Macweek 11/02 ad an article describing a 30-minute public television 
show (station KCET) that was recorded and edited entirely using	 
a quicktime accelerator board and Adobe Premiere.

Is this is the first broadcast use of compressed digital video?
The article says that 30 minutes of 24bit 640x480 frames fit onto
2 2-gigabyte drives using a compression ratio of 8:1 (I calculated
something like 12:1 using these same figures).

The show is for broadcast this month and supposedly will be 
broadcast directly from the hard disk.  Sounds foolish- 
what if the machine crashes.  On the other hand, it sounds like
they spent all their money on a mac and hard drives rather than on
Betacam VTRs, so they may not have a choice.
