Travis,
I’m in the same boat. A large TV group I work for is going to be 100% file soon and they told me not to bother buying a record DigiBeta deck. They accept and swap uncompressed QT files from their Avids and FCP for air. They tell me it’s coming fast everywhere. The record Digi decks are so high priced it’s the first time I’ve ever said no to buying a piece of equipment, but especially now that the TV group suggested not to. I do what others suggested, I have a friend at another studio who takes my file ftp and puts it onto Digi when needed. I think forming this kind of relationship (nstead of buying or renting) is the way to go. I do pay him a reasonable fee. One question, when you send your DVD’s do you send a dataDVD with a file on it? or a regular consumer video DVD?
