Hi Matte,
Thanks for your post and thanks to everyone else who responded. This is the kind of stuff you won’t find in the manuals.
A couple of questions, if you don’t mind. Are you putting discs out at SP quality or LP. Secondly, what is your success rate (roughly) percentage wise?
I put my discs out on SP. I like the quality but I get 10 to 15% of the discs back. I redo those on LP. It does the trick but I’m not satisfied with the quality of LP. I’m just looking for a better way of working.
Thanks all,
Andrew

Thank you for your reply. It sounds like I need to rethink the way I do my DVDs. Could I ask you to point me in the right direction for learning that process? I don’t mind learning on my own, I just need a starting point. Are you using DVD Studio Pro?
Thanks
Andrew

To be honest, I really don’t have alot of experience trying to pull something off of a CD for broadcast use…I tried it in the past with no luck, just wasted time. I’m used to using my own footage(DV) or footage from BetaSP or DVD. I don’t know anything about the specs on the files…I just kind of cringe when people tell me that they have ‘great footage on CD’ for use in an ad. I’ve thought that it was’nt relly possible to pull great video footage off of a CD, but it sounds like in some cases it is possible.
Thanks,
Andrew
