Re: [News] Linux Fury at MSBBC Claimed to be Justified

Verily I say unto thee, that Mark Kent spake thusly:

I've got what I call a "drop zone" for media files on a server. It's
just a script that monitors for new files, then transcodes them to
whatever format I have set in the script (usually H264 for the iPod).
The drop zone is on an NFS/Samba share, so any new media files I get,
I just copy them to that share and forget about them. Some time later
I get Email notification when they're done.

Maybe I should get in touch with the MSBBC ... might save them a packet.
