Re: DVD's successor



Why not use zip disks for this purpose? They cost a little more, but the ones I have store 100 MB a piece.

Does anyone know how much space an uncompressed hour of US videotape requires?  How much a similar length of uncompressed 35mm color film?  How long does a long but not ridiculously long film actually run?  It seems to me we should now be thinking from the top down and establish a measure to guide future developments, this process or the next.  A film or video equivalent to the Beethoven 9th, used during the design of the CD, should be established before things become frozen.
