ot runes, thanks I knew there was a missing piece. Actually, even in what appears to be MPEG or MPEG1 format (I'll try MPEG2 from home tonight) the compression was my original statement of 5 mins. of digital video is 1Gig of hard disk space. I am guessing MPEG2 will be the same since AVI is the real ball buster and appears to be 10x greater than either. But I will experiment and let you know. While there may be nothing left to compress it seems like a breakthrough in the way digital information is saved might be the key. All the quark talk and futuristic 'alternative dimension/universe' ideas that can have multiple 'answers' at once (instead of the old 1 or 0) would solve this issue sweetly. Imagine a rotating quark that could hold each type of compression you mentioned all in the same amount of room that used to be able to only handle a 1 or 0. How about holding 100 times that information? Now we're talking! Is anyone here currently working on projects like this? If so, get back to work and stop shirking by reading this <gg>. RO
