p2 hard disk

[Barry Green]

The only hard disk recorder on the market today, that works reliably, is the FireStore FS-100. And it lets you record about 200 minutes on its 100GB hard disk.

DVCPro50 PAL, I believe, is 8.82 MBytes per second.

Never tried the CitiDisk. I have shied away from it because of multiple unflattering user reports, as well as similar reports from their prior product (the CitiDisk DV/Quickstream DV). You should get some user reports before trusting your footage to any recording device.

Frankly, I think cheaping out on the recording medium is probably the worst place to try to save money. It always boggles my mind to see people trying to save 50 cents on a tape by using an off-brand. All the work you do, all your time and energy and effort and all your expenses and sets and actors and locations and all your props and travel and catering and EVERYTHING that you do, all comes down to one thing: what gets recorded. If it doesn’t get recorded, everything you did is completely wasted.

So I say go with the best possible, most reliable, most trustable recording format you can possibly get.

That’s right! A blank tape costs a few bucks ($40 for DVCPRO HD), but after your long day of shooting on the set you had built with all the extras you hired and food you provided and crew you hired, now that tape is worth THOUSANDS. Don’t skimp on your recording media.

We have the Firestore, and it works very well for us after an initial problem with the charger was (quickly!) solved.

DVCPro50 is always 50 fps, independent of fps. AFAIK, neither the Cineporter nor the Citidisk (in DVCPro version) is availbale until today.

Iif you like, ask me in Spanish, I can understand it, only my written Spanish is pretty poor.
