(and let's not forget 'other'
)I just found out about this fan preservation thing, but already I think yours looks the most promising (well, and mverta's for different reasons). I don't have much practical video experience, but if I had the equipment I'm sure I'd be trying something like X0 myself. Until then, I'm glad to offer what little I can to your cause. I don't have any hard drives lying around, I'm afraid, but I've made a small donation through the site. I hope it helps!
A site question (sorry if it's been answered here and I just missed it): Why is there a 'login' form? Or is that just for X0 team members?
Thanks and good luck!
