Ah yes, seems very similar to https://www.hardingtest.com but double the price and they don’t offer a service to fix the problems?
Still, worth taking advantage while it’s free! Thanks Eleanor

Why? He comes across as a total pratt…

In PAL land black level is at 0… 7.5 to 100 for NTSC (other than Japan).

I’ve just come across this having had similar problems myself. There didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why my video was failing as it was due to patterns rather than flashes in my case.
In the end I just used the guys at hardingtest.com to resolve the issue, uploaded my footage to them and they got it fixed, mastered it to digital betacam then delivered to the broadcaster.
Still racking my brains as to what went wrong though!

Note: I’m not saying tape will last 100 years or anything, just that when compared to a DVD-R, tape is a far better archive format.

This is wrong – we use tape a lot older than 10 years old on a daily basis. 2″ Quad from the 70s and 1″C from the 80s and 90s and still play and look great whereas we get problems from DVDs as recent as 5 years ago.

I’d also be interested in hearing replies. I definitely would not be using DVD-Rs, they are not a long term storage format. In 20 years time you will be able to pull a digibeta off the shelf and play it, this won’t be the case with a DVD.
