Big files but iMovie liked them. Esoteric formats are really a pain... Windows has an advantage there and you can probably find a freeware that converts either the codec or only the container.

FYI JungleDisk now has provision to backup to servers run by its “mother ship” without “bandwidth charges.” Still, buy that new hard disk, each and very month for the same or less.

SO, thanks for bringing BackBlase to our attention. I sure hope the company and their model survives!
