i study pixels and tv many yearasss..

now TRUE:

- THE SIZE OF ONE PIXEL IS IMPORTANT,ANOTHER company have match large size of 1 dot pixel on the screen. right? now: when you have 1440p go follow only LCD for pc becouse in computers you know how many pixels have this monitor. so if you wath wideo tv or games on big one pixel from EXAMPLE 720P IS COPYAROUND THIS PIXEL COLOR AND MAKING SHIT VIEV.bIG screen but without recompressing to 1080p or 1440p what is MAGIC, ANY SIGNAL YOU HAVE CONVERT IN REALLY TIME to full enjoy GESS THIS HAVE ONLY PANASONIC

The resolution of the eye is diffraction limited by the size of the opening of the pupil. Back some mumble years ago we laid back a little in physics class and made some measurements of acuity. Since they were somewhat sloppy we simply looked for trends. With the pupil larger and fully dark adapted in a darked room all of us showed better visual acuity by a large margin than in a bright daylight setting.

This is one of the major reasons why films are shown in a darkened theater. You will see more detail in the visual presentation that way.

Another thing that I thought of this morning truly puzzled me. I've read a number of threads on message boards about the "bit perfect" copy, and have come to an understanding that doing this is a non-trivial task, but how can this be?

If I make an analogy where instead of "songs" I use the word "documents" or "Photoshop files" then the idea of not getting a bit perfect copy seems absurd. If you can't get back exactly the bits you stored onto the disk then Word or Photoshop won't be able to read the file, and suddenly the CD becomes a pretty bad storage mechanism.

So what is it about the way that music is stored on a CD that makes getting back what the artist / label put down at all a challenge or issue? Why isn't bit perfect copying trivially easy? Just as getting the same word doc you burned to CD back without corruption is.

And yes, to answer your questions, I now use my 12-port RAID controller in JBOD / pass-through mode. No RAID array, just 12 drives visible directly to the operating system. WHS is super-easy to use and I highly recommend it for anyone, whether first-time or experienced with server builds.

I don't know that it can rip to FLAC and MP3 at the same time, but it can to a batch-convert of entire directory trees. So you can rip everything to FLAC and then do a batch convert and create the MP3s in a different directory. If you're converting to MP3 for compatibility with a portable device, dbPowerAmp has a program called Sveta Portable Audio that can do on-the-fly conversion from/to any format. So there would no reason to create the mp3s and store them — just create them on-the-fly when you sync your device.

Is there a solution (commercial or otherwise, Mac or Win) that automates this so that I can simply insert a disc, wait for the disc to be done and ejected and then insert another?

In between the program would perform an exact copy, encode to FLAC, encode a copy to mp3, tag it from CDDB, download cover art and put the FLAC and mp3 files into different but organized folders.

Yours Hopefully,

I was under the impression that WHS could not be used with RAID. How did you incorporate RAID with WHS?

Any suggestions or recommendations for a media server would be welcome.

For some reason this seller on eBay does this all the time and sells them as "NEW".
