I've seen articles that say video compression can yield compression ratios of over 100-to-1. Does this mean that the .6 gig CD-ROM now holds 6 gig? Speaking with someone at New Video last week (they are working on a DVI board for the Mac), he told me that he expected that I could get about 100 minutes of video on a CD-ROM (using their compression). -- Sherman Wilcox
