270 bondage projects from 2009-2011

On trawling through my backup drives, I find I have most (if not all) of the video produced in 4x3 aspect ratio during the above time frame. Because they are stored as original imports, it would be a simple matter to upscale them to 1080p for republishing. Of course, it takes a lot of time to do that, so I would only pick a sample for now. Perhaps in the future when I have a much more powerful computer, I could undertake more of them.

There's a lot which don't have much substance; back in those days, no one seemed to care, they usually sold pretty well regardless. Now, more involved storylines are preferred. I will therefore select a few of the more complex videos from that time and see what I can do with them. They will be remastered in the true sense of the word, not only enhanced and upscaled, but re-edited from scratch. I love doing this sort of thing, if only it didn't take so much time to do it.

You love doing it Dave. We love seeing it.

Is it a financial or time issue to get the powerful computer/server and upgrade the videos? Is it both?

WOULD THIS HELP!

Is it a financial or time issue to get the powerful computer/server and upgrade the videos? Is it both?

What I'm looking at is a Mac Studio with monitor, so about $7,500 for the power I want it to have. At the moment, I am paying off hospital bills and taxes, so common sense tells me to delay plunging into this at the moment. I can get by for a while yet.There's no question though, that a changing market compels one to keep up with the advances in hardwar4e.

As for servers, I already have two required to run the business. A third would add considerably to the annual running costs, so I'm trying to avoid having to take that step. I know someone will ask why I need dedicated servers, and the answer is simple - 3 TB of data, and OpenCart stores that require a lot of ram for downloads. If I share servers, my activities either shut out other users or crashes them. My hosting company strongly recommended that I go with being self-contained a long time ago.

[adivie]

So, you want/need the Mac studio with monitor. You want to hold off on getting a third server. Is that correct?

[davidnorth]

I don't want a third server at all. I will start to remove poorly selling content when the need arises; there's no point in filling a disc with content no one is interested in.

I'll be dealing with the equipment upgrade for editing and production when the time is right.

[adivie]

That makes sense. Get rid of what is not selling or selling well. Harty will hate to see Beverly's videos go away. We do what we have to do.
