How fault tolerant is a DV camera? One of the reasons the DAT drives for data are so expensive versus similar drives for sound is that the sound formats allow for dropouts and missing bits when the data is read off the drive, but computers are pickier. I've always assumed video was the same. This was also the problem with those devices that tried to do the same thing with VHS tapes. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28.
