hello everyone, how often do i have to reboot my pc after making a backup of an movie or is it possible to make 2 or 3 movies back to back without shutting down the pc i currently use clonedvd and anydvd software to make backups
Reboot is not required at all. It depends on HD size and Memory available as to how many you can store.
Back-up as many as you can in a row with reputable software/or method/or what ever works for you. If you have conflicting software a reboot might be the ticket for success, who's to say. It may cause failure. I don't mind a reboot now and then to increase the ease of operation.
I recently with rebates upgraded RAM $29 per 512. Easy way to increase the odds/bang for buck. I run 2g RAM on main and 1.5 on secondary computer. Look how much you can upgrade. Not that it's necessary just more efficient and more chance for success with video.
i burn the same movie(lord of war) twice back to back 1st score 93 2nd score 70 lite on dvd drive burnt at 4x
More than likely media related... I have done as many as 8 backups of different movies in succession without a reboot without any ill effects...
