I sort of knew that would happen - Mac OS's have used two forks for
each file probably since the original Macintosh in 1984, a resource
fork and a data fork. I suppose it avoids some of the file application
mapping issues that arise in single fork files. It does create some
issues under DOS, Windows and some versions of Linux, just as some of
the hidden files in a Windows folder are extraneous (though probably
not harmful) in the Mac world. Since I no longer burn DVD's, I haven't
experienced any issues - plus DVD player seems to handle the files
correctly regardless of where they come from. I figure I have about 12
full 2 terabyte hard drives ( there are actually 14 drives but I'm
removing duplicates and repacking files) from this group and the
dvd.erotica group (plus a collection of stags).
I have to say I have a slow connection (averages about 2 MBaud
download, and 0.5 Mbaud upload). It further has the advantage of being
unreliable. Based on downloads about 1 file in 10 needs fixing, and
uploads are running at least that. But that is the price you pay for
rural living.
If something comes up I have, and doesn't seem available elsewhere I
endeavor to post it, it will be a tedious process for all involved. I
also need to resolve a rar compressor issue with my security setup.
