You're clean cut in the for a girl since gusting. Now. Our viewers and well let's look at some other fun as we got it last week's show after our conversation about each and I can't patrolling -- thing about it quite a few that you wrote in about Logitech quick cam pro 9000. And lauded Skype because of this new HD video conferencing feature. The will -- who -- by John design -- delightfully in your face Josh greetings to Atlanta Georgia -- you when you would be writing about the quick him. We're -- is forget for the week this week. We do want to correct some confusion though about the fabulous Logitech -- 9000. Both models and Skype especially for the ever so -- Joshua shouts out that there is that. For its web cams -- at this table doesn't understand that cancer is very do yet and it looks looks let's -- a few -- personal Skype's AC videoconferencing is not -- It's called high quality video it only works with a Logitech 9000 cameras and it's only high Def he considers exported like 4830 frames hurts. 640 by 430 frames is that would try to get -- and so into thinking -- the thirty frames per second behind yet. We don't consider that high Def but it does look a lot better and full screen in the usual briefly by 24053%. A video conference that. We also a big. Amazing camera terabytes two megapixel 1600 by 1200 that's -- it's still captures odds so in other words you can get that resolution only give me this still image captured but not video capture what you -- do what you're actually looking at right now is the -- by 720 video capture. It can deal -- generally considered sixty by seven way to be high Def either since 720. 9000 is missing a quarter. A seven point he's horizontal resolution accordance that the -- town that's let's like 300 and that's point 5% that's well it's a chunk."

" Yeah we'll take a deep breath Patrick one thing we've been noticing on net net conference with the 9000. Is very very nice actually it's not myself but it's Skype which is as far as we know just about the only consumer application that does something other. 320 by 240 fifteen frames per second so that's -- yeah it. We need you to tell us what does high resolution video conferencing that we like to note. Like which -- pointed out to us that that is quote. Many people use web -- for things like stop motion animation I used to -- Brit film's outcome but that's legal -- own site actually that used to be one of the it. -- there's actually. Few more than a seen since then that. Now that's a good thing this -- actually have a really cool one would be reenacted the 2001 between Al."

" Indeed when he's outside the station only -- can only guess it's awesome and the emotion as the latest nobody actually use the audio from. I'm gonna cut that off not that it's that when you put together a montage of your favorite Lego animations I'll give you links to it like that got so -- also actually you know an interesting -- Security cameras like the axis -- XIP camera higher resolutions 200 211 and that is the monolith like -- by 1024. Which is also kind of an interesting resolution is not quite HD. To a set -- I totally within 241600 by 1200. At a company called -- you know it makes them as high as sixteen megapixel camera -- you can focus -- on like a case the downside is that most of these are designed only freaknik connections and they run -- fifteen frames per second rate so the videos attached. -- and they used to cost hundreds of dollars like 500 to a thousand plus. Now the fun to play around with -- having cameras and access can lenses but we're not really considering those to be -- campsite."

" Yeah and that's it once I know it's interesting to note that all the resolutions actually correspond to be geared that he gave the ultra wide view -- a super high resolution right computer display. But enough of the video me and I think we need to move on Patrick in fact I think we need to move on to something that pays the bills are specifically are our bills. --"

" Basically he yanked and replaced it takes care of it up to sixteen terabytes of capacity after -- also got a device with a public broke -- would like to hear what it to -- those corporate Gigabit ethernet network.

" This week's Tekzilla gadget of the week ladies and gentlemen you pretty much pick for us it's Logitech quick -- 9000 mark you're so excited about. The Carl's ice optics are nice and the auto focus is pretty good and it -- well it kinda -- HD video. We mean by that it'll do an actual capture your desktop at 916 by 720 which is sort of like three quarters of 720. But what really has me excited it's something you could do with a quick and prone 9000 that you can't you with a the other video camera or hand as we like to think about. House on the market. You can use it with Skype to be 640 by 48030 frames per second video conferences if you've got a Logitech quick Campo technical that's why is this cool well thirty frames per second means -- herky jerky video effects quarterback for it looks shockingly good when you compare to the three pointer -- 255 frames per second video that's pretty much standard. In video conferencing. On the web check -- out ladies and gentlemen -- quicken -- thousand available are near everywhere and if you're looking for something a little smaller more portable check out politics quick cam pro for notebooks both sell for about a hundred bucks -- the video. Shockingly good."

" We haven't had a camera question grow and we're gonna have packets favorite digital camera accuracy that senior editor -- gritty and here to answer some of New York -- questions. Meantime we've got a more basic question from Latin bleeds but that's England. I'm in the market for a new digital camera and the choices of bewildering. Maybe you can help me find one that fills my criteria -- isn't much of a factory it must. She great pictures. As good as possible low light conditions smaller to medium size smaller than and that's all are however very good quality movie -- by three would be a bonus but not an essential. And 640 by 480 at thirty frames per second with few compression artifacts."

It's probably filled with bigger baby newborn -- photos meaning meaning not from the photos of the -- itself with a look of the big screen the or beating them by hypocrite because -- remember when it was disassembled.

" The -- painting debacle of ought said that the video and go to the expert gets filtered out. Now I've heard talk of really good things my Canon power shot the."

" Fifty consoles are a little over two dollars to -- recording box is pretty. Typical it's an eight megapixel camera now looking to get obsessed with mega pixels don't what you get about four -- six mega pixels. You have to have a huge -- like from at 228 megapixel camera huge difference from a 688 to a ten megapixel camera. Not a big difference. Not a real motivation for upgrading. You're much more likely to see. And an advantage in better optics are evil and as the glass it's in there and crossing on the backside after the CCD's -- now."

" Ports optical zoom and -- fifty. Optical image stabilization which is really great especially in low light because it helps with the shakes.

And dad John -- and I've been using smart FTP for awhile and tried file Mozilla both are okay but it -- files that would be a bit and reliable smart FTB is -- bit slow. Wondering if there's any other free slash open source FTP clients that I haven't found. Actually there that's ridiculous number -- FTP clients that are there and -- fortunately not all home are open source or free it's. Most of them -- actually -- like cute yet to be used to used to be free and to disregard my version. Not there anymore. So it's kind of weird a lot of these are start shifting over a lecture just because they need the money might fit into a paid paid for me that."

" I -- second thing John product is that one FTP client was slower than the other which makes me think if you're having slow up -- to your web server or from you know location -- consider switching out -- you can get a better. More performance more better -- uploaded but it."

" Usually he manages files -- part of DPI you'd both of those personally and it's smart it -- yet he is indeed slower than files. I'll who has probably the fastest it's not you know the fastest. -- TP clinic -- I never had reliability issues with I have spent literally hundreds of hours. Arousal never had a crash now I'm wondering if there's an issue with his connection or if its connection card issue with the install. Regardless you know -- you have several other options four -- if he so wishes to move onto another application. One of these is win as CP. And actually had this up on my desktop and this is a free. That TP client the cool thing though is it's pretty Erica and it's pretty basic but his support secure shell. Tunneling so if you want to do something like security.

And that you added to the client that sits in your browser some instances it's extensions for -- yes and it's fast that's released I was actually matching up late and with.

Larry you're a little more us gimmicky you can that a try yeah. You wanted to do vehicle -- with put us check out FTP thought fleeing and this is essentially want to install it it makes a little drop box and that's really meant for people who want to upload a lot -- he flings stuff. On need to do is. Right click on something and you can fling it. When you're uploading -- when it down on the usefulness so that's all you need to do the only weird thing is it has stuff. Because they're trying to sell -- other stuff they want you to keep the option to install additional programs. Along with the FTP client I would do that but it just leave it and -- totally you know if you need -- burning application you might want to check out but overall its a -- a pretty. Useful tool especially if you're you know. Oh have to move all these files up to the server. The undercuts integrated into the the last as a yes and it's it's it's actually pretty slick as you know it has that again once you've run for the first time in you close it collapsing pop up a webpage thing.

" accurate you. It into more questions I. Ask is Berkeley's advertise. First up Scott -- question about notebook drives. Scott says he's looking to upgrade. His notebook hard drive or maybe buy new laptop is important is tax attorney -- of the -- 200 rpm drive is faster than if it -- hundred rpm drive. But how much faster let's -- by using -- 200 rpm to adjust to balance speed size and cost. Okay it's been a long time as a benchmark notebook drives. But there was an interesting time a few years ago or something really weird happened theory -- 200 should be faster -- you -- European revolutions per minute should be a lot faster that 5400 -- right -- it spins faster -- ago the heads over the disk faster than discos under the head faster and it'll -- those bits off. Faster. However when -- these huge. Drives that we've got into in the last few years the aerial density it's basically the matter bits per square inch has gotten so high the red indicate is where. -- slower drive. With a higher aerial density. Well actually at 5400 rpm move more bits underneath the head and airport rip the data assessment sequence of you know off the drive faster. Itself."

" You know what's it just because I was actually looking for new notebook hard drive for this very laptop until it elicits a -- that take their hard drive out. Now the thing is the the largest dries you can get for notebook around 320 gates. I'm are all 5400 RP -- okay there's one that's 42 but you know want to use them when. The fastest of the largest 7200 spindle drive guys found for notebook is 200. I'll and from what I've gathered from basically reading everyone's experiences on purchasing the 320. Scorpio a western Digital's scorpio. Is that it's on par with if some 200 drive in most cases granted in a sequential read -- the drive spinning will be faster. -- Pretty much in daily use there was no significant there's no oh my gosh I'm using a slower drive over the other way. The other thing to remember though is with a faster drive -- and create more noise in also generate more heat the -- can be kind of debatable out of -- drive design has gotten so events of the last five years a lot of cases drives aren't nearly as noisy as they might have it at its could be pretty good should be. -- out of that clearly though they almost always those variable bit more heat. And you know. For the money I'd actually go for the larger capacity drives because it's like a 150 bucks off nearly for the 320. And you know if you're really looking at it because you're looking like I want to get more out of gaining on the laptop or want to get more out of video editing -- That performance is they're not gonna notice it as much because they've done it before and I actually gotten and I know I got better performance and it. The public."

" Okay I just 88 I'm gonna go and it's it's -- I would definitely say check -- like or interviewed dot com search around for basically you know. Look at your potential drive choices. Search rest of the benchmark sites are mentioned storage via constancy you've been doing a great job for a long time on. Once in -- extreme tech dot com just some of his stuff like this. And take a look at the benchmark performance because sometimes the C drive that's considerably faster or maybe considerably faster than one that you were using and if you're constantly. By opening and saving big files -- if you're working in Photoshop audio files video editing it you're opening up 9000. Gigabyte levels of your favorite video game. A little extra you pop the hard drive can be helpful not."

" Not me I just. My personal experience in the whole matter is you know. I've done it and there was its there was Marshall improvement for my experience for video editing I actually got more by plugging in old city 200. RPM 300 gig external drive in in my laptop and in that way there is actually got a noticeable improvement and it granted I'm also running -- that isn't containing deal last. So I can pool in the and drag files back off of it without you know rendering out to a virtual memory or swap file or you know accessing did you know that tried in different locations -- an excellent point. My money my opinion on the whole issue is go for the larger drive I don't know Patrick's is high because he seems to have a different view of the universe."

" I sit there like happy while waiting for example -- so that you which is that in the truck. Yep that's not what -- are going. You're -- quizzed about HD out converting dvd recorders. He writes in I posted about getting an -- to burn a dvd player okay we pretty much almost all of one of these and saw that they have some that are also dvd recorders. There he -- AT TV and get the cable signal directly from the cable line. And he also picks up some channels over the air over the air amazing medium quality now he's the looks like somebody up converted dvd recorders come with tuners and some don't. This -- going to need one with a tutor who want to connect to -- what happens and decided to get the digital cable service or I got satellite service. What it'd be able to go to the digital cable box recorder into the TV. Okay this is the -- double -- fraudulent."

" Well first of all pretty much every dvd recorder -- on the market as a shopping went from my debt -- shopping for one from my data a couple of months ago is that they all have -- even though they don't explicitly state tuner usually say our input or. Are they eat the tuners or are they analogue to that are all analog to analog -- are going to be real useless -- he's been there all analog tuner secret yet 2009. And the other thing to remember is that's. And it dvds it's not in each dvds and Blu-ray disc you're not gonna cramped. Well it's it's a dvd -- you can actually put high -- yes it's in video on dvd. Yet however these are all designed to create dvds in your pocket every dvd player house and innovate and get to rivers -- an -- to. You know and yes he -- up scaling dvd players to take standard definition and -- Tripoli the image so it -- or at least looks better on your HDTV yet these are good both you and I have upscale dvd players -- HD monitors and at their best they can -- an extraordinary job with the media that's on there making it look better 720. Television 1080. -- firewire input so you can off load you know DV camera with you know someone's birthday notification media. On converted out to dvd without a computer which is actually accident of the few times now and you're the guy. That the that the UH you know -- heaven forbid I use a feature that came with the light on the it also causes -- I didn't person -- the now that they -- they all video this is television for us today. That's. Also feature inputs for this video as well as component and component composite -- So you can run your plain old plain -- these chiller into it which I was going to respect make backups of my old TV recording. But they do not do component. And then never seen need to mind as I don't think that's gonna happen. So you can theoretically take the output via its video and composite video out of your satellite digital box and into dvd recorder. However that being said it's gonna be ST. This can be very low quality and it's not gonna pass through that image. And you go straight from the antenna to antenna. But what I mean is if you run an RF cable from an external antenna into here. Dvd recorder and don't use the dvd gorgeous uses a pass through injury. RH DTV yet you -- HD signals so the short answer is all of the dvd recorders we've seen on the market do not record -- he. I eat like blue here yet. Quality yet. And yet you can send in signals from any device that that output composite and S video into one of those recorded rather pass through the TV. And you can have the RF. Cable send your over the air signals from your device which passed through touch feature HDTV so you can still get HD quality over the air broadcasts. I lost in the us. -- because it's because you're acting not using the the each dvd recorder right. When you sit you know when you do with that he's very complex and RF cable and and you used as a pastor without turning it on and that's the same thing right but you're not but you're not according exactly and that's -- and anything -- that the products. Sorry it just could not bad. -- as you -- from hooked up yet you're out of Christina her right.

I had. Eighty gigs available now down to twenty what happens.

For its web cams -- at this table doesn't understand that cancer is very do yet and it looks looks let's -- a few -- personal Skype's AC videoconferencing is not -- It's called high quality video it only works with a Logitech 9000 cameras and it's only high Def he considers exported like 4830 frames hurts. 640 by 430 frames is that would try to get -- and so into thinking -- the thirty frames per second behind yet. We don't consider that high Def but it does look a lot better and full screen in the usual briefly by 24053%. A video conference that. We also a big. Amazing camera terabytes two megapixel 1600 by 1200 that's -- it's still captures odds so in other words you can get that resolution only give me this still image captured but not video capture what you -- do what you're actually looking at right now is the -- by 720 video capture. It can deal -- generally considered sixty by seven way to be high Def either since 720. 9000 is missing a quarter. A seven point he's horizontal resolution accordance that the -- town that's let's like 300 and that's point 5% that's well it's a chunk."

" Yeah we'll take a deep breath Patrick one thing we've been noticing on net net conference with the 9000. Is very very nice actually it's not myself but it's Skype which is as far as we know just about the only consumer application that does something other. 320 by 240 fifteen frames per second so that's -- yeah it. We need you to tell us what does high resolution video conferencing that we like to note. Like which -- pointed out to us that that is quote. Many people use web -- for things like stop motion animation I used to -- Brit film's outcome but that's legal -- own site actually that used to be one of the it. -- there's actually. Few more than a seen since then that. Now that's a good thing this -- actually have a really cool one would be reenacted the 2001 between Al."

" Indeed when he's outside the station only -- can only guess it's awesome and the emotion as the latest nobody actually use the audio from. I'm gonna cut that off not that it's that when you put together a montage of your favorite Lego animations I'll give you links to it like that got so -- also actually you know an interesting -- Security cameras like the axis -- XIP camera higher resolutions 200 211 and that is the monolith like -- by 1024. Which is also kind of an interesting resolution is not quite HD. To a set -- I totally within 241600 by 1200. At a company called -- you know it makes them as high as sixteen megapixel camera -- you can focus -- on like a case the downside is that most of these are designed only freaknik connections and they run -- fifteen frames per second rate so the videos attached. -- and they used to cost hundreds of dollars like 500 to a thousand plus. Now the fun to play around with -- having cameras and access can lenses but we're not really considering those to be -- campsite."

" Yeah and that's it once I know it's interesting to note that all the resolutions actually correspond to be geared that he gave the ultra wide view -- a super high resolution right computer display. But enough of the video me and I think we need to move on Patrick in fact I think we need to move on to something that pays the bills are specifically are our bills. --"

" Basically he yanked and replaced it takes care of it up to sixteen terabytes of capacity after -- also got a device with a public broke -- would like to hear what it to -- those corporate Gigabit ethernet network. I like that bot networks -- it really. Easy it's automated basically you plug you'd still be the software you're done so the idea of setting over the network storage. It's as easy as connecting to USB drive your computer.

" This week's Tekzilla gadget of the week ladies and gentlemen you pretty much pick for us it's Logitech quick -- 9000 mark you're so excited about. The Carl's ice optics are nice and the auto focus is pretty good and it -- well it kinda -- HD video. We mean by that it'll do an actual capture your desktop at 916 by 720 which is sort of like three quarters of 720. But what really has me excited it's something you could do with a quick and prone 9000 that you can't you with a the other video camera or hand as we like to think about. House on the market. You can use it with Skype to be 640 by 48030 frames per second video conferences if you've got a Logitech quick Campo technical that's why is this cool well thirty frames per second means -- herky jerky video effects quarterback for it looks shockingly good when you compare to the three pointer -- 255 frames per second video that's pretty much standard. In video conferencing. On the web check -- out ladies and gentlemen -- quicken -- thousand available are near everywhere and if you're looking for something a little smaller more portable check out politics quick cam pro for notebooks both sell for about a hundred bucks -- the video. Shockingly good."

" We haven't had a camera question grow and we're gonna have packets favorite digital camera accuracy that senior editor -- gritty and here to answer some of New York -- questions. Meantime we've got a more basic question from Latin bleeds but that's England. I'm in the market for a new digital camera and the choices of bewildering. Maybe you can help me find one that fills my criteria -- isn't much of a factory it must. She great pictures. As good as possible low light conditions smaller to medium size smaller than and that's all are however very good quality movie -- by three would be a bonus but not an essential. And 640 by 480 at thirty frames per second with few compression artifacts."

" Wow okay six -- a lot of cases is the maximum. A lot of hand held digital cameras and we're gonna have or agreement on who actually -- life for people working -- tech magazines back boot the stories she must patent this very accurately she won't be a hell that didn't -- Com and it was amazing how little the local big box store yesterday in it and see the kind of features you need for under 200 dollars these days.

It's probably filled with bigger baby newborn -- photos meaning meaning not from the photos of the -- itself with a look of the big screen the or beating them by hypocrite because -- remember when it was disassembled.

" The -- painting debacle of ought said that the video and go to the expert gets filtered out. Now I've heard talk of really good things my Canon power shot the."

" Fifty consoles are a little over two dollars to -- recording box is pretty. Typical it's an eight megapixel camera now looking to get obsessed with mega pixels don't what you get about four -- six mega pixels. You have to have a huge -- like from at 228 megapixel camera huge difference from a 688 to a ten megapixel camera. Not a big difference. Not a real motivation for upgrading. You're much more likely to see. And an advantage in better optics are evil and as the glass it's in there and crossing on the backside after the CCD's -- now."

" Ports optical zoom and -- fifty. Optical image stabilization which is really great especially in low light because it helps with the shakes. Two point five inch LCD which is nice for focusing and I -- settings up to 1600 now. You interviewer Phil Bryant in this one. -- not so hot the 1600 is pretty ugly the 800 is -- hundred is located in -- under eight by ten. -- advocates -- little too noisy otherwise in the video six for about 4030 frames per second.

" British. Rather it's a question. -- and we actually have one from John up in Ontario Canada. And dad John -- and I've been using smart FTP for awhile and tried file Mozilla both are okay but it -- files that would be a bit and reliable smart FTB is -- bit slow. Wondering if there's any other free slash open source FTP clients that I haven't found. Actually there that's ridiculous number -- FTP clients that are there and -- fortunately not all home are open source or free it's. Most of them -- actually -- like cute yet to be used to used to be free and to disregard my version. Not there anymore. So it's kind of weird a lot of these are start shifting over a lecture just because they need the money might fit into a paid paid for me that."

" I -- second thing John product is that one FTP client was slower than the other which makes me think if you're having slow up -- to your web server or from you know location -- consider switching out -- you can get a better. More performance more better -- uploaded but it."

" Usually he manages files -- part of DPI you'd both of those personally and it's smart it -- yet he is indeed slower than files. I'll who has probably the fastest it's not you know the fastest. -- TP clinic -- I never had reliability issues with I have spent literally hundreds of hours. Arousal never had a crash now I'm wondering if there's an issue with his connection or if its connection card issue with the install. Regardless you know -- you have several other options four -- if he so wishes to move onto another application. One of these is win as CP. And actually had this up on my desktop and this is a free. That TP client the cool thing though is it's pretty Erica and it's pretty basic but his support secure shell. Tunneling so if you want to do something like security. A site forty when he gets sensitive information about documents are some kind of stated that like for example to new movie release that no one else can see it. You can send that not to worry about -- Now log in after being sent their act which is we was at the station in this that you support pretty secure to be -- that it's a pretty much but you'd be surprised if some of -- like her clients -- free ones that don't support it or don't support it as well noticeable stripped. It is an old school is windows. Windows -- 98. And you know let me I can locking their with a standard. Let's go to clinics archives on the just slightly standard have to because -- be connecting to your ticket takes a serious program to shoot -- those FTP love. Live camera.

And that you added to the client that sits in your browser some instances it's extensions for -- yes and it's fast that's released I was actually matching up late and with.

Larry you're a little more us gimmicky you can that a try yeah. You wanted to do vehicle -- with put us check out FTP thought fleeing and this is essentially want to install it it makes a little drop box and that's really meant for people who want to upload a lot -- he flings stuff. On need to do is. Right click on something and you can fling it. When you're uploading -- when it down on the usefulness so that's all you need to do the only weird thing is it has stuff. Because they're trying to sell -- other stuff they want you to keep the option to install additional programs. Along with the FTP client I would do that but it just leave it and -- totally you know if you need -- burning application you might want to check out but overall its a -- a pretty. Useful tool especially if you're you know. Oh have to move all these files up to the server. The undercuts integrated into the the last as a yes and it's it's it's actually pretty slick as you know it has that again once you've run for the first time in you close it collapsing pop up a webpage thing.

" accurate you. It into more questions I. Ask is Berkeley's advertise. First up Scott -- question about notebook drives. Scott says he's looking to upgrade. His notebook hard drive or maybe buy new laptop is important is tax attorney -- of the -- 200 rpm drive is faster than if it -- hundred rpm drive. But how much faster let's -- by using -- 200 rpm to adjust to balance speed size and cost. Okay it's been a long time as a benchmark notebook drives. But there was an interesting time a few years ago or something really weird happened theory -- 200 should be faster -- you -- European revolutions per minute should be a lot faster that 5400 -- right -- it spins faster -- ago the heads over the disk faster than discos under the head faster and it'll -- those bits off. Faster. However when -- these huge. Drives that we've got into in the last few years the aerial density it's basically the matter bits per square inch has gotten so high the red indicate is where. -- slower drive. With a higher aerial density. Well actually at 5400 rpm move more bits underneath the head and airport rip the data assessment sequence of you know off the drive faster. Itself."

" You know what's it just because I was actually looking for new notebook hard drive for this very laptop until it elicits a -- that take their hard drive out. Now the thing is the the largest dries you can get for notebook around 320 gates. I'm are all 5400 RP -- okay there's one that's 42 but you know want to use them when. The fastest of the largest 7200 spindle drive guys found for notebook is 200. I'll and from what I've gathered from basically reading everyone's experiences on purchasing the 320. Scorpio a western Digital's scorpio. Is that it's on par with if some 200 drive in most cases granted in a sequential read -- the drive spinning will be faster. -- Pretty much in daily use there was no significant there's no oh my gosh I'm using a slower drive over the other way. The other thing to remember though is with a faster drive -- and create more noise in also generate more heat the -- can be kind of debatable out of -- drive design has gotten so events of the last five years a lot of cases drives aren't nearly as noisy as they might have it at its could be pretty good should be. -- out of that clearly though they almost always those variable bit more heat. And you know. For the money I'd actually go for the larger capacity drives because it's like a 150 bucks off nearly for the 320. And you know if you're really looking at it because you're looking like I want to get more out of gaining on the laptop or want to get more out of video editing -- That performance is they're not gonna notice it as much because they've done it before and I actually gotten and I know I got better performance and it. The public."

" Okay I just 88 I'm gonna go and it's it's -- I would definitely say check -- like or interviewed dot com search around for basically you know. Look at your potential drive choices. Search rest of the benchmark sites are mentioned storage via constancy you've been doing a great job for a long time on. Once in -- extreme tech dot com just some of his stuff like this. And take a look at the benchmark performance because sometimes the C drive that's considerably faster or maybe considerably faster than one that you were using and if you're constantly. By opening and saving big files -- if you're working in Photoshop audio files video editing it you're opening up 9000. Gigabyte levels of your favorite video game. A little extra you pop the hard drive can be helpful not."

" Not me I just. My personal experience in the whole matter is you know. I've done it and there was its there was Marshall improvement for my experience for video editing I actually got more by plugging in old city 200. RPM 300 gig external drive in in my laptop and in that way there is actually got a noticeable improvement and it granted I'm also running -- that isn't containing deal last. So I can pool in the and drag files back off of it without you know rendering out to a virtual memory or swap file or you know accessing did you know that tried in different locations -- an excellent point. My money my opinion on the whole issue is go for the larger drive I don't know Patrick's is high because he seems to have a different view of the universe."

" I sit there like happy while waiting for example -- so that you which is that in the truck. Yep that's not what -- are going. You're -- quizzed about HD out converting dvd recorders. He writes in I posted about getting an -- to burn a dvd player okay we pretty much almost all of one of these and saw that they have some that are also dvd recorders. There he -- AT TV and get the cable signal directly from the cable line. And he also picks up some channels over the air over the air amazing medium quality now he's the looks like somebody up converted dvd recorders come with tuners and some don't. This -- going to need one with a tutor who want to connect to -- what happens and decided to get the digital cable service or I got satellite service. What it'd be able to go to the digital cable box recorder into the TV. Okay this is the -- double -- fraudulent."

" Well first of all pretty much every dvd recorder -- on the market as a shopping went from my debt -- shopping for one from my data a couple of months ago is that they all have -- even though they don't explicitly state tuner usually say our input or. Are they eat the tuners or are they analogue to that are all analog to analog -- are going to be real useless -- he's been there all analog tuner secret yet 2009. And the other thing to remember is that's. And it dvds it's not in each dvds and Blu-ray disc you're not gonna cramped. Well it's it's a dvd -- you can actually put high -- yes it's in video on dvd. Yet however these are all designed to create dvds in your pocket every dvd player house and innovate and get to rivers -- an -- to. You know and yes he -- up scaling dvd players to take standard definition and -- Tripoli the image so it -- or at least looks better on your HDTV yet these are good both you and I have upscale dvd players -- HD monitors and at their best they can -- an extraordinary job with the media that's on there making it look better 720. Television 1080. -- firewire input so you can off load you know DV camera with you know someone's birthday notification media. On converted out to dvd without a computer which is actually accident of the few times now and you're the guy. That the that the UH you know -- heaven forbid I use a feature that came with the light on the it also causes -- I didn't person -- the now that they -- they all video this is television for us today. That's. Also feature inputs for this video as well as component and component composite -- So you can run your plain old plain -- these chiller into it which I was going to respect make backups of my old TV recording. But they do not do component. And then never seen need to mind as I don't think that's gonna happen. So you can theoretically take the output via its video and composite video out of your satellite digital box and into dvd recorder. However that being said it's gonna be ST. This can be very low quality and it's not gonna pass through that image. And you go straight from the antenna to antenna. But what I mean is if you run an RF cable from an external antenna into here. Dvd recorder and don't use the dvd gorgeous uses a pass through injury. RH DTV yet you -- HD signals so the short answer is all of the dvd recorders we've seen on the market do not record -- he. I eat like blue here yet. Quality yet. And yet you can send in signals from any device that that output composite and S video into one of those recorded rather pass through the TV. And you can have the RF. Cable send your over the air signals from your device which passed through touch feature HDTV so you can still get HD quality over the air broadcasts. I lost in the us. -- because it's because you're acting not using the the each dvd recorder right. When you sit you know when you do with that he's very complex and RF cable and and you used as a pastor without turning it on and that's the same thing right but you're not but you're not according exactly and that's -- and anything -- that the products.
