Upgrading the version of WinRAR to the latest will fix this. Rarlabs changed the archive version between v4 & v5 and its not backwards compatible. Upgrading the software to v5.x will sort it.

The Rar format changed relatively recently when they released v5 of their RAR products (WinRAR etc). WinZip may need to be updated to support the new v5 format or, as has been suggested, use 7Zip ...

The write speed will be slower than an external hard drive. The read speeds will likely be ok. I wouldn't be using it for any major edits. The latency will be terrible. Get an SSD, they're not that ...

From what I've seen of Optane, this is about the right answer. LR is not likely to see much improvement from adding Optane. An M2 or NVME drive for your LR catalog would be a better, and much ...

As has been said, YT doesn't really want you downloading videos so they regularly change the page code to prevent this. Sometimes it may take a while for downloadhelper to catch up. If you want a ...

There is banding if you're recovering photos that are extremely underexposed - ~5 stops.

I see this too. Mostly they show full bars and the power drops pretty rapidly and run out after a few hours. Put some normal lithiums in there and they've lasted a few shoots so far.

I used to store them in their cases, but its too fiddly while working to get them out. Now, I have a couple of soft- foldable wallets that hold CF & SD cards and they work fine. The cards can be ...

I have a bunch that came with some Aputure lights and they're all in individual bubble-wrap pouches. You could fashion some out of bubble wrap & duct tape.

Battery like is likely to be different with the mirrorless systems, but agreed I only power off to change cards (possibly unnecessary), change batteries and at the end of the shoot/event. I've had ...

So many people saying this camera is ugly and i'm really curious to know what a good looking camera looks like?
Personally, I don't think its a bad looking camera. At least with Canon, you know it...

These prototype cameras will have been in circulation for months doing testing and we're just getting an idea of the specs now.
I'd say they've kept it very secret.

Definitely this. 7.4 was significantly slower for me than 7.3, but it did fix an annoying USB lock bug.

Not sure if serious, but both Canon & Nikon have test cameras out in the world. I doubt there will be any significant changes between now & release dates.

Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC100 ... only 2 drives required to exceed 128TB and a large mortgage (of course).

7.4 has taken a big step back in performance. It slows down significantly while editing photos. Whereas 7.3.x was fine for me - aside from regular lockups in 7.3

The thing that has changed is that there are many more tools available on Windows now. Whereas, years ago, everything to do with media creation was Mac only.

Magix is fairly small (esp compared to...

Mac users are a tiny percentage of the overall computer market these days, so I can understand not spending $$$ on it.

If you want to author a proper DVD/BRD, then something like DVD Architect will do the job. I'm sure there are other DVD authoring programs around if that doesn't suit. If you just want to store the ...

You will need strong arms & wrists if you're shooting for an extended period of time. It will put some strain on your hotshoe, but I doubt it will damage it unless you knock the flash about. You ...
