Thanks Hal, now that I get the impression my question wasn't totally off the wall: I was thinking about the herky-jerkey thing and thinking that if there could be a significant improvement in the amount of data that could be sent down the small wire, there could be a significant improvement in quality right now,without waiting for the broadband. I am remembering Bramson talking about being able to do something like changing the color of Alice's dress in Alice and Wonderland in 15 minutes, storing huge numbers of feature length films for Video on Demand, and mentioning the quality of the de-compression as being near perfect.

Hal,
I believe that Ampex's compression tech is used in their recorders and has absolutely no loss of quality. But with today's poor bandwidth its just fast enough without losing some quality. Maybe they can use some of their technology. But doubt that it would make much money. Better to sell DST's and Website Ad's. Maybe in the future they can modify some of their digital TV editing equipment for Web based production.
