  1. Is anyone having trouble mounting exfat drives with an m2 using ventura 13.5.1? My gf uses big sur and her samsung T7 (that was originally formatted exfat with a windows computer, I think) shows up just fine on her 2014 intel mac. However; with my m2 max using ventura 13.5.1, that drive appears for like 2 seconds, then disappears. So goddamn annoying. What is causing this? Any help would be most appreciated. I am aware exfat is shit and I shouldn't use it b/c it doesn't have journaling.
  2. these look p good! shame they're out of stock everywhere
  3. Ah okay that's what i assumed. 2.5 or 5gbps is fine (even 1gbps honestly) for the ethernet then. I don't mind. Still looking for it to have HDMI/4K60hz + three or more USB-A 3.2 ports on top of ethernet^
  4. Hi all. so my work gave me an older proart monitor that doesn’t have USB-C so I’m wanting to find a USB hub that has the following for under $200 ideally; but please lmk if the following doesn’t exist for this pricepoint. - at least three USB-A 3.2 ports - HDMI that can do 4K @ 60hz - 10gbps ethernet thanks in advance.
  5. I mean the one in my machine rn lasted a decade without breaking a sweat. I'd certainly argue that some brands/specifications of a particular HDD can warrant one being 'more reliable over time' than another. Not really looking for external atm; due to the cost; as you'd mentioned.
  6. Howdy folks. So I work in video production as well lowkey being a data hoarder in general. My ye olde' 3TB seagate(I think?) is starting to fill up, so I was thinking about getting a replacement that was closer to 8TB-20TB, especially with prime day coming up. Not interested in cloud storage right now. Ideally would like a CMR drive with 7200rpm and a 256mb+cache. Wanting the most-reliable/stable-possible-drive I can get; while not breaking a few hundred. Looking to spend no more than $200(ish), so figured i'd post here rather than just slam my head into the 'buy now' option on the first result on amazon/newegg. Would love to hear any/all options + opinions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks yall
  7. Nice; yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for. Any reason you used HEVC?
  8. Right, I get the difference between WQHD/UHD. I have an NVIDIA card so there wouldn't be a reason to use x264. right? TLDR: I've seen countless tutorials/screenrecording videos on YT that are 4K and have parts in the video where they smoothly zoom in on a webpage or program and it has almost zero discernable quality loss. That's what I'm looking for.
  9. Would CQP be better for this, then? I only need 30 sec(ish) clips, so even if they were less than a few GB per clip, it's fine. I have the space, I don't need PURE lossless quality loss but i'm definitely looking for 90% perfect
  10. wait, actually? 600K bitrate lmao? My setup is decent but nothing crazy. I have a 1st gen ryzen 1800X paired with 32GB at 3000mhz with a 1080TI. If I buss it all the way to 600K, wouldn't "lossless" instead of CBR be the way to go? Even a sub 10 second recording at 60K bitrate was upwards of 300MB, wouldn't 600K bitrate come close to the file size of lossless? I almost thought it was a troll response but I mean, this makes sense in theory. Thanks! Edit: it seems like OBS will only let me input up to 300K bitrate? Should I still be using CBR?
  11. Hi yall- Apologies for this monster post. Really looking for some clarity here. So I've been wondering this for YEARS- in my line of work I'll be often asked to get screen recorded footage of any number of things- I take that footage (presumably screen recorded in 4K) and plop it into After Effects, and ideally zoom in to 150%-200% or skew it with 3D cameras and have it look crystal clear, especially text. This is not the case. I've seen loads of YT videos that are exported in 4K, so you would think they obviously screen-recorded in 4K, but when I record in OBS, and zoom even 30% past 100% in After Effects, the text crispness is noticeably lossy. I am severely fucking overthinking this and would love to know a PROPER method to get really high quality screen recordings. That being said, I do have a 21:9 monitor- that is a nontraditional 3440x1440. So, I could record in 3440x1440 in OBS and then stretch just a bit in AE, right? Well sure, but the same issue arises as stated above^ I also have a second monitor, that IS a traditional 4K (3840x2160) but it is 60hz and the color accuracy is notably worse. This doesn't matter for a screen recording though, correct? Especially if I record in 59.94 in OBS. My obs settings for recording as of now are attached- Mind you- im not tied to OBS! Just looking for the best/easiest possible solution here, and I know there is one since I've seen hundreds of YT videos do so with seemingly no hassle. Thank you so much
  12. i would go tb4 if my mobo supported it. its an asus prime pro x370; so, quite old, im limited to like 5gbps on the USB-C 3.1 front port
