Did I say "mpegs"???  I said "raw MJPEG captures".  These things are
often 2-5GB for 1-2 hours.  I'm not talking about the "end-user" format,
but the raw, "pre-processed" video.

P.S.  DVD-RAM doesn't play in normal DVD players, nor even most
DVD-ROMs.  It requires advanced error checking logic that most
non-DVD-RAM vendors (e.g., Panasonic, Toshiba, etc...) don't put in
their DVD-ROM drives.  It also has a cartridged, 2-sided, 9.4GB option
-- which makes it more of an archiving media rather than a consumer one.
