I have backups of unwatched video from a T2 and Foxsat on one of my servers. These are straight TS files, but my Sony BD player will not play them back: I get a coloured splodge on-screen and no sound. No great problem, as I have other players that will handle them, but I know that if I get VideoRedo to convert them to .mpg, they are fine on the Sony. This got me thinking...
There is about 300Gb of stuff on the server on my LAN. VideoRedo has a batch mode and each hour of video takes around 10 seconds on my laptop to convert (there's SSD for you!), so my natural thought was:
a) Copy files to laptop
b) Convert on laptop
c) Copy back to sever
However, this requires copies, and each takes time. If I convert the files directly on the server, each hour takes far more than 10 seconds, but the reading and writing are presumably happening concurrently. So, which takes less time? Is it better to feed VideoRedo the files directly from the server?
