Hi I need to back up YouTube on floppy disks (high density ofc). Can you help me figure out how many I need...

>not backing videos up on VHS

So it's even more ridiculously low, either way those things have been obsolete for decades now. Trying to store video of even shitty quality is impossible

I don't believe I've ever seen that before. Neat.

>Trying to use a storage media which has a smaller capacity than the upload limit of Yea Forums images

If you don't mind a youtube dork talking about old tech, LGR did a video on it and tested it out some time back.

Hell yeah thanks user. I've watched a few of his vids before.

As a computer tech, I've seen shit like that. One lady brought me a cd that wouldn't work. It was dirty so she washed it.

She scrubbed the aluminum layer right off it. She was handing me a scratched up semi-clear plastic disc. Not a shred of metal layer left on it.

Most of you fags will never know the pleasure of sliding in a papery 5 1/4" floppy and getting down on Oregon Trail. You don't know rage until your wagon sinks in the river and that same night indians lift everything else but your one spare wheel.

It's nice having incredibly overpowered PC's and fast internet but I miss those days. I loved how loud PC's used to be. Loud ass keyboards, fans constantly humming, modems.

>She was handing me a scratched up semi-clear plastic disc
Fucking hell, that's hilarious.

Anyway, got curious about OP's question and did some fuzzy math, got an answer of roughly
694444444444 floppies, using the estimate of Youtube's size being about an Exabyte.
I got a copy on CD for ye olde Macs, haven't played it in about a year though.

I miss these bad boys

No it's 650MB

That's actually cool

I mean I'm aware tape is a widespread form of storage that has been around for decades, but still...VHS, neat

It was a great day in class when the teacher would roll in the metal cart with a 25ish inch tv and the LaserDisc player.

That's why I thought it was neat as well. I worked in a computer/storage/office supplies warehouse in 99/00 and saw all kinds of crazy tape storage formats and never once heard of using VHS.

YouTube has 400,000tb of storage
400,000tb
400,000,000gb
400,000,000,000mb
400,000,000,000mb/1.44mb disk
277,777,777,777.77 disks, not accounting for the file allocation table. So I'd guess closer to 300 billion disks

I've got a few I can lend you but one has some bad sectors

God damn bro. I'm sorry. That's rough.

>using magnetic tape as data storage medium

yeah it's not breaking new fucking ground exactly

i would say hit up Circuit City first

this is fucking retarded I cant believe anyone took this absurd post seriously

Can't believe they're coming back

Hit me up on talk city or virtual places and I'll help you out, unless you use irc

Get on my level motherfuckers

>Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

>And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright even words of truth.

>The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

>Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Does anyone have the 4th floppy for xwing? Mine was erased by a speaker magnet and I don't want to go back to playing Blood

Read this. It was written just for you.

>not chiseling ones and zeros onto cuneiform tablets to archive your videos
Absolutely hunter/gatherer.

All of them.

No one took it seriously you fucking potato.

Are you always a moron or is tonight just a fluke?

tl;dr

Get a Zip drive. You’ll only need 5 or so of them.

Yeah my dude, there is at least 1.86 exabytes of data on youtube so that's 1,860,000,000,000 megabytes
So you're gonna need about 1,291,666,666,667 floppy disks my guy which would require more barium ferrite than there is on planet Earth so I think you're SOL my man.
