Job, much thanks for your help. I realise now that I had better find out exactly what logging software the Director is using. The producer could only say it is “some kind of AVID software.”
All best,

Job, thank you for responding to my questions.
AVID Japan has agreed to show my edit house how to use Log Exchange before the client arrives from Germany (mid-June), so there’s time to figure this out and test it in the edit suite.
From your comment, I take it Medialog is all we need? I may have incorrectly assumed Log Exchange was the software involved. It sounds like it might be, if the EDL were another format such as Sony or (in the old days of linear) CMX. I used to use those to interface my BVE-910 controller with downloaded edit scripts long after I’d erased from the Sony controller memory, to re-do some of the edits.
Going back to my initial question, the director brings a software program (I’m now assuming it is Medialog), and uses it to command the drive VCR in order to capture only those parts of the tapes he needs for the edit. Can you step me through the process of automated capture when it is done using Medialog? From your experience, are there any problems or bugs to be avoided? Tips for best / fastest digitising?
