Thanks for the reply.
The assets are all Anamorphic DVCAM produced for DVD sell through. I doubt most of them would pass any kind of thorough broadcast QC. By and large they are 48-60 minute ‘inside the music’ style documentaries covering classic rock bands.
The fees for I-tunes/I-store are prohibitively high in relation to the type of returns expected. Amazon VOD looks like one avenue. however the client is determined to ‘get his stuff in the iphone/pad’
Having spoken to a few folks since posting this, I am currently looking at some kind of traditional e-commerce ‘digital download’ solution with a free iPhone/pad app as a front-end.
