What is the benefit of flv? More control? Higher bit rate than they would give? One less re-compression? Strange image sizes? Makes sense though. Has anyone tried? Got a link?

My so-so experience with wmv led me to try Export Movie – quicktime. Much better. QT. sorensen3 ( all I have), 15 fps, progressive, keep movinbg the qality slider down – doesnt take taht long to encode. Audio takes up a huge part of the file – go to mono, then 24khz rather tah 48. But yes, it takes experimenting to get it just under 100mb. or just set teh maintain data rate box. 320×240 at 300 kilo bytes per second looks good to me when uploaded. Faster to encode than wmv as well.
You can calculate file size from seconds times datarate of course, with an allowance for audio. 60 seconds at 1500 kilo bits per second (300 kilo bytes per second) is .9 megabytes 10 minutes is 90 mega bytes. Plus audio.

I would check legal on the union thing. Once you sign, you can’t go back without creating another production company – I think.

Interesting argument, but I think it is missing the trees for the forest. Its not just the Adobe software. Premiere does not operate in a vacuum. You need drivers – video cards, capture cards, sound cards, cameras, monitors, disk arrays. You need supporting applications – effects programs, things like Particle Illusion, Smart Sound, DVD authoring, 3D. Codecs. You need the latest QuickTime, and God forbid, Windows Media Player. Plugins for Photoshop and Premiere. DV Rack. Scopes. The list goes on and on. And each new device needs to be delivered for all of the flavours of Linux , BSD etc. I would bet that you will see a rock solid support for an 8 core processor from Microsoft long before it is stable anywhere else. And the cost of windows at say $100 per computer is trivial compared to the cost of just the Adobe suite alone, let alone all of the rest.

Are you sure about that? My recorder does not even provide a finalize option if it is loaded with a +RW disk ( whereas a +R and -R disks do provide the finalize option) – and it appears to me that the concept of finalize does not exist in the DVD+RW world. YMMV
-
My Philips recorder finalizes +R in less than a minute after recording 30 minutes. If I use +RW, then there is no finalization, and the disks seem to play well in run of teh mill newish players.

AFAIK – SM57 made in USA ( mine are ), Behringer made in China – for those who care about those things

Thanks. I can read German. It looks great. Now to find a way to buy one in Canada. I will contact them.
BTW, this project has gone with 2 DVD players with video DA to show 2 programs at once. Cat5 to composite coax Baluns. The picture look good enough. Biggest problem was with the low end LCD TVs that showed huge color differences among them, and probably will again if there is ever a power failure.

4 – 8 monitors spread over 3 rooms. Would a computer and DVI DA be less costly than 4 – 8 DVD players? More reliable? Retail store sales manager freindly? How would you get HD to play on the computer ( Windows media player? ) and how would you get DVI out of a computer? Know nothing about Macs though. I looked at a few component video over Cat 5 things. A central player will make the displays look nicer because they are in sync though.
