@begin[enumerate] 
@b[Permanent videodiscs:] Some video information will be accessed often,
such as information about Boston or the conference, and a number of
copies must be available simultaneously.  The cost-effective solution
is to press 30-minute permanent videodiscs, at $1950.00 for 15 copies.
We expect to record approximately three hours of pre-submitted material, 
at a total cost of $11,700.00.

@b[Write-once videodiscs:] Some video information will be accessed
rarely (such as individual messages to friends).  The cost-effective
solution is to use 13-minute write-once videodiscs, at $125.00 each.
Each video-editing workstation will be able to accommodate the
creation of 120 minutes of video per day.  Ideally, we will be 
able to run three such stations for four days each, which would 
result in 1,440 minutes of video at a maximum cost of $13,850.00.

@b[Videotape: ] We will record onto 3/4" videotape and edit it, prior
to placing it on the videodiscs.  This will allow us to optimize seek
time for commonly-used video segments.  We expect to use 40 one-hour 
tapes at $20.00 each, for a total of $800.00

These figures are based on maximum anticipated use of the system, and
total $26,350.00.  A contribution of $10,000.00 towards the production
of video will enable us to produce a limited, but working version 
of the video portion of the mail system.
