I'm confused. They're using an 8mp camera right? My 8mp rebel takes RAW shots that are around 7-10 mb per shot, nowhere near 208. ???

that may be true.

but we have other things going on that we haven't talked

about here but on the blog. (in regards to files, file sizes, etc)

that's why i'm not going to the exact specifics of the files,

what we're including, what's there, and also it's still

changing.

anyways, don't worry about any of it. it's quite aways off

until we have to deal with them. and yes, i did understand

what harmy was saying. but i still like the idea of putting

out a 720p working version first just to get things started.

there's very few people that can deal with the 1080p data

or higher. and even less that will be able to do something

with the final files. although we have multiple backups,

it doesn't hurt to have more.

we WILL be using image files as the final format, it's

easier for you to deal with, because you won't have

to extract frames to use them. and then you can arrange

them anyway you want. i know about way too many

propietary and clunky video formats, and even though

i have tons of them installed now because of this,

it's just a pain to work with, and causes all sorts of

conflicts on your system if you don't set it up right.

later
