 Hi Thomas- we're currently in production on a show that is pretty
projection heavy (although Catalyst is being used for playback). I've
been chatting to the programmer, and the codecs he swears by are
Animation, or Photo Jpeg. File size is large, but CPU is low. He also
recommends a 3 drive RAID array, to prevent disc failure killing the
show, and improved I/O speeds....
Hope this helps
Dan
