Viewer Question: Ubuntu 12.04 hosed my setup and I had to install it fresh. I'm having trouble getting fstab to load my RAID and another hard drive at startup. Once I add it to fstab, I can't boot.
Viewer Question: I use Wirecast for Mac. When using my Canon HV40 video camera and Logitech USB webcam, I'm getting audio lag on the webcam. I connect the audio through the HV40 camera to bring all the audio into Wirecast. What am I doing wrong?
