I have an enormous Anime file, I normally take the Anime I get and open it in Magic Pro and redo the codec to MP4 to compress it better for storage with out a lot of loss in quality. It is also better for streaming from the server to the media center pc that way. Also I got a sweet deal a year ago on NewEgg and got 5000-DVD/Rs for on the cheap! so can burn them as well, normally if it is a 12 or 13ep series around there I will burn it, sometimes if it goes 2 seasons for 24, but like my Bleach File I have a dedicated 500GB HDD just for it LOL!.
I dislike when I think I am running out of storage space.
Also, Jan forgot she has some paperwork to do before bed, and it has to be done tonight so am still here for a few more lol :)
Oh Watermelon-chan, I am sorry to hear it did not good well :( keep your chin up tho! it will next time :)
