Thanks guys, that makes sense. I've advised the person I was speaking to and updated the page to read: "Rivendell currently stores audio cuts in the Broadcast Wave File (BWF) format as .wav files. The audio within these files can be encoded as PCM16 (traditional large .wav files, around 10MB/minute) or MP2 (MPEG Layer 2) (around 2MB/minute). Unlike older versions of Rivendell, no special hardware is needed for either PCM16 or MP2 audio files. It's important to note that whilst Rivendell stores audio as PCM16 or MP2, it can import from a multitude of sources including CDs, MP3s, FLAC and WAV files. " I may re-write that whole page when I get a minute! -- Regards, Aaron Horn, [email protected]. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
