[QUOTE=Trekintosh;44322506]No, you posted it and made a cunty remark, then the rest of us discussed how it was an excellent machine and reasonably priced considering the great hardware and incredible screen. But obviously we all were wrong because you've unilaterally decided that any laptop that's expensive is a rich kids' toy, so I don't know why we bothered.

I'd like to learn source film maker but I don't think I would make anything that I could show in full view of the general public. :v:
You guys need to consider generational loss-digitally. Shadowplay is already heavily compressed. Uploading to YT makes it way worse due to that second encode.
Keep your total encodes to 2. And feed YT a high quality copy. As in, nearly unnoticable artifact...high.
record in 480p, upscale to 1080p using nearest neighbor interpolation, compress to shit and upload it to youtube
worst looking video ever

God, I want a slotloading USB drive so much.
I don't have a working CD drive or even spare SATA ports, so I can't install old games.[/QUOTE]
Hello, this is your daily reminder that it's 2014 and only elderly people use physical media, thus you have no need for that device. Or are you elderly?

No, you gotta save every frame with 99% jpeg compression, then use photoshop to add them back in.

Guess those shelves full of movies, Xbox games, and Playstation games in stores are just memorials to the past
Physical copies of recovery or backups is a major life saver for me. So I won't have to worry if something bad happens, it's all on disc, OS and media files.
Lets see you try and back your shit up without internet then, Nikhomo!
There's only two options here.
Either I'm wrong, or this place is full of elderly people.
I have to give a hand to the IT companies of the world for making the Internet such a user-friendly experience for elderly people, otherwise you all probably wouldn't be here.

I see the upsides of going digital, but I also like being able to fall back on Physical media.

I have lots of old games that are on CD and are not on GOG. Also I occasionally have people ask me to put their finished video on a DVD for mailing. But I've been putting stuff on dropbox to deliver projects.
[QUOTE=Chains!;44324125]I'm 19 and I prefer having physical media.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I still like physical media for video. Uncompressed video really can't be beaten and it also allows me to play my old Doctor Who episodes through an SDTV and avoid upscaling and deinterlacing. Also functions as a ready made form of backup, so if you decide to rip it (Which I try not to do to save HDD space, itself another advantage of physical media)the backup is there.
You can play uncompressed video from physical discs?

can anyone locate a slot loading slimline IDE drive for less than a hundred bucks? I'd much rather put a slot loader in my current project machine instead of a tray, but it's hard to find an IDE one.

As in a laptop one? I have one sitting about at home I could send but I have no idea how UK->US postage works.

Yeah, standard laptop DVD drive, but it has to be IDE(it has that funny little square connector, not mSATA). I could pay the postage.
ide is far from little

Yes I certainly have one somewhere at home, but I am not at home until the 30th.
So I will have a look for it then.

On slimline optical drives it is.

Eh don't worry about it in that case. I found one for 20 bucks on eBay. Probably will be cheaper than UK-US shipping.
ooh, that is kinda small. is it the same connector as CF?
Damn, not been using my dvd reader/burner for 5 years now, I forgot I even had one :v:

I have quite literally all the old games I've ever played, in digital form, so I never need physical media.
The last time I've used a DVD or a CD was in, uh, let's see.
I put the driver CD for my primary screen in, like 3 months ago, just to see how old the files on the CD are, but legitimate use, we're talking somewhere around when Orange Box came out, I think.
All the media I consume is in digital form too, though if I worked on video production, I would probably end up grabbing a Blu-Ray burner capable of dual-layer, videos are big and if Google gave up on transferring large quantities of data over the Internet and chose the sneakernet instead, that sounds like a good idea.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
the only time i ever use optical media is for installing fuckhuge games but even now i could download bf3 in like a couple of hours easy so that's a null point these days
wtf
I just started up Homefront(I know it's terrible but I like the multiplayer) looked in the options and it c2d without an error message. Now when I try and re open it I get this:
