Firestore compression

[Hans Moleman]

Does anybody know how good the compression on the files in a firestore are? how comparable to tape?

It's the same as going to tape (compression wise).

Exactly. Bit-for-bit identical. The firestore doesn't do the compressing, and neither does the tape. The CAMERA does the compressing, and then it writes that compressed data to either the tape or the firestore, but the signal is identical.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- *gasp*....- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *cough* *clear throat* ahem, -ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo---- O!!!

I'm sorry, I thought it was uncompressed somehow. Well, now I know:laugh:

To go uncompressed, you have to go with the Andromeda mod for about $3000.

Sounds about right. Must have gotten things mixed up from a thread or two in the past. =)
