sites ie, lucasarts, pixar, pdi dreamworks & under the job opportunity sections they frequently stress not to submit demo reels on cd. They request mainy ntsc or vhs, whats the deal here.
i would have thought cd's would be sufficient.

thx.

one thing i could imagine is that videos look better if watched on the monitor of a computer. the vcr and tv has the advantage that the reel will look like it is supposed to look. images out of a computer will always look good on the screen - but will they still look good with reduced contrast and limited color and interlaced? especially anti aliasing needs to be done different with interlaced video. then another thing could be that a vhs is compatible with every vcr or vcp - but is a cd with whatever video codec compatible with every computer? what about security - virus on cd for example ...
