Episode #115
I have video that I capture at work as a police officer. We don’t have departmental videos, we have to set ourselves up. As the department won’t store the files we have to do so at home. I normally copy them to the hard disk then every month or so copy them to DVD before deleting them from the HDD. Is there a copy or backup program that will span disks as the data is about 30GB per month? I have been manually doing this but if there was a way to semi-automate this when one disk is full it just asks for another disk. WinZip is suppose to do this but it doesn’t seem to work. Love the show and I am getting into the pod casts whilst I sit in the speed camera van for 3 hours at a time.

Most backup or burning software should do this. One that definitely does is NTI’s Backup Now. http://www.ntius.com/backup_now.asp

- Casio Exilim EX-Z77
$199
With so many people shooting video simply for uploading to YouTube, it’s not a surprise that certain gadgets are making the process easier. The Exilim EX-Z77 is a full-functional 7.2 megapixel camera that can also shoot video…but the key difference is that it also has a YouTube-specific shooting mode. That means that it captures the video in a format that’s already Optimized for YouTube…no tweaking or resizing required. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t have a lot of onboard memory, so if you want to shoot more than 30 seconds of video at a time, you’ll really want to pick up a large SecureDigital card at the same time. It also has a proprietary USB connector—bucking the general industry trend to the more standardized mini connector—meaning if you lose the cable you’ll have to shell out for a special Casio cable rather than borrowing a standard cable from one of your other USB gadgets.Shiny

- Line Rider
Line Rider was originally created by Boštjan Cadež, a Slovenian university student, in September of 2006. It almost immediately gathered a cult following and became the seventh quickest gaining keyword in Google. Since that time, the ‘toy’ has generated over 16 million views. Fans quickly noticed that they could create tracks, set them to music, and share them over YouTube.com. Currently, there are over 11,000 shared videos with many more to come. inXile Entertainment is extremely excited to work with Boštjan in order to reach the full potential that we feel the Line Rider application can live up to. Keep an eye on this site for more information from Line Rider.
