From a March 2005 'Compositing Tool Roundup' in Video Systems magazine, by Frank McMahon.

'Digital Anarchy could be a hidden treasure if you are not familiar with it... [They sell] the Microcosm codec, which is the first lossless, 64-bit RGBA quickTime file format. .. This is worth checking into if you want to move around lossless QuickTime files, or if you need to archive projects with video."

From an October 2004 article 'Working toward a universal pipeline' in Video Systems magazine, by S. D. Katz.

"[Digital Anarchy] answered the need for a very efficient and high-quality file format to serve as an intermediate work format... It's easy to recommend a product that provides important and immediate benefits, and has no learning curve. "

From a September 2003 review in DV Magazine by Matthew Caldwell.

"It's the only nonproprietary codec for either QuickTime or AVI that supports 16-bit-per-channel images. Microcosm's lossless quality and high compression ratios make it an ideal solution for uncompressed systems that are running short on storage. It is also a good solution if you need to share your files – whether the recipient is on the other side of the company network or on the other side of town."
