How many MB would you spend for extra safety on a 800 MB rip ?

Hi, i guess the question is self explaining. We are finally trying to move things about extra header protection in matroska, and were wondering how many MBs people were ready to spend for extra file safety ?

how about giving it a default of 1%-3%, but letting users select more or less?

Extra header protection? Nothing is easier than that: Store them twice or more often...

most people would take 20mb? only for the damn headers? with 20mb we could have error recovery :D

If matroska is so l33t, 500KB should be more than enough :D.

I think 10MB is appropriate.:D

I think 3 MB should be enough for header backup&protection. But that should also be configurable, like soulhunter said, imho.

damn guys error correction is already possible with mpeg-4 bitstreams as i wrote with full error correction (which means as good as all errors get corrected (not only detected!)) it will need 7% of the file, which are ~40mb on a 600mb movie i guess if you dont use Reversible VLC you will get a significant drop in the overhead (maybe around 20mb?)

@bond what about the audio part? edit: oops sorry :( i didnt read your post thoroughly, this wont happen again nxt time

chris, you have a little bit of a persecution complex ;) if you wouldnt have such a complex you would have read my thread about mpeg-4 error recovery and would have realised that the error recovery is stored on bitstream level... the only one who talked about mp4 is you :D
