Ok I am not much concerned about data loss as I have 2 external drives
one 150gb and one 250g the smaller one has about 100g of video clips to
be used in the video I intend to start to work on in a week or two. I
have a few things to get straight on my programs first I have about 45
minutes of video that I put together on Premeire and about another hour
to put together and edit in cinelerra. The total thing to be two hours.
Total it is about a years work to edit but my son and daughter will do
some of the work on their boxes and forward to me. I will do it and
licence under Creative commons. So if anyone wants to work on a video I
will be glad to have them. Eespecially a good manager.
