Everybody. Just wanted to give a quick update. Most of my real life stuff has been caught up now, but I have had a hard drive failure on my laptop. The only replacement I have available was a whopping 100 gig hard drive, so the quality might suffer slightly just because I don't quite have the space to render as large of files anymore. I'll see if I can find a workaround by possibly rendering to an external hard drive comma but I just wanted to give everybody fair warning that a twenty-year-old N64 game might look slightly worse than it already has. But I also wanted to say I'm about back on track. Thank you for your patience.

What kind of hard drive do you need, and what's the smallest size you'd prefer? I (or someone else?) might have something kicking around here that I could part with. Would an external be fine?

I think I could work worth anything over 160GB (2.5 inch SATA). That would let me install the software, have a bunch of source files, and render anything up to a 30-40 min vid and reencode it. An external might be fine. I have an older external right now that I will try to render to and see how well that works. Thanks.

I'll poke around tomorrow or this weekend and see what I have kicking around. I know I have a 250 GB external (USB2/FW400), a 1TB external (USB2/FW800), and a 320 GB 2.5" 9.5mm drive around. If any of those sound good to you just let me know.
