Oh sweet, you aware of the 1.01 over 1.02 firmware stuff? 1.01 works with Mike MKB (intentionally spelt wrong) while 1.02 is an attempt to patch against ripping. Worst of all, nobody selling these mention or are even aware which firmware they are so I bought an LG disc drive instead because there's a few sellers that actually firmware flash them to work with the program.

Are the Deklin Devices Archival Gold discs basically the BD version of UltraLife on CDs, gold coating and all? Also, if normal MABL blurays are so good then why am I having problems with Last Airbender Disc 5? I can't read a specific missing episode and when I finally did, my disc drive decided to straight up fall and it all went down hill from there. I need a new copy so I can make more back.

Claims, not strikes-necessarily.

Oh my gosh, that reminds me of this HD-DVD of Happy Feet that has a DVD on one side and HD-DVD on the other. Yes a double sided disc that contains two separate versions of the same movie. Pointless-download the Ama... (TH-cam won't allow that) uh... Tuunebotto will download the best 1080p24 (NOT 1080i LIKE BLURAY AND HD-DVD!) at a neat 5+mbps plus E-AC3 from Ama... Dang it, I wish I can mention it. There needs to be a 4K bluray release for Happy Feet.

Do note that between CDs, DVDs, and Blurays. The CDs are actually read as 700Mib that is Base 2. DVD/Bluray use Base 10-not accounting for the extra 24 bytes in a kibibyte. Your DVDs will have a real world capacity of 4.38 and 7.96 gibibytes respectively. I can;t remember the bluray capacity however. I calculate 48.8GB but I'm sure that's correct.

I know your channel is growing and doesn't get many views yet but I wanted to say I appreciate the information and effort you put into these videos.

Here's a consideration: the data layer itself is inorganic, but a common failure mode of discs is that the plastic layer is scratched so can no longer be read. This can be fixed to some degree with CDs and DVDs because the plastic layer is thick enough to be buffed somewhat to remove light scratches. With a Blu-Ray disc the plastic layer is much thinner and I don't believe scratches can be buffed out of it without compromising the ability of the laser to read it. This isn't a problem for long term cold storage really, but it might be a problem for wanting both long term storage and reasonably frequent usage. The lifetime may then fall to the lifetime of the plastic's resistance to the very light scratches gained from being removed from storage and played. If the sandwiching layer is still polycarb then that's a lifetime limiter in itself that even in the case of DVDs is usually lower than the data layer lifetime.

I wanna rock! I wanna a m disk rock!

i have 700gb of photos and videos that i want to cold storage for long time...which version of cd package would you choose?thnx

Helpful! Thank you

Hey, thanks for this, super helpful. Coincidentally, I have the two microphones you used for comparison (AT2020 and Samson Q2U) and another, Rode NT-USB. Addressing the AT2020 closer has improved the quality of my recordings.

The AI could not properly pronounce "AI", so it disqualifies it instantly...

Why not run some tests

What we NEED is a time machine

You know he's a tech wizard, hasn't washed and styled his hair for as along as M discs will last!!😂

Thank you so much. It is really appreciated. I know it is hard enough figuring this all out without also making content on it too!

Hi, why I can never adjust the mic value on the top right in audacity. Mic icon is on the left of Speaker icon. Speaker is adjustable, Mic doesn't do anything

Thank you buddy, Just what I needed!

Great video, thanks. Funny enough you have the exact same internal IP addresses for Proxmox (10.0.0.5) and Synology (10.0.0.1) 🙂

Thank you! This is easier to understand than the built in Display Settings in Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. After watching and trying Arandr I finally understood the logic nehind the built-in feature - Idk why but it is kind of messy if you want to set up a 4kTV (60hz) via HDMI and a FHD (144Hz) monitor via DP simulatneously (but showing the screen on only one of them). Thanks a lot again!

I noticed that no one in here addressed the "AZO" dye on CDs and while I'm not an archivist, I do remember blue dye CDs being the "premium" option, if you see an AZO(which is literally just a class of dyes in chemestry) dye'd CD without the gold layer, you can see how written data has a lot more contrast compared to most CD-Rs with an inorganic dye.

Imagine having so little stuff you can back up to disc. lol.

I've watched your video 10x and I cannot make this work. What you do on your screen absolutely doesn't happen on mine. Where am I going wrong?

I do the same. What do you do, when you use that thing? I mean how to you put it in the system as in use?

Excellent idea on the TXT repository for personal info on relevant categories. I'll implement this. ChatGPT has customization tabs for desired conversation style & personal info, 1500 characters each. These are supposedly set as default for every new conversation. I have iteratively configured & condensed these tabs by interviewing ChatGPT and having questions asked back. It will infinitely ask for "clarification" though when asking "are any of these instructions unclear? if so, what do you want clarified?" Do you have experience with optimizing this? ChatGPT frequently & blatantly ignores these instructions and jumps to the default response. This is annoying because I'm trying to make it maximally truth-seeking, yet it keeps being agreeable and trying to please me instead of answering the question.

I want an app that will nag me to take my meds (every few minutes) until I signify that I’ve done so. Will this app do that?

Did Maxell ever have them? I apparently have a few "M-Discs" from Japan that are Maxell branded and look like M-Discs. They have the exact same gold colour as the Verbatim M-Discs I have, Maxell ones show up as CMCMAG-BA3-000 and the Verbatim ones show up as MILLEN-MR1-000. So very interesting.

Doesn't chat GPT remember all of it's outputs, and it can refer back to all previous outputs with each new one?

You should really try PearAi editor and their custom prompts feature (continue ai extension on steroids)

After having two backup hard drives fail this year I've been looking at revisiting DVD/Blu Ray backup. I still have working burners and discs I burned in the early 2000s that still spin up and work can't say that about hard drives. Very informative and thanks for the videos.

I've been doing something similar with Obsidian for ages now; it's nice to see somebody on the same page. Thanks for the video.

Question! Thank you for this video. So, if that "Your archive" html page is a static page does that mean it will exist even once I deactivate / delete my twitter account? ... asking for a friend. ... I am that friend.

I stumbled across this initially thinking AZO was the best but now I find UltraLife. It's kind of ridiculous that AZO is popular yet pretty vague as to what they specifically do to make AZO as good as it is. Difference between layers please. At least the UltraLife archival discs seem to say dual reflective layer, gold is resistant to oxidization.

@11'02 that said "it works" it don't say it can be burned. It's very vague. And can be taken several ways. I would take "it works" and as being read. You may want to clear up this with better information

I need my picture

That’s exactly what I was looking for, I thought it was under the metal tab but I just wanted to make sure. Great video!

Do you have any videos that's shot with this setup? Trying to figure out if I should use this mic with my XA70 for a documentary

I personally use a ASUS BW-16D1HT mostly picked it because I like to archive and rip my blu-rays and 4k blu-rays and this drive was the best for flashing the firmware to do that. So far this drive has been reliable for me although I haven't yet tried burning blurays or m-discs and have only done DVD's and CD's as I'm realitivleity new with archival on optical media but hoping to make my first M-Disc soon. I got a really good deal on some verbatim ones since my local store was trying to get rid of them on clearance so I was able to pick up a pack for cheaper then the normal blurays. Also me personally I was never a fan of the slim drives they generally feel cheaper then the normal desktop ones Pioneer is a good brand but even slim ones from them have to have some compromises to fit in that size but we'll see how it goes for you. Hoping my ASUS one lasts long.

Buy a normal microphone. That sound is like from your ass.

Thank you!!

What name of burning software?

Can I see the x media I viewed, even though I didn't like it?

My store is selling the M-Discs on sale regularly for cheaper then the normal BD-R's lol So it's a win win for me. Probably because people aren't buying them as much or something.

Any updates?

I have starlink do you think this would help improve live chatting on streaming sites? I sometimes get on a live stream where someone can type to me but I don't always get all of their messages. I wonder if if this would help with that?

The biggest problem with the M-DISC is the lack of drives. I have a whole series of old CD and DVD drives, all my DVD burners can even read and write DVD-RAM. I made sure that they can do this when I bought them. But not a single one can read a BR M-DISC, and I don't know whether they can also read a DVD M-DISC, but it doesn't help because you can't buy a DVD-based M-DISC anymore anyway. Today there are only BR M-DISC available. So I could buy a new burner that can also read and write BR MD-DISC, but that would be my only drive then. What will I do in 30 years when the drive no longer works? With a CD-R I would at least have the opportunity to try out a whole series of old drives. Even DVD-RAM, the number of old drives available would be greater. And even if you don't take my own drives into account here, the same applies to the drives of friends. Some people would still have a drive that can read CD-R and DVD-R. With DVD-RAM the number is already significantly smaller, but with the BD MD-DISC it is vanishingly small. The writable BD was simply introduced far too late, there were already USB sticks available with a capacity of several GB for little money. That's why there aren't enough PCs with BD drives. Consoles are something entirely different, but consoles are not designed to read private data and then copy it over to some PC.

What your video size please reply

with kden live is way more manual and abit harder than using clipchamp from windows but I just had wierd bugs happening to me so I had to switch to kden live which I have been loving so far ... and thanks for the tips!

Doesn't matter. I have CD's from the 90's that still work and DVD's 20 years ago that still work. If you store it in normal temperature away from light you are set.

It seems my BD-R discs are the short-lived LTH type, the worst type; I burned a little over a decade ago, but they still work fine as I recently tested them all except for one disc that I couldn't copy all the data off. I'm considering possibly buying better discs and re-archiving those LTH types, plus the new stuff I need to archive. I really should do this more often than once a decade. A decade before that, my stuff is still on DVD+R discs; maybe I should consider doing something about those, too. To my surprise, all those still work.
