Nevertheless, many editors don't like the extra step and possible lossiness of Intermediate Codecs or Proxies. They buy 8-core monsters and external RAIDs. More power to 'em.
Interesting article in the 8/20/08 issue of TV Technology (sorry, not online). The author complains about all the RAIDs he's ever used (it can take up to *14 hours* to rebuild a RAID with 300gb drives; during that time all your data is vulnerable to another failure). Anyway, he waxes poetically about Grid Computing on a GigE network and how not only can you use the Grid for storing multiple copies of your data, but also use their CPUs to do rendering!
