And how good a resolution will the video be?

What would be really nice is high-res access to *all* the material. Right now, if you want, say, a high-res photo in the archives taken from the Korean War, you've got to find out where it is in the archives, then pay some third-party company to pull it out, scan it, and send you a CD-ROM. If the intent was to keep most citizens from having access, it's a very successful program.

I wish there was a law that said once private individuals were paying, collectively, more than a million dollars per year for some kind of government data (created by taxpayer dollars), then the government has to just go ahead and make that data available online for free.
