Just knowing the color space used to represent pixel data is not an indication of the range of colors that can be represented (except in the cases of YIQ, YUV, and CMYK but these are other issues entirely)....What really matters is knowing:
1. The frame resolution (im assuming that its one of the HD resolutions like 1080 since this is the way tarzan was shown digitally)
2. Compression method (most likely some DCT variant)
3. Compression ratio (according to my math tarzan was ~ 50:1)
4.Most important however is bit depth and weather that data is logarithmic (ala cineon) or linear....these can range from 8-16 bits per channel....
finally....someone is willing to throw the ball at be for a change...i incedentally got the same run-around from be about a global village modem i was running on my mac...be said it enabling it required proprietary apple hardware info...funny how it worked fine under linuxppc matthew
this is a huge and growing industry that someone with skill and desire has every likelyhood of getting into...that being said i think that it is important to note that like everything else you will have to pay your dues...doing all-night roto or render wrangling (or both)...
check-out the pages i have compiled on the subject at: http://media.berkeley.edu/~mrehrer/vfx/
and a good list of vfx houses andpost houses: http://media.berkeley.edu/~mrehrer/vfxlinks.html
btw manex still refers to itself as mvfx (manex visual effects) what they formerly were is mass illusions....much more impressive than the matrix was their work on what dreams may come...

you should check out some of the stuff that has been done in my research group...

i think they might have derived it from cinema...
normally i wouldnt pick on a spelling error but when you are citing a source...i mean come on...
