Re: cvs for media files?

I'm going to be working on a collaborative audio documentary, probablay
using audacity. I would love to do some kind of version control on
the project, sowe could all work on the documentary at home & then
merge (and accept/reeject) our changes somehow. But probably this
will involve incremental changes to a significant number of media
files. Does anyone know whether there's a version-control system which
can handle such changes to binary files easily and clearly? I don't

Subversion (aka svn) does binary-differencing both when transmitting changes and storing them, so it should be much more efficient than CVS when dealing with binary files. I have no idea how well it would handle a multi-gigabyte video file, but its worth a try.

However, the most important tool that AFAIK is missing, is a audio/video differencing tool - like diff for video. Without an AV diff tool you cannot resolve conflicts if two people change the same revision of a video file.

If someone out there knows of some such tool - or thinks I'm way off - please respond!
