We are considering swapping from QSR N6 to ATLAS-TI (or some other
package that handles multimedia data) for analysing our video-recorded
interviews. Up till now we have analysed the transcript only but realise
that we could gain a lot by coding the video data directly. However, our
interviews are anything from 1 to 3 hours long and we don't know whether
it would be feasible to handle this quantity of data with Atlas-ti or
other packages. We have between 40 and 50 interviews in each project.
Is anybody out there analysing this type of quantity of data with these
packages? If so, what package do you use, what format are your video
files, do you compress them first, do you save them onto CD/DVD, how
many can you get on a disk and how does the software cope with accessing
different disks?
Any advice would be welcomed, even if it's to say 'don't do it!'.
Many thanks
Julie
