Re: EX1R workflow?

Burn the BPAV to an optical disc (DVD) or if they offer a hard drive that works too.
Include VLC (and/or ClipBrowser) on the disk. I've included a quick tutorial video I've made so they can use it.

Actually VLC only needs the MP4 so you could very well just hand them the MP4 but YOU really need to be 100% confident you know what you're doing because UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do YOU want to have anything other that pristine BPAV as your masters.

Keep in mind you can always go the "old fashioned" dub route and make them WMV and H.264 MOV files but that, like any other dub, the client has to pay for and, like any dub, they are not the same quality as the master. Many (maybe most) still want this (they MUST PAY FOR IT) since it's easier for them but some clients want a fast turnover of files to view at master quality and UNLIKE the old days, you can do that now.

Ultimately, one of the great features of files based systems is that one does not need a compatible deck to view. The free VLC will work. They don't even have to have the codec installed.
