Moving Large Amounts of Data Between Computers on Network

There's no doubt doing something like h.264 compression to these videos would help tremendously, and while familiar with VDub, I'm not sure how to do batches, I thought you could only do one video at a time (which, sense the videos are broken into 30 second segments would take forever since I...

Moving Large Amounts of Data Between Computers on Network

Wow thanks for all the replies guys. I think I am definitely going to give that tera copy program a try. @mindless1 I already have a 2TB SATA 2 RAID 0 array that I record to inside the gaming computer. I was talking about how to copy it from that computer to my workstation computer.

Moving Large Amounts of Data Between Computers on Network

Hey there, Not sure if this is the right section for this but here it goes. I record myself playing computer games with a program called FRAPS. It basically creates a 4GB .avi file for every 30 seconds or so of footage. I routinely can get up to 600GB of footage on my gaming computer. I...

My 570 is at 732mhz and 1900 memory clock. What should I set it to to see if it fixes the problem? I have also tried increasing the voltage, but that has no effect.

Has anyone noticed that there are a heck of a lot of people out there with either 570s or 580s that get artifacting on their cards for no real reason (i.e. their cards are not overheating, they have adequate power, proper drivers, etc. etc.)? I am one of them, and I have RMA'd my card to EVGA...

Love the M416. As Zargon said, is nice at full quarters due to full auto, but for me at long range I do this extremely short burst pattern that kills as quickly as any other assault gun out there. I also hated it at first and was disappointed, but when I went back to it in order to get a...

No I hear ya man. What type of video card are you going with. Everyone's saying GTS 450 is the way to go, and it is at a great price, but I also hear processing cores and VRAM are important, and the 460 has twice the VRAM and ~50% more processing cores.
