Re: Codec choice for long term SAN storage?

Bob, I really appreciate the time you took for a detailed answer. The theoretical we're looking at is, what do we do if we go to card-based cameras, the footage must be kept, but the cards must be turned around rapidly for re-use, pretty much every day. The footage needs to be kept forever, it may need to be accessed by three or four editing rooms, on very short notice, hen again, footage might stay there for years until needed again. So: SAN, NAS SOTWAN? (Some Other Thing With a Nickname) I gather you don't think we should bother converting footage, just store the native files, whatever flavor they are.
