>> Or... REALLY CRAZY IDEA... How much is a 20/30gb hard drive? I could perhaps shift everything onto one drive and send that out? It would be in the Matrox uncompressed AVI format (which DEFINATELY plays in Quicktime and FCP). That's a pretty crazy idea.


Ha ... if you can capture that way, surely you can compress the material into M2V format (MPEG-2), the DVD format, in which case it's a DVD and no further steps need to be taken!

You could burn it in whatever format onto DVDs 4GB at a time also.


>> BTW, I checked out that Raggedy Ann And Andy disc - did you guys realize that the WHOLE THING is anamorphically stretched, and lot just the opening shots of the girl? At least the version I have is.

In my version, which is from VHS, it is SLIGHTLY stretched anamorphically, but not much. Not much at all.

Chris Boniface has done a lovely restoration from my disc which stretches the image out again ... I haven't received his final version in the mail yet though. I have an early attempt.

I really want to see your version here ... I'm sure it's better than mine, which suffered from compression issues.


>> I agree with a post above - the stair chase scene is a dead ringer for the same in The Thief...definitely some kind of test

Yep. The Raggedy Ann sequence was based on a Little Nemo comic. Williams liked it so much he put a similar but better sequence into The Thief.
