Even a dual-layer DVD wouldn't be capable of containing two hours of *uncompressed* video. You guys want to mail each other DV cassettes, fine, but expecting an online upload is pretty unrealistic.

It certainly sounds unrealistic at first, but if the capture is converted to lagarith instead of uncompressed, it would probably be about the size of a BD-50 and people upload those to newsgroups all the time.  (Just a thought!)

That sounds like the most practical idea Chewtobacca; though I would push the compression to about the size of a BD 25 (smaller yet pretty good quality). If needed, perhaps a quick and dirty (no menus or frills) dual-layer DVD can be completed for the raw capture. With those two sources, people should be able to do whatever they want with them.
