- Suitov 13y agoVery definitely years. It wasn't just for finished programmes (i.e. ~ number-of-channels*24 hours of footage/day): it was for all rushes. All the footage that was filmed in the course of making the final programme. We're talking stupid quantities of data here and I've never seen a detailed answer to how it was all supposed to be stored.
- CraigRood 13y agoI'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about because this project was VAST - but would't a mkv type solution over P2P (BitTorrent more specifically) been more practical? I can't help but think they tried to make it too complicated and it just collapsed, not much different than your typical startup.
