New (Slow) Site
So, being lazy and such I decided to put up a new site using wordpress. Nice for management, etc. but for some reason which I cannot ascertain it’s very slow. It’s on its own server but apparently something with WordPress is borked. Anyway I figured I’d do this since my work with the HandBrake project has led me to things which do not really fit there but I figure someone might find useful. Most of this will probably have to do with video encoding ( mostly mac based ) and using video media on Apple products. Right now I am mostly running HandBrake encodes on the AppleTV.
One thing I have found useful is this hardware hack for the AppleTV. The AppleTV eSata Mod is a post I wrote on the HandBrake forums illustrating how I modded the “ATV” to use an external eSata drive to increase its local storage up to 1 TB and above. More on that to come. As well, since I got tired of using the OSX terminal to clone the atv drive, I wrote a mac osx gui to clone you’re AppleTV hard drive to a new, possibly larger hard drive since I am notoriously cli-phobic. More on that later as well. As a developer of the HandBrake MacGui (macintosh graphical user interface) I will try to elaborate here on why it is the way it is … from time to time.
Cheers.
