Minimum space for DVD project
Some one recently complain that Linux is not - because his project has taken too much space. Person who was complaining has a very small hard-drive about 30 gig! Now, anyone who know HD files, would laugh at this.
For example I use transcode - and I need some where around seven gig for making more 2 batches, fine turning, and a two or three dvd-rw, before recording it on a dvd-r.
Say, I have xvid movie -- abc.avi about 1.3 gig with ac3 + subbreastles
I converted it into mpg using transcode - it went about 3.2 gig
Using DVD-styler I created menu, chapter, subbreastles, and project has become a played dvd - size is 3.3 gig.
In an earlier thread on problems I was having with the Gnome panel on an ancient PC running RH 7.1, at a certain point there were errors on bootup when the...
Notice that my project has already taken 7.8 gig. Original xvid-divx file, convert into mpg, and the final project. Of course once recorded into a dvd - stuff can be deleted. Nevertheless, person have to have over 200 gig of hard-drive, most users are downloading stuff from torrent, itune.
As you can see anyone with a 30 gig hard-drive does have a system fit for multimedia task -- windows or Linux.
I should also mention that I am sharing 3 dvd images of a linux distro, that's in addition to the multimedia files I have - not counting apps, finished & un-finished project. All linux!
