Nappy,
I think it was really obvious from the very beginning to most if not all
newsgroup people that uncompressed is always better than (lossy) compressed,
and that our exchange shed little if any new light on the topic except to
dispute "excellent" versus "crappy". Since we have been dabbling in very
qualitative language, I want to add that the Super Audio SACD disks I
compare to the uncompressed LPCM make the LPCM uncompressed disks sound
"crappy" by comparison, so the ultimate topic of discussion becomes somewhat
moot if only restricted to what sounds "good", "bad", or something
in-between.
The more useful discussion in my view is how cleanly the editing and post
tools can and will handle these video and audio streams, since they ***are
and will be delivered in these compressed formats*** for the foreseeable
future. In a perfect world where the tools allowed editing of mpeg content
without further degradation, the very same quality delivered to the end user
would be preserved from the original capture all the way to the final disk
or broadcast. For those of us old enough to remember "direct to disk"
recordings made at 45 RPM on Westrex cutting machines, to avoid the garbage
added by magnetic recording, playback, mixing and post processing chain, the
result is essentially the same. Perfect editing tools, or little or no post
processing of the original 384 kbit/s stereo stream can deliver equal or
better results than the current 5.1 systems do in 384 kbits/sec.
I am not at all sensitive about the email topic either. As I stated
originally, the enormous HDV file would best be mailed to an address which
could be exchanged privately once an email contact was established. And
sending an email address using some intelligent version of light encoding
would avoid automatic spamming from occurring.
