Hi – the footage is from television shows that have already been edited and aired. I would be taking bits from these shows. I imagine at the moment all these old shows would be stored on dvd or something similar, in their edited format.
As I am new to this, I am unsure what sort of ‘deck’ I should get (if the people I’m getting the footage from happen to be able to give it to me in some sort of tape format – although then I’m still not really sure exactly what sort of tape/format I should be requesting a I don’t know too much about different types of formats, or decks for that matter)
