Most people i know who've bought laptops in the last few years have opted (when there was a dvd installed) to have it removed and a second large capacity hd installed instead (the boot drive usually being a relatively small ssd).

not only do i have my files backed up to numerous drives (stored in different locations), but also on the cloud. Usb/hard drives might fail, but backing up files to numerous drives is not only a sensible precaution but, especially commercially, a no-brainer. Unfortunately in this industry if you want a quality result you have to have multiple different products that seemingly do the same thing.Īnd dvd/bray never fail? i have brand name discs from 10 years ago that fail in some drives (not all), and others from even longer back that are kaput in all drives. Sure there are plenty of free utility's that can make direct play DVD or BluRay as well. Once you have the files prepped you can use Encore to make either type with or without menu's. Of course you need a massive machine to do that in less than a lifetime, but it can be done none the less. Resolve also has fairly decent audio restoration tools. The nice thing about using resolve is you can fix the noise and color issues that plagued the consumer grade DV cameras. Or I suppose you could just open the file with Adobe Media Encoder, it has preset output types. Pull that file into premier and then export from their. What I've Done is to encode to one of the near lossless codecs, like DNX HD. Same goes for SSD, but fortunately with the exception of Portable SSD they always are plugged in. You start to get a pile of USB drives you only look at once in a great moon, they will fail. The reason not to use USB to replace the DV tapes is that all flash media relies on electrical current to keep it's bits straight.
