Invest in CFast or SSD?

**CFexpress

I know the correct answer is both, usually reserving the ssd for copying the footage simultaneously while recording on CFexpress, but if having to choose one to start investing on (especially with data prices now), why choose one over the other?

PLEX won’t allow me to open any other file in NAS to make a new library

I have my Plex server in a UGREEN Nas (using docker) and my movies and tv folders are in a larger Shared Folder which Plex has access to when I make a new library I’m able to see only the movies and tv folders in the Shared Folder? Do I need to make a new image for each folder I add?

Does Plex still use The Movie Database to attach Cast &amp; Crew?

I uploaded short films of mine to Plex and wanted to add the Cast and Crew, but I saw on a post four years ago that you have to upload everyone included in The Movie Database and wait 1-2 days, then it will show up under matches in Plex. Before I waste my time doing the credits for 17+ films, could anyone verify this is still how it works, and Plex didn’t move onto something like IMDb instead?

The Pyxis 12k autofocus will work with any lens if there is an adapter right?

Just verifying that the Pyxis 12k autofocus will work with ef and pl lenses as long as the adapters have metal contacts right? I know it was made for L mount lenses in the specs but I’m running with Canon EF USM lenses and hope that it will still autofocus (albeit not as well)

How much did the Calvin Klein purple briefs cost in 1985?

Photography Tier System naming help

I am a photographer who is making a website where you can book sessions with me. I want to have four tiers with growing benefits and price but don’t know what to name them? Do I stay on theme with photography, or maybe just stick to well known things like basic premiere etc? And if you have any suggestions, more than happy to hear.

Stupid Question: How do you rename files before ripping on Mac?

I’ve been using MakeMKV for 3 years on windows and I can just rename the files from “Title_01” to the name of the movie before ripping it, but I don’t see any option to do that on Mac

How do I make a photo look like an oil painting (no ai)

I really like the art on the Romeo and Juliet 1968 poster but that is the only thing on it and I want to add maybe some scenes from the movie in the background but I want it to match the look of the actors in the poster. I assume there is a way that I can onion skin over a photo and paint using the paint tool but that would just look like I MS painted it, how can I get it to look really like an oil painting?

Is there anyway to get ffmpeg version 7.1.1 on Mac?

I am not a coding person, but I need ffmpeg specially version 7.1.1 to run my ersatz tv server, but there is no Mac compatible arm64 download option anywhere, the only one I’ve found is from videohelp.com which looks to be instead a snapshot N-122634-g0ebfd68096

I swear I used to play Fuel split screen coop

I used to play an off road racing game with a large map with my friend in 2014ish all the time on his Xbox 360. I have not had contact with this guy in 12 years and cannot ask him what the game was. I’m pretty damn sure it was Fuel, I bought the game and playing it the map and gameplay definitely reminds me of what we used to play, only problem is we used to play multiplayer. Fuel does not have a split screen option. I remember having times where we’d have to find each other on the map (because I wasn’t very good) and I’d get off the track and we’d crash into each other and shit.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what or how we were playing. Maybe it was a different game, maybe it had something to do with Xbox Live, I’m not sure. He had one Xbox 360 and we were not playing on separate devices.

If you have any idea of what game I could be thinking of, or what we were doing please let me know, but in pretty sure it was Fuel.

Can’t find any hidden logos of notable people of color in history

Imma be honest I don’t know how they’d do it without having the duck commit some version of blackface but there are hidden logos for a bunch of notable fair skinned people of history but none that I can find of people of color (Nelson Mandela, MLK Jr, Malcom X, Gandhi, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson etc). I mean there is a logo for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and not Thurgood Marshall.

Idk I could be wrong I just can’t find any of people of color.

My built-in domain is the only thing showing up when you search me up, and clicking on the url says no website exists

My website has been up for a year on its own, and it’s been discoverable and find under a domain I pay for, but recently the search results are just showing the built in domain name (which I have since changed I don’t know why it is just now showing up) and when clicking on it it says the website doesn’t exist. My actual domain I pay for does not show up in search browsers, yet if I hand type it in my website appears.

Optimal DVD Drive + Software

I have been Plexing for about three years now and my DVD reader is no longer reliable so I’m in the market for a new one, I’m not sure if the machine was on the way out already but a lot of Disney Blu-ray DVDs weren’t scanning and the disks physically were fine. I realize this could also be a software issue, but I don’t know the depths of how all this works (go easy on me I’m just curious).

Is there a DVD drive that’s best for uploading movies or one you prefer, I have a couple of 4k DVD options should I get a UHD Drive or just settle with Blu-ray? Also is there a better more reliable software than MakeMKV, let me know.

I am running off a MacBook M4 Max, uploading to a 48 TB NAS, and usually use MakeMKV & Handbrake

Pyxis 12k Battery Consumption

I’m looking to get a Pyxis 12k and some V-Mount batteries for it, let me know what you guys found with battery life.

I’d probably be looking at a 99Wh Smallrig (VB99 Pro) actually most likely 2 of them. I’d be shooting primarily at 24fps 8k Open Gate 8:1.

Let me know what you guys shoot and how much battery life you get out of yours.
