You should be able to surpass their speed without too much trouble.

Your limited by the amount of bandwidth you internet provider will let you use, and the size of your storage. There are no features like auto syncronize (or whatever dropbox call it). However there may be a way to map the FTP on remote computers and sync after changes to a local directory. I know I can sync folders on domain computers, I don’t know about ftp, never tried it.

After reaing John’s comments, I did a search on “ffmpeg prores legal” The summary of what I found is that the files created identify as prores with most(?) NLE’s and players but seem to fail within FCP. This indicates that the reverse engineering, which in some countries is in fact legal, failed to get it 100% correct. Thus, a file created using the ffmpeg method is not technically legal as far as strict ahdesion to the format specsifications.

In the law sense of legal I think John makes a good point about Apple being the only one to distribute the prores encoder. I once made a $335 mistake by using music I thought was legal for me to use. I have been extra careful since then. I would not want to find out in 3 years that I have made 100’s pricey mistakes by using an encoder I thought was legal.

I think it is safe to say that the encoder offered in ffmpeg is not 100 compliant with the prores standard and that the use of this encoder would be considered an infrigment of Apple’s technology.

Scott,

How fast is your internet connection? You can run your own FTP.
Filezilla makes it easy. https://filezilla-project.org/

Put the server on the fastest host and all others run the client.

The key name is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.veg]

the value (double click on the word “(Default)”) needs to be changed to “vegas120”

Tarik,

I’m sure John will tell you to use MPEG-2 and AC3 codecs.

Video: MainConcept MPEG-2 DVD Architect NTSC video stream
Audio: Dolby Digital AC3 Stereo DVD

Plug these into DVD Architect and you’re good to go.

And on a personal note please consider leaving off the colorful exclamations, thank you.

I can suggest a laptop would choke at 15 Mbps, but not this machine.
Have you ever used a codec pack? (bad idea)
