That's what I was thinking. BTW, it's 6 minutes per Gigabyte, not
megabyte. I'm not sure if that includes audio. I was interested to see
that Newtek developed the compression algorithm for the Flyer; it doesn't
use any of the "PEG's", but instead they developed "Adaptive Statistical
Coding", since they felt the "PEG's" couldn't deliver broadcast quality
video (this is from a Video Toaster User article handed out at the show).
It also says that at the highest (D2) quality, it takes 4 to 5 Megs per
second (6 minutes per 1.4 to 1.8 gigs), and at a typical user quality it
takes 2 megs per second (6 minutes per .72 gigs). You can vary the
compression ratio from D2 down to SVHS quality.
