>>Your prev post was about what you considered the proper/cheaper way to produce a vid. segment. << Reliable. You forgot the reliable part. >>the question about recording to a jaz disk (I meant from hard-drive to jaz disk) was to illustrate how much faster it is to transfer the video segment to a cart vs a tape.<< Actually, this depends once again on your compression scheme. High Quality Video can take up huge amounts of disc space, and actually take longer to transfer the file than to print to a VCR. In fact, if you save the raw footage data as well, you'll find that this is the case more often than not. The rest of your last post would depend on the purpose of the Video. The Buz I believe has a highest quality setting of MPEG1. This will give you resolution of (352 fr. x 240 fr. x 30 fr/sec, and data rate of 1.15 MB/sec) A 25 minute segment with MPEG1 standard quality therefore yields 1.7+ Gigs. How fast can your system transfer 1.7 Gigs? It's a shame that SyQuest looks like it might not ship the Quest, because this is the only removable drive that looks like it has the capacity to handle the size and speed requirements A/V demands. Even Iomega's mighty Jaz2 looks puny if you can only squeeze about 30 minutes of MPEG1 footage on it. If a client wants last minute changes then he must pay for it. We encountered this many times, especially with our last big client (The Big Huge Financial Communications Firm). They kept changing the final video edit even during the sound mix. No skin off my back, just more $$$ for me. Our backups are to DAT data tape. But we generally keep everything on our hard drives until the project is totally complete. Then we back everything up to data DAT. Reformat the drives. Same song, second verse.
