Huffy masters for all of my stuff dating back to Vampire Story.

Yeah I do something similar. I keep a HUFYUV file and the project files around until after con season (never know if a con wants some obscure encode or timing requirement) and then burn off the project file (not the VOBs) and MPEG-2's.

I keep all the project files on DVD-Rs and then the final video in DV (What I edit in) and Mpeg2 masters.. A also have two copies I tape via Firewire on to Full Size DV tapes and one Mini DV tape I keep in my Safety Deposit Box....

dvd burners are still shit expencive here (around $280 for 8x dvd+r drives). though for people using them and burning huffyuv files, it would make sence to just burn the project file instead, but if ya insist on burning huffy, just use dvd9 disks, which hold about 8.9 gigs. though they are prety expencive compared to dvd5, or mabey thats just here. then again, ive heard that dvd10 is much more commopn and popular in the usa, so that would make dvd9 even more expencive. ah, if only we could have dvd19

(double sided, dual layered, would hold almost as much as blue-ray,)

Burn as a SVCD, make 2 copies, and give one to the person that made it. Chuck the other one into a huge ass pile in a drawer and delete the source material myself...
Then if anybody wants to see them, they can just throw one in the player.

The only other option is to compress it for the .org

Keep the huffyuv master for manipulation and recompression into any format. Granted, I've only ever finished one video, and that was two years ago and never to be seen

If I actually edited, I'd do something like Corran.

I've been keeping the Huffy's split on several CD-R's since I last year (started with Cherrybomb V2). I have the MPEG2's on my hard drive though.

i think i'll keep my huffyuv masters and just burn them to dvd-rs. too bad i only have two left >.< i can just burn the videos that i don't have huffyuv's of on cds like i did in the past.

I still haven't mastered encoding vid into something other than xvid

..so I usually keep a huffy version of the finished vid along with the project file and any misc. stuff I used in the vid and burn them to dvd-r. Though I just started doing this with Abracadabra and the vids following it. I really wish I'd have saved the ppj and huffy files for Trigun Tuff and Can't Get You..

I just keep it on my HD until it dies.
