Kevin, you are backtracking on your own >arguements, earlier you tried to point out that 'bottled' footage from movies >did not make good interactive TV. Please read again. I said that usable raw data can be a key factor. That's different from simply playing back bottled footage, which is something another person brought up when talking about DCTV capabilities.
