Engineering Committee Report: Approaches to Videodisc-Based Editing

Optical videodiscs offer many benefits for editing applications. Their interactive capability provides nearly instant access to 30-minute segments of video with two channels of audio. Videodisc players deliver frame-accurate freeze-frame, slow motion, and reverse motion and are cost-effective and reliable. In addition, recent advances in both DRAW disc development and edit system hardware have made the utilization of videodiscs for editing purposes more practical than ever before. This article describes two approaches currently in use.
