Actually Disney re-evaluates archival every 3 to 5 years, so although they may have determined that DVCAM is the best solution at this time, I wouldn't assume that they expect DVCAM to last forever. -----Original Message----- From: "Richard Brown"<richard at go2rba.com> Sent: 8/6/04 11:57:05 AM DVCAM tapes, given the due diligence a company like Disney goes through prior to making archiving decisions, should likely give anyone considering archiving to MiniDV the best possible longevity.
