[IMC-Video] live streaming

Mon Aug 21 11:57:59 PDT 2006

Now we're talking but $800 is outside my budget
especially for a 40 Gbyte thing.   we've already considered
plunking down a laptop next to the camera.  but we
need to be accumulating the video files in a place
they are accessible for distribution ON SITE to the
participants and audiences in events. and upload
to the web immediately rather than next christmas,

Somebody up there (Apple, Sony etc) wants to charge
ten times the actual cost of a storage device. That's all we are
talking about---- a storage device with a proprietary
interface to keep the volumes low, wall out the generic
devices, and costs and prices high.   NAS storage is around
$300 for a 500 GBytes 
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=nas+storage
and these outperform a firewire drive since every chipset
in every computer since the 1980s is designed from the ground up,
to read and hurl data from memory to/from the network
interface,

sorry for the rant.   proprietary standards are destroying
the planet and filling the landfills with toxic waste.
