Clearly that is a matter of opinion. In future there may be plenty of
storage and adding "useless junk" may not be an issue.

My hardware capture card creates mjpeg. It (or maybe the driver) is
not capable of capturing uncompressed video. However I am happy with
the quality. If, as you say, mpcf will meet my needs I will also be
happy. That's what I came here to find out/ensure.

There are people who want "useless junk", I have READ some of them
here. I have also READ your comments against. Will everyone end up
statisfied then?
