The next question is size and cost. Flatpanels themselves aren’t as expensive anymore, however touch screens aren’t your every day purchase and their prices are, in my opinion, still a bit high. At least one of usable size, not some little 14″ they use in retail stores. EloTouch (www.elotouch.com) makes some nice, large ones. Unfortunately they don’t list prices for stuff over 17″ (which is listed at $829). MagicTouch (www.magictouch.com) also makes a variety of (IR) products that might work. I just don’t see any of these systems as a viable solution for your every day road warrior editor, but more for a large outfit that can afford the high cost of one of these setups.

So what’s stopping us from using touch screens? While it might not be exactly the same as the video presentation in the first post, it would, in a sense, give you the same feeling, would it not?
My problem? Being able to do really fine adjustments. A mouse pointer generally works on a pixel by pixel reading, whereas screens tend to capture an area of pixels when you use your finger. And if I’m going to be using a stylus, I may as well grab the mouse.
One of the middle schools here in the district has Whiteboards in the class rooms, which are an awesome tool to use. The kids can simply touch the board to use the computer. They don’t need to use the mouse. But the problem is always what the kids refer to as “fat fingers”, there simply isn’t a whole lot in fine control with it.

[Joe Bowden] “You can’t use the real one without permission (sort of ironic, eh?).”
Seriously? What kinda idiot came up with that idea? I suppose they want to prevent any John Doe from claiming their stuff to be protected? Oh copyright laws, someone ought to make a bathroom book on it so I can enjoy it while on the can. 🙂

Well, not quite. I’ve never had problems with Encore writing the disc (or multiple discs). Perhaps because I never used anything else, but it’s always been fast for me.
What I was going to test was to just dump a bunch of data files in Nero and have it write them to an R/W, then erase the disc and repeat the process and see what the result is. If the resulting disc contains data corruption, then I know it’s the discs. If on the other hand everything is fine after that, then it’s something within Encore – what though, I wouldn’t know.

I did. With a new (unused) disc it works fine. But if I try to rewrite it, that’s when it doesn’t work. I’m thinking I might try doing a regular data burn with Nero, then try to rewrite the disc again (with Nero), see if I get bad data too. If so, then I know the discs are worthless.

It’s Encore 2.0. And I did do a Save As, under the assumption that it will only save those assets being used. Boy was I wrong when I looked in the Sources folder again. So it sounds to me like it’s a manual job. Why can’t Adobe be consistent in their applications? Ugh.

[Steven L. Gotz] “A SAN would be a great way to handle it as well.”
With the complicated setup and cost involved, I think you’ll find many users using NAS instead of SAN. Specially those small volume or hobbyists. I think…

Hey Aanarav, are those IDE or SATA drives?

Hey David, can I send you a link to look at? It’s an 11 MiB WMV file that’s a representation of what the menu would end up looking like once run. I’d like to hear your input. I don’t necessarily want to post the link here just yet since it’s still being worked on. For contact, check my profile. Thanks!

Remove them. All of them.
