Media 100 native codec is apparently a type of JPEG with each frame compressed to anywhere from 10K to 150K for 640x480 NTSC. Frame sizes are slightly higher for PAL which has more lines. It seems to have hardware compression on the NuBus cards because it's capable of this same capture performance and realtime playback to the video output analog ports even on an 840AV. The bottleneck is hard drive write speed. The manual says it needs at least 4.5 megabytes per second, which ought to be within the means of that 18.2gig SCA drive, but apparently not when necked down to narrow SCSI. :P What'd really be neat is if I could find a RAID 0 disk driver that supports volumes larger than 4gig on NuBus PowerMacs. Apple RAID and SoftRAID run the version 1.5 68k code driver on the NuBus Macs, PPC or 68k CPU. But at least after being setup, the RAID 0 volumes can be Erased to HFS+, under OS 9.1 anyway. :) 9.1 also supports pretty large volumes and files larger than 2gig. Even niftier is that Media 100 2.6.1 will happily output a digital export video (Quicktime MJPEG) larger than 2gig. Quite a feat for a program written when single disk drives larger than 2gig were just appearing. I need to test and see if it'll capture beyond 2gig or if that's hard coded into the software. In the mid 90's, Mac OS did not support files over 2gig, not even on HFS+. ===== Say hello to Juror #49. Yep, I'm on jury duty until the end of March. Gotta call in each weekend.
