Looking for a tool or a script or a set of script that use popular but safe encryption standards to encrypt personal images and videos. What do you use?
It depends on what you want to do. Do you want full-disk encryption or just one encrypted partition/file? Personally I use full-disk encryption. From what I've read its recommended to encrypt the whole system and not just a partition if you don't want important data leaking into the non-encrypted parts of your system.
On Ubuntu Server I selected full LVM encryption during installation. Everything except the /boot is encrypted, which works great without too much overhead even on this aging 1,3 Ghz machine. I heard good things about TrueCrypt as well, which should work with OS X and Windows but I haven't used it myself.
Btw I did use Filevault on OS X for my whole disk and the experience was less than pleasant. Especially with resume and hibernation. This was with 10.3 (Panther), so it might be better now.
