package in a different ISP..

    It is 6000/768 for $53/month..

    Thing is I would have to transfer both my cable TV/Phone and Internet Service...

    I need to look into it though...

    Did you just run your test a little while ago?? I am having trouble with the d/l test, but not an FTP to my ISP..??

    What about the Open source wildcard that FF has??

    I use about 6 of those nice little cool extensions in my daily routines and I dont know what I would do w/o them...

    Sometimes I like sticking up for the little guy just because he harasses Gates and keeps him in check..

    In this case, I just like the better product....

    ps..I dont get those PDF crashes like you mentioned Swimmer...
