When I think of mastering to laserdisc I'm definitely thinking of those that will play on comsumer brand LD players. I understand that there are laserdisc recorders that can make masters that will play on standard LD players? Maybe I'm mis-remembering some messages to that effect? Re JPEG storage. I've found common times for a hires-interlace image to compress/decompress (in ADPro, for example) are in the 3-5 minute range (on a 28mhz 030, at least). Black Belt's was a tad faster as I recall, but certainly nothing like just loading/saving a regular IFF24 image. If I'm going to render 1000+ images I probably don't want to spend another 4 minutes per image compressing them, I think? (4000 minutes @ 3 full days of computer time, just for the compressing) And then you'd have to uncompress. It would have to figure into your cost, right? Then again, given the rendering time to do 1000+ frames, maybe it's not so bad! 🙂 –jp–seattle–
