It would primarily be a database of still images, but there would also be a number of short full motion clips. I am sure there are other folks out there who are either in this position or thinking about putting themselves in a similar one. Can anyone recommend articles or books that describe the processes that one must go through to prepare materials for disc mastering? I know how much they charge you to press a checkdisc once you have a master 1" tape; that last bit seems to be the easy part. I need to know about the earlier production costs so I can put together a realistic budget. I may come back later and ask if there are folks who want to cooperate on this project, but for now I'm just looking for references that I can read to help me anticipate my needs. As I said, I'll bet there are other folks out there who would be interested as well. Thanks for your help. +----------------------------+ | CHRIS CLARK | | 106 HEAD HOUSE 1 | | PENN STATE UNIVERSITY | | UNIVERSITY PARK, PA 16802 | | 814-863-6169 | +----------------------------+
