Sory Rat, but I CAN mathematicly prove you that under the right conditions, A/D
conversion is just a conversion. It's not a form of compression. Take a cours
at the Uni in Discrete Signal Processing and you'll see that you're wrong!

Well, you just can't store 30 minutes of video on a 12 cm disc digitaly without
doing any kind of compression. (And in the case of CD-Video that's MPEG1)

Hmmm,
I rather had the impression that there is nobody (except for you) out there
that thinks about ADC as a form of compression....
