If you do go down the NAS route remember you will need to back it up...and RAID is not a back up!IslandPink wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:46 pmYes, true - now, I checked and remembered I'd read a DVD ( Arena 'Beat Generation' documentary and David Lynch interview ) to the computer and got as far as it being in a folder, but it wouldn't play from there. Here's is a capture showing how it looks at the moment :

You cant say that too many times.RAID is not a back up
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

RAID is not a backup .
As well as RAID I have a backup I keep at home and one I keep elsewhere. If the house burns down most things can be replaced. Things like photos can't.

Well, it's nice that you are all sure about this
I assume this is what you're talking about ?

So, returning to my folder shown above - what can I do with this ?

Ah, looks like I can play the 'VOB' files with DivX , so that's something. A way of joining up the chunks back into a complete film would be good.
