Hey gang! I'm about to migrate to full HD on the post side. As I make the transition, many clients and agency types have the same questions I have... What "tapeless" delivery method(s) is/are the most popular with stations in your markets? Most non-broadcast facilities and cable MSO's will take uncompressed AVI and MOV files. My main concern is what do we need to offer the broadcasters that do have the capability of importing and airing local HD content. What about exporting HD spots directly to Blu-Ray for distribution?
We're dealing with :30 spots here so there's no long format file exporting going on that would require the purchase of an actual HDCAM or D-5 deck.
In addition to format, what are you charging clients for fulfillment and distribution? Are those of you who are doing spot work charging a fixed rate like $XY for a BetaSP dub or charging based on time to export and burn?
Thanks for your input!
