>>Also, people will be able to record digital video on the same CD. The sheer capacity of the CD and extremely inexpensive cost (compared to a Zip disc, for example) makes the CD a perfect archival medium. << I agree. The number of people who have direct and immediate access to high quality digital video editing right out of the box (thanks to Steve Jobs and his iMac DV's and G3/G4's ) is astounding and using CD's to store your edited home movies makes the most sense. For a $1 a CD-R or less nowadays, you can store an entire Quicktime movie of considerable length that can be played on any PC with a CD-Rom- and potentially through Dreamcast or Playstation video systems on your TV's well. Tape-based home movies are on their way out thanks to CD. When PC makers and Micro$oft and Bill Gates finally get their act together and offer PC users the same powerful video editing right out of the box (along with Firewire/DV camcorder I/O as Standard Equipment) like Apple does, things will REALLY start rolling.
