quicktime movie export for archive

if i export qt movie and burn that to a dvd as data, does that save my final at the highest quality?

i am not using export qt conversion. i want to then delete the capture scratch and use the data dvd as back up if i need to re-air the project or create a mv2 file.

am i safe with the qt movie?

yes.

but i highly suggest just copying the source project in its final state (maybe media manage it down to just what was used) with all captured media to an external drive and just shelving it. what if the client comes back and wants to re-edit it?

i have 2.5TB total. it takes at least 1TB to do my next project. i only have 450g left and thats spread out over 5 drives.

i am relatively sure that a re-edit will not be necessary. plus it would be my first time doing the media manage thing and it just seems to be an arduous task.

A data DVD won't fit very much data. Four minutes at Uncompressed 10-bit SD or 20 minutes on DV. Just get a FireWire drive. They're getting cheaper all the time.

1tb for a single project - JESUS CHRISTO! what do you have in there!??!?!

i have 10 hours of straight runtime on a drive and its less than 160gigs

doing a media manage is nowhere near "arduous" i do it all the time for final archive. just tell it to move (or copy) used content only - watch how small your project gets...

Wayne...my last show had 78 hours of footage for a 90 min show. Fit on 1.3TB...and that was DVCPRO HD.

Now I am working on a show with about 300 hours of footage for 2 hours. But this is compressed 20:1 on an Avid Unity...so it doesn't count. But I wanted to point out that 1TB of footage is really nothing. 1TB of DV is about, what? 160 hours? That is a bit...but not unheard of.
