- As you know, one of the best ways to get Lightwave rendered images to
- actual GOOD video formats (D2) is to save your frames to an "Exabyte" drive,
- trundle them over to a post house, and have them output them from their
- Abekas ddr's.
-
- I believe this is how Foundation, Amblin, et al do it.
-
- But, there I was reading a PC (sigh/yuck) mag, trying to become
- aculturated to that disgusting cult, and lo, here's some Exabyte brand tape
- drives for like ~=$270.
-
- Now, I >>know<< that the Exabyte used in video was going for around
- $ two grand, so my assumption is that these are a different format. The mystic
- phrase "QIC-320" rings a bell.
-
- The question is: What is the format name of the Exabyte drives that
- are used in post houses?
-
- Q2: What prices are they currently going for?
-
- Q3: (As long as I'm here...) Anybody know of a post house in Seattle
- that uses that combination of equipment?
