Fred, I think you should put NLE out of your mind for about 2 – 3 years. My guess is that it will be that long before hardware and software support for bandwidths and filesizes will exist at an affordable price that does not depend on very high compression (and visible loss) JPEG schemes. In other words, I think NLE needs a little longer to mature before it is truly a professional quality, desktop operation in the price range you are seeking. Ya know, if we could snap our fingers and make the broadcast and reception of TV a digital phenomena, the no loss comnpressable NLE would be a snap! And probably very cheap. wmc – via Autopilot!
