Certainly not an expert. But I should think older hardware would be very
very slow.
Nothing fancy, and hardly ever doing any editing. Slow is OK
Mostly just making MP4s from DVDs, for the added convenience of access,
and eliminating risk of damaging the DVD. Multi-terabyte drives hold an
amazing amount. And, yes, I do own and keep the DVDs.
Doctor Who,
Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, One Step Beyond,
Blake's 7, Red Dwarf,
britcoms,
movies, mostly comedy, old SciFi, and classics
currently a totaal of about 4TB of MP4s.
My volume is such that I just batch process; I rip using ANYDVD, usually
on an XP machine, and then use Handbrake on Win7 to make MP4s. I start up
a queue, and walk away.
