no, that would only be materials cost. the company would then have to add all their overhead -- rent, utilities, engineering, marketing, HR, then *profit* on top of those costs, etc etc...
I agree with you. My point was how ridiculous it was for that guy to insist that the cost of an enclosure and TB2 interface was only $30. We need some more reasonably priced TB and TB2 drives and enclosures, but it's not anywhere close to those numbers yet.
Right. I have a 4k sample video thats only 4 minutes long, and its 900MB.
That sounds low (and that would mean 4000 minutes of 4k, which wouldn't be too bad). Probably highly compressed, 4k footage used for editing could be much bigger than that.
