I'm sorry, I'm sure this is a complete n00b question, but I've been working with collecting data, and I'm starting to get to the point where I'd like to start populating a database, but I can't figure out what system will work best. Final Project: Dealing with TV Shows and information from the...

I'm talking about the hardware, mostly. I'm trying to be able to put a cost number on the barebones solution; I can pay for/add the SATA drives.

I'm renaming lots of Movie/TV Show files and putting in audio formats (DD5.1, AAC2.0, etc.) and video formats (MP4, XviD, x264, etc.). Normally, I just use the highest audio quality (they can get the other in the post or the NFO). However, I've been coming across some with both audios in the...

I suppose my current computer is running Mac OS X, I'm not particularly attached to the server's OS; but I wanted to be able to use the programs I currently use on my Ubuntu server to do the video processing part. My question was more about configuring the server to be able to store all this data.

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a server chassis and core to rig up a local storage system that would have enough computing power than I could put a copy of Ubuntu or something on it and have it do some video encoding, but mostly would just be a way for me to hook up a bunch of 2TB...

So, I know this is a really lame question, but I haven't been able to sort it out. I'm looking to purchase a server for some cloud computing. It looks like everything has 2 Hard Drive Bays (typically both for 2.5" SATA), which suggests to me that I'm probably going to be limited to something...

The best tool I've found so far has been ffmpeg. However, the regular ffmpeg and ffprobe tools won't show me DTS-HD MA 7.1; it seems it only detects up to 6 channels...? I could kinda get something going with a combination of ffmpeg and mediainfo, but I'm hoping to find one command-line...

How sad. I love the services these hosts provide because it allows not just sharing, but also personal storage (there's no way I would want most of the stuff I upload put onto external HDs and/or discs even if I could afford). Sad that the crowd here (and maybe most linksharing places at this...

Damn, yea, it has been looking like a lot of it is about httplib and http requesting stuff. So far I haven't found it easy to figure out the best way to figure out how to start figuring out how to turn what I do with my Firefox (or whatever browser into httplib format or http posts and...

Haha, wow. Well, clearly there would be a learning curve. So developing the second would be easier than the first, etc... Anyways, I'm not asking for someone to develop it for me. I'm asking for some direction in its development (what this section of the forum is supposed to be about)...

So, the sites I'm currently interested in doing this with are FileFactory FileJungle, and MegaShares. I'm wondering if there are good examples anywhere, or if anyone is willing to explain what the process would be (what I would have to do) in order to make it so I could make it so my python...

I'm trying to figure out how I can put together a python script to tag my MP4/M4V files so that they have all the metadata I want in iTunes. I have all the information-getting down fine. But I can't for the life of me figure out how metadata and iTunes and MP4/M4v files all work/are related...

So, I've recently been looking at/for hosts to start uploading to and share from. Went FileFactory because I want Lifetime Premium option for any host I start up (doesn't seem worth the risk for most/all of them at the moment, but I want the option). CramIt.In has such horrible speeds, and it...
