    Hello,
    In a previous post I’ve asked how to print HDCAM media, but I think Im going to go a different route.
    Thanks, Chris Young for your input.
    I’ve found an article from DSE, it’s at the bottom of the post, where it’s mentioned that I can actually render to HDCAM to a drive that I can take to a production house.

    Here’s my question
    Im using Vegas 7. My footage is NEO HDV. What codec and custom setting should I used to render to HDCAM so a transfer house can adequately print those HDCAM media? It’s going to festivals.
    I thought HDCAM was disc, but apparently it’s tape, correct?
    So in the RENDER AS box in Vegas, should I go in MPEG, Main Concept, AVI, then which settings?

    Is that something DUART does? Who else does?
    Thanks
    Phil

    Buddy, please… for the sake of everything that is decent and beautiful in this world, spend 20 minutes with google and wikipedia and educate yourself to some bare minimum before coming here and asking us to chew your food for you. The amount of good, detailed information that is out there is just staggering. Far more useful information out there than the bit squished between all the advertising on the Cow. And don’t do it for me. Oh no, do it for yourself. You wanna know why? I’ll tell you why, chances are the person that answers your question is only slightly less ignorant (or merely slightly more confident) than you and will give you a bad or misleading answer. Now, if that’s what you want, just let me know. I lie real good and I’ll give such misinformation that I wont just ruin your day but your whole month.

    Offended? Angry? Good. Now use it. Use that anger, that energy to better yourself. To learn. Go out there on that vast ocean of information we call the internets and track down one of the 47,000 easy to find websites that describes all the various video standards and tape formats and read and look and remember and read more and then forget a little bit of it but come back the next day and read some more and download some pictures (but not those pictures) and so on…

    I mean it, go!

    And how do you know that this is NOT what I’m doing? Just comparing what several sources say?

    Wikipidia, hum, the encyclopedia written by anybody, including kids, yeah, sure!

    Hum, angry, not one bit, but you surely are. Sorry you had a bad sunday. Let me guess, you broke your wife, you guitar died and your dog left you?
