I have heard a lot about video-disks and their large storage capabilities which would be a boon to storing large images. However, I am not very conversant with the advantages and disadvantages. If they are so great in storing data, then how come we still use tapes ? What are the advantages of VD when compared to tapes. In maintaining a lerge data-base of images would video disks be a better choice than tapes ? Do they give faster access ? I would like opinions from people who have worked with VD or those who are well conversant with the technology .... nitin {seismo,allega}!rochester!ur-laser!nitin.uucp
