Some of the things we learned about video recording and processing.
* Don't rely on remote storage of raw footage that will
need post-processing! Copying DV files takes time!
* Don't use hacks like piping dvgrab through netcat,
unless you don't have any large local storage.
* Use 2.5 USB disks large enough for one day's worth
of recording, and plug them into the editing work-
stations (again, avoid copying). Sneakernet can have
quite impressive bandwidth!
* Get LARGE disks for the editing workstations, and
store the archive there, if possible.
* If large disks for the workstations are not available,
use remote RAID for the _processed_ video (batch copying
_after_ the work is done; no waiting)
* Obscenenly high-res screens or dual displays are good
for editing work!
* 3 GHz CPU and Gigs of RAM are good for editing!
* Each editor needs a good pair of headphones.
* The party crowd and the musicians must be chased out
of the video room while the editors are working.
