You don't have enough disc space to even get started. I took the 1.2G to be processor speed, not disc. He never mentioned how much disc he has. > A 100 GB drive, used solely for digital video, will only hold 28000 seconds > of video, or about 7.77 hours of video. That is nothing. ...depending on your project. You could be a commercial editor with 18GB of space. > Nope, tape used for storage, discs used only for editing. And if you want to edit, you gotta get it to disc. Plus, depending on the usage, storage on disc makes sense. If you are duping tapes to different formats, a single digital master on disc is a great help. -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
