A lot of commercials are delivered to stations via ip or a satellite so the quality could be better than Beta SP. Direct TV and Dish pull local stations off air and then bounce it off a satellite a couple of times which causes the 5 or 6 second delay and in most cases there is a lot of A to D and D to A conversions going on. I would pick DVCam over Beta SP just from a dropout standpoint.

Hi Douglas,
LTO data tape, or HD DVDs or some other archive media. Not videotape, some format that keeps the metadata intact so the files will reconnect or import etc.Jim Calahan

How are you handling timecode for each iso record? This works out to about $8,000 or more per recorder what with Kona Cards and fiber, XSAN etc. plus software. Is that about right?

What format is the video in? Drives are large enough now we hardly ever do any actual editing in low-rez or offline quality. With P2 and the other tapeless formats it’s become a fact of life that you need some sort of datatape backup from here on out.

I’m asuiming this is not a Final Cut machine so the proper codecs are not in the Quicktime library folder. Copy them from the Final Cut system.

29.97 is drop frame TC. If you are doing longform projects you want DF TC so that your show comes out to time. All PBS HD submissions for instance are 1080 29.97 DF HDCam.

We are having XSAN issues which may or may not be related and unexplained crashes when scrubbing files in the viewer and even quicktime itself. I had a FCP class a couple of weeks ago where Larry Jordan said to stay away form 7.2 but we had already done it here as well.

Try Disk Warrior, and no I don’t know why it happens.

The Kona 3 has a machine control problem and I don’t know if it’s a 8 core issue but that’s what we have it on. It freezes 38 frames then will paly during master to tape. Media100 is working on the problem.
