Makes an cheap, fast way to put lots of data onto lots of hard drives. Using one of these bad boys means no extra money is spent on drive enclosures, cases etc. You only buy raw standard hard drives. Excellent if it's only backup, and you do not need lots of access. This solution is not automated however.
Hard drives are prone to failure. I was thinking of buying at least 2 drives of different brands to mirror, storing them in separate locations in sealed, air tight containers at just the right humidity/temperature. Also I think a disk check every 6 months or year would be necessary, and if any problems are found, replace the disk with another.
One beauty with this method is you only need to pay for disk space as you need it, and hard drives may still get much bigger. I was going to buy drives at the lowest cost/megabyte which at the moment is 160GB drives.
I would love to find more information on the physical storage of hard drives, especially how long they would be expected to last without use - months? years?

In VLC v0.8.1:
Preferences->Audio
ensure the "Advanced" button down the bottom left is ticked
The option you are looking for is "Audio desynchronisation compensation"
You will probably need a negative value.
You have to close and re-open the movie for it to take effect.
