  • HDV master to flash drive or hard drive

    Posted by Greg Lewolt on November 24, 2009 at 3:06 am

    I do not have a HDV deck or camera that takes large tapes
    have a dsr11 dvcam deck but don’t want to downrez to dv widescreen.

    As there are USB flash drives available at 32, and 64 gigs and cheap external hard drives, I wonder if anyone is delivering tapeless.

    would I just render the mt2 project, Everything shot HDV 1080i on a sony A1U camera, as one file and drag over to a drive?

    This is for VOD and cable broadcast shows
    Can I up render to HD?

    thanks,
    Greg lewolt

    You won’t want to render to the flash drive; at least in my case I’ve seen corruption in doing so. But I have delivered masters of commercial pieces on a thumb drive, just giving it to the client. They also later receive a disc archive, and we archive to a spun up HDD system.

    do you just render the hdv file as is and load the whole piece on the thumb drive

    i was not thinking of rendering to a flash drive, just copying the movie file to it afterwards

    what brand of thumb do you use?

    thansk, Greg

    I forgot to add that i cannot talk with the end user
    and the company I am delivering to is clueless
    master will go to VOD companies and cable outlets, so i don’t know If they will accept a m2t movie file?

    Or should I render the movie tosomething else, such as upres to hd

    thansk, Greg

    I use Megaupload, it’s free and allows up to 1 gig file size upload. You can then send anyone a link to download them. Any larger, I break it up ur deliver on Thumb drive. Danny
