I don't see the problem encapsulating MPEG2 material inside a AVI, of course if you don't hit any of the AVI limitations.
I wouldn't advice to use AVI however, since it has much more overhead than MKV. Consider AVI deprecated, Matroska is the way to go if you wanna use the files on a computer. When wanting to playback the file on a standalone that's of course another story... Jam it back in, in the dark. |

If the storage form is open to discussion I would encourage to setup a small dedicated file server with a RAID1 setup. With SMART setup and RAID volume desync detection and everything. Pretty neat because you get email from the machine when it detects a failing drive
Filesystem should be extendable so you can just insert new (bigger) drives, sync them and remove the old ones. Of course this doesn't protect you from software or user errors. However it's currently my type of backup system for music files and at least for now it's working very reliable. Should also work great for video files.  How ya doing, buddy? |
