Actual uncompressed Blu-Ray videos for my Kaleidescape. What are those, 40-some GB?

Takes quite a while at 6 meg D/L set only between 2 and 8 am.

I don't know about single file, but I have half a terabyte on my Amazon cloud account, which I filled over a couple months of occasional batches of uploads. The "download now" button has always been tempting.

25-50GB depending on what it is and if it's a Remux with just the Video/Audio, or a full disk M2TS which would include menus, commentaries, other audio tracks, etc.

The biggest file I ever downloaded (So far) was a Windows Media Player video about 9/11 if I remember right..... It was over 900 Megs and I was wondering if my ISP would be mad I was using that much of thier bandwidth!! (But I dont use that much HARDILY EVER so I figured they wouldnt mind)

I was just going with what the Kaleidescape (an expensive ass movie catalog system...I have I think six 3tb HDs in it. Just put a DVD or Blu-Ray in and it rips it - or you can D/L them. There are cheaper solutions these days but it's still awesome and unlike anything I've ever used...and it's legal) system says.

This was the last move I've purchased:

Hey, ltns! How's the house?

Doing just fine.

Although, I'd happily sell it and live in a double wide for a 100meg line...if I could just convince my wife lol.

But really, I think the house, land and barn are overkill and I'd love to move on. Garbage boonie internet service is just one of the reasons.

How are you?
