Can I use Google Drive to archive family videos (.avi) from 8mm Sony tapes?
-
The files are 12-13GB Avi's. What are my options? I would like to Permanently Archive our Family Video Collection - Using Google Docs. After reviewing the following: http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=37603 I've noticed that Google states there is a 10GB individual file limit on individual Video Files. I have purchased a solution called "The Dazzle Video Creator HD+" combined with "Pinnacle Studio 14" edition which converts my ancient 1 hour 8mm Sony Video Tapes - to Digital Format. When saving in DV format (Best Quality) The .AVI format creates files between 12-15GB's (For an Hour of tape footage) I would like to save my Video's in the highest quality form with little Loss of image quality. (With out having to split the tapes into multi-parts) I am seriously thinking of buying 200GB of storage on GOOGLE to do this. http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=39567 A) Can I upload files of these size? B) Can I play back files approaching these sizes, within the cloud enviornment of Google Docs. I'm hoping someone who is actually doing this could answer my questions. Thanks in advance

Answer:
Apparently it looks like Google can't go beyond 10GB http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Docs/thread?tid=0c482f7a16801552&hl=en&fid=0c482f7a168015520004aa914b89dac5 I'm busy researching an alternative called Live Wire for offline storage http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=196&uid=105640256160784#!/topic.php?uid=105640256160784&topic=196 - They claim that they can handle ultra large files of this kind. And Stream them. Yes uploading these monsters is a separate issue. I found other cloud storage solutions here. http://gizmodo.com/5828035/the-best-way-to-store-stuff-in-the-cloud Hey Google why the limit on File Sizes? If Live Wire offers this why can't Google?
