Thanks-

Thanks for the info.
I’d heard that that solution is a high initial investment, but cheaper down the line.Interestingly in my informal survey, people are doing all sorts of things. I spoke to the librarian/archivist at the National Press Club today who mentioned off-site storage; that is renting space on a server at Amazon or .mac. in addition to backing up locally. In that case the storage provider is responsible for keeping the storage protocols up to date.
One has to remember to keep the machines/software around to playback the material and migrate it as the media protocols change. (She still has her Betamax and lends it out to friends who need to re-digitize material).

I think that what it comes down to is comfort level with whatever system one uses.
Walter’s system seems like a good one. Generally I don’t access material as often once it’s stored, but the idea of doing a double backup mitigates any problems with one large drive/archive. We’ll have to see if any solution is still around in 100 years…or 10 years more realistically. -
Any thought over the years that the drives may seize and not work when you pull ’em out after awhile if they’re not used?- or is this my imagination.
I’ve always thought that drives are optimized to be working relatively continuously, like a car engine. After they sit for a long while on a shelf, maybe they don’t work?
Of course the answer to this is to take them out every year or so and exercise each one.
What do you think? -
Two questions-
-How long does it take to archive a typical project to blu-ray – say a half-hour program?
-Is blu-ray a long-term archiving solution? I know…some of my old 3/4 tapes are sadly deteriorating after about 15-20 year. Do you think the blu-rays will last?
Thanks,

Still having the problem and no one has seen this??
It’s weird because it’s intermittent. I seem to be able to make it go away with a match frame and setting an edit point, but then it re-appears..
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

This is the first time I’ve seen this. I tried a ‘show match frame’ on the combo sequence and it brought me to the correct, in synch version of the string out. Something is random here, but I don’t know what.

The answer is:
Zebra2 is fixed at 100, not changeable and macro is only available using the servo focus>>focus wheel pushed forward.

So you’re saying that zebra 2 is unsettable on the camera and macro is only available with the servo focus?
I’m going to Government Video Expo in DC this morning so I’ll see if there’s anyone there who has a definitive answer.
